    1. Amazon: In modern society, Amazon is an online website and company that people can buy items from and have those items delivered straight to their doorstep. Also, there is a river in South America named the “Amazon River.” On the contrary, the Greeks believed that Amazon was a race of women warriors. The Amazon River was named that because the 16th century Spanish explorer Francisco de Orellana claimed that he encountered fighting women on the Amazon River.
    2. Arcadia: There is a city in Los Angeles County named Arcadia. In Greek Mythology, Arcadia was a Utopian place where many inhuman creatures including the god Pan resided. Arcadia in Los Angeles County has a fitting name because it is a nice place to live.
