Yep!  The others were Solomon (I don't believe he was a Greek god),
Achilles and Mercury.  I changed the meaning of "M" in SHAZOOM
from Money to Magnificence.  I thought for sure you'd catch that.  (-:
 
I think I still have the same pocketbook you have.  It should be in a large
plastic box somewhere near my left foot.  Many of my collectors' books are
probably somewhere over western Kentucky or Tennessee, thanks to Katrina.
