Hades and Olympus

Oh, point taken Zaqir. I think there's two separate issues going on there and I misunderstood which you were referring to. Taking a second look I believe you're absolutely correct about the context. To answer your question, my personal feeling is it might be a question to bring to Dr. Bowman. On the one hand, the real place and mythical place are synonymous, since mythology tends to borrow from and aggrandize the natural world - it's simply perceived differently because something magical happened there. I don't know whether or not it would be prudent to clearly delineate the "realness" of these places based on context - if it's clearly inferred that the context is mythical, then I think an argument could be made for it, but it might be difficult to discern in some cases. For the specific ones you're looking at I would say it's fine, but at that point we should probably revisit all such possible cases and make judgement calls on them as well just to be consistent.
