If they were shorter than the length of the bed, they were stretched out until they fit. If they were taller, some of them was chopped off. We still see references to Procrustean bed arguments.

I'm just surprised it mattered :o) Hate to break it to you, but mythological characters can come from any mythology which encompasses more than Greek or Roman bodies: Irish, Norse, Hindu, Egyptian etc ....

However, if you are only interested in favorite Greek or Roman mythological characters, then my first inclination is to go with Naomi's choice....Perseus or maybe Pandora - she was full of innocent curiosity and look what it lead to!
