Well, I'm bringing Perseus, and also give a try in guessing the code. Actually I'm gonna give it two tries: code is either founder heroes, or mythic figures born out of a love between a god and a mortal ("demi-gods" is what they call that?) :p

Since when Hercules is a Greek hero? :P
What do you mean? Since when was he not? It's just another way of saying Herakles...

Sorry 'bout the late update, but Zamolxis guessed it right. I was looking for ancient/mythical heroes.

P.S.: Herakles is the Greek name. Hercules is the Roman name. The two are often confused where they should not be.

Okay. Is there a difference between the two though, except for the name? Because, I mean, otherwise I'd say it's just a synonym for the same guy. But not if the Roman Hercules' story was different from Heracles' story.

The Roman legends of Hercules are slightly different from the Greek legend of Herakles, but they stem from the same mythical legends, so they share much of the contents. What ticks me off is the sort of thing Disney did; mixing Greek and Roman, like use the name Zevs in the Hercules movie... Zevs in Roman should have been Jupiter.

Yeah, that's just weird. It's like they went "well, none of our target audiance knows anything about myths, so we might as well mix it up".

I say it's Disney's fault. They mess up everything. I love Disney's Hercules!!

I don't know if it all Disney's fault. Remeber some TV series with Kevin Sorbo? And how many errors it have (like ex. Cylon :P)?

Besides in MM6 we have artifacts named after Greek gods and heroes and there also is Hercules not Herakles.

Oh, and Romans copied many things from various nations - Aeneid is just copy/paste of Odyssey and Iliad with changed names.
Did they ever heard about copyrights? ;)

Let's try an easier one: I'm bringing Galadriel and I can pass through the door.

:P I think you'd discover why this is the case if you googled Aeneas.

As far I remember story of Aeneid was ordered by Roman officials and was fake (opposed to Homer's poems which were based on real events).

I order Malekith to pass the door.
