Let’s start with the first 5 “terms”…

Plato
Plato was a philosopher in Classical Greece. He was also a mathematician, student of Socrates, writer of philosophical dialogues, and founder of the Academy in Athens, the first institution of higher learning in the Western world. Along with his mentor, Socrates, and his most-famous student, Aristotle (Alexander the Great's teacher), Plato helped to lay the foundations of Western philosophy and science.

Perseus
Perseus, the legendary founder of Mycenae and of the Perseid dynasty of Danaans, was the first of the heroes of Greek mythology whose exploits in defeating various archaic monsters (like Gorgon Medusa) provided the founding myths of the Twelve Olympians. His name was taken from many great men in Greece like Perseus the Macedon, the last of the kings in Macedonia region.

Titan
In Greek mythology, the Titans were a primeval race of powerful deities, descendants of Gaia (Earth) and Uranus (Sky) that ruled during the legendary Golden Age. They were immortal giants of incredible strength and were also the first pantheon of Greek gods and goddesses.
In the first generation of twelve Titans, the males were Oceanus, Hyperion, Coeus, Cronus, Crius, and Iapetus and the females—the Titanesses—were Mnemosyne, Tethys, Theia, Phoebe, Rhea, and Themis. The second generation of Titans consisted of Hyperion's children Eos, Helios, and Selene; Coeus's daughters Leto and Asteria; Iapetus's children Atlas, Prometheus, Epimetheus, and Menoetius; Oceanus's daughter Metis; and Crius' sons Astraeus, Pallas, and Perses.

Penthesilea
Penthesilea or Penthesileia (From words "PENTHOS" (mourning, grief) + "EILO" (grip, squeeze, wring, grab, grasp), the name PENTHESILEA literally means "mournful grip") was an Amazonian queen in Greek mythology, the daughter of Ares and Otrera and the sister of Hippolyta, Antiope and Melanippe. Quintus Smyrnaeus[1] explains more fully than pseudo-Apollodorus how Penthesilea came to be at Troy: Penthesilea had killed Hippolyta with a spear when they were hunting deer; this accident caused Penthesilea so much grief that she wished only to die, but, as a warrior and an Amazon, she had to do so honorably and in battle. She therefore was easily convinced to join in the Trojan War, fighting on the side of Troy's defenders.

Ohrid
In antiquity the city was known under the ancient name Lychnidos meaning "city of light", from lychnis "a precious stone that emits light", from lychnos "lamp". By 879 AD, the town was no longer called Lychnidos but was referred as Ohrid, possibly from the Slavic words vo hrid, meaning "on the hill", as the ancient town of Lychnidos was at the top of the hill
Ohrid is a city in Former Yugoslav Republik of Macedonia and the seat of Ohrid Municipality. It is the largest city on Lake Ohrid and the eighth-largest city in the country with over 42,000 inhabitants. Ohrid is rich in picturesque houses and monuments, as for example, the Ancient theatre of Ohrid of the Hellenistic period, built in 200 BC and is the only Hellenistic-type theatre in the country as the other three in Scupi, Stobi and Heraklea Lynkestis are from Roman times.
