Falstaff dresses up as Herne the Hunter in The Merry Wives of Windsor. In Love's Labour's Lost, Moth is disguised as Hercules.

All of the characters in Troilus and Cressida are from the Iliad by Homer and are legendary. In Cymbeline, Postumus dreams of Jupiter who appears on stage. In As You Like It, Hymen, god of marriage comes to officiate at the marriage ceremony. Both A Midsummer Night's Dream and the Two Noble Kinsmen portray Theseus, legendary king of Athens, whereas Pericles involves Pericles, another character from Greek legend.
