Even more myth sightings on TV

The TV show Archer draws on the modern myths of the glamorous, adventurous spy and the relative cheapness of equipment and infrastructure in the KGB and Russia in general, but it also refers to more traditional ancient myths.  Two of the major players in the show are the International Secret Intelligence Service (ISIS) and the Organization of Democratic Intelligence Networks (ODIN).  As far as I can tell, the names don't really correspond to the mythological characteristics of Isis and Odin, but considering there's two of them, it's likely they were intentional references to myth.
