I like it. It's cool and better than Opus, Fable, Sonnet etc.

Like who can figure out the ordering? With Luna < Terra < Sol < Astra it's obvious at a glance.

I propose for some third company to name after monsters: Cyclops < Minotaur < Ettin < Cerberus < Hydra < Kraken < Nyarlathotep (the AGI singularity stage)

Haiku, Sonnet, and Opus also made sense to me, but Fable ruined it. It isn't at all clear that a fable is bigger/grander than someone's magnum opus—actually, I'd think probably the opposite.

I don't think it gets better if you swap "fable" for "myth" either, although when you add "-os" to the end it suddenly sounds grander so there's that. Mythos isn't a model I can use, though.

Oh thats funny, I previously thought Luna > Terra because I assumed the order was “further away from earth = better”. I guess that speaks for itself.

There is also more room upwards. Galaxy? Quasar? Filament?

I mean, Haiku < Sonnet < Opus < Fable/Mythos makes just as much sense. They're larger and larger works.

Maybe if English is your first language it does.
