 Questions & Answers, Greek Mythology Link.
I have a research paper on Greek mythology and the "12 major gods and goddesses", but when I try to find out which of the gods and goddesses fall under that category, I get different names each time.
As far as I know, the number three often occurs in Greek mythology (there are three Charites, three Moirai etc.), but so it does in other contexts where men's thoughts have structured the world around them.
Another reason, especially relevant in this case, is that names of characters in Greek mythology often are not made up from Greek words but belong to a language, or languages, unknown to us.

 Macedonia for the Macedonians
The hypothesis that ancient Macedonian was closest to the Thessalian and Magnesian Aeolian dialect is based upon a fragment from Greek mythology in Hesiod (Fr.7-MW), that Magnes and Makedon were first cousins by the sons of Helen.
Greek propagandists insist that the ancient Macedonians were Greek and therefore, Greece has the right to the name, Macedonia.
It is clear that among the glosses there are borrowings from Greek which in antique times was a language of great prestige (as English and French are today, and Latin was in the Middle Ages).
