- :D I am not patriotic at all. Actually for the moment I'd love to move soewhere away from Finland. But well, it is always great that patriots exist. Without people like you there wouldn't have been any different (and interesting!) cultures people like me like to study. Actually, no land could exist without patriotism. :D
Out of your list, I like:
Pasiphaë
- Could you tell something about it?
Electra
- Love it
Euridice
- Orpheus and Euridice. In an opera with that name is a lovely flute solo. I adore the Russian form of Euridice, Evridika.
Eriphyle
Arsinoe
Andromeda
- Beautiful. I'm an Andr-name addicted person. :D
Iphigeneia
- Stunningly beautiful, really.
Theodora
- I love -dora names, too.
Roxani
- :)
Ourania
- I have thought about adding it to my PNL
Klimentini (greek form of Clementine)
- Oh wow, I like it very much!
Orestes
Phaethon
- Love the story
Alkinoos
- Pronounced ahl-KI-naw:s?
Odysseus
Ares
- Not something I'd like to use, though.
Iason
- Hate Jason, adore Iason.
Emmanouil
- Nice
Iraklis
- I remember there was a place named Iraklion, am I right?
Adamantios
I like your list. :)

In Greek mythology, Pasiphaë (English IPA: /pəˈsɪfeɪiː/, Greek: Πασιφάη Pasipháē), "wide-shining" was the daughter of Helios, the Sun, by the eldest[2] of the Oceanids, Perse Like her doublet Europa, her origins were in the East, in her case at Colchis, the palace of the Sun; she was given in marriage to King Minos of Crete. With Minos, she was the mother of Ariadne, Androgeus, Glaucus, Deucalion, Phaedra, and Catreus. She was also the mother of "starlike" Asterion, called by the Greeks the Minotaur, after a curse from Poseidon caused her to experience lust for and mate with a white bull sent by Poseidon.
Alkinoos
- Alcinous Greek Ἀλκίνοος (sometimes with the diacritical mark Alcinoüs; also transliterated as Alkínoös) pronounced: al-KI-noos
Heraklion or Iraklion is the largest city and capital of Crete.
