Greek Epithets (alt)

Guess who each Homeric epithet applies to! Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epithets_in_Homer
The Greek word ἐπίθετον (epítheton) just means "adjective."
N.B. This quiz only has one epithet for each person, but "Greek Epithets" has them all.
I chose which epithet to keep for this quiz somewhat arbitrarily, but I tried to have as little overlap as possible.
