Oh man.. the schwa character shows up as a box for me now that I've posted it. If you have boxes, it's supposed to be a schwa - that is, an "uh" sound.

since i used to be way into greek mythology, i don't like Callisto based on the story. :( the name is soooo pretty but she was kind of a crazy in mythology.

i REALLY like Adrastea!

i wouldn't do Aoede simply because no-one knows how to pronounce it. I must've heard at least three pronounciations of it so far. :(
