I need to learn me some Ancient Greek Myth
I have finished designing and am currently playtesting a card and dice game based loosely on "Clash of the Titans". Right now the game is very generic in it's approach but I want to make the final print version "Greek" themed.
For the most part though I am fairly weak in my Greek Myth-Fu. I've got the gods down, but can someone point me to a good resource for heroes and people of interest in greek mythology.
I am looking primarily for stuff outside of the Trojan War, but if I have to turn to that I will.
Could someone in the know let me know if it would be possible to come up with about 15 heroes of the mythology that cover the basic attributes of leading men, good in battle, and ingenious?

Thank you very much! The links were helpful. Now I just have to hope that people playing my friendly little game won't mind if some of the Heroes are from slightly different time periods. :)
