Over 100 physics entities named after Greek mythological figures

Provides hyperlinks linking names to their scientific counterparts

Creates indices organizing names by myth and physics themes

Abstract

Greek mythology supplies fundamental physics with the names of numerous (100+) experiments, machines, codes, and phenomena. I present the central narrative of Greek mythos via these names. Hyperlinks are provided for their physics counterparts, and the names are collected in myth- and physics-themed indices.
