What software do you know that uses mythological names for its release (version) codenames?

Yeah I think everything that I’m aware of uses version numbers, not that the numbers always necessarily make much sense either

Don’t know much mythology. Do Thunderbird and Firefox count?

Edit. Just realized those aren’t version codenames.

For a while Debian had IceDove and IceWeasel due to trademark issues.

Closest I can get is my server is hosted with a company called Mythic Beasts, who use mythological beast names for their hardware.

Lansweeper uses Belgian beers. Not quite mythological but I think that’s pretty funny.
