Here's the riddle. Maybe we all could put our heads together and figure it out.
The river to the underworld
Gaia’s daughter all unfurled
Fourth minor bear in vain
By viper’s sting was slain
Also known as Nemesis
The doom of Chimera
She is tasked with soothing pain
Suckling Odysseus from afar
Mother of the mother of
Leader of the Titans
He transformed into a hawk
A daughter of Daedalion’s
The piercer was how he was known
Mother of Ulysses
Ruler of the winds
God of night, primordial flees
Zeus’ namesake now lies in Sol
Achilles’ favoured horse
Women of vengeance infernal
The vain queen rides not forth
A final word, a course to follow, a poor miser’s sum
If you would understand it all, seek Fibonacci’s Zephyrum

"Zeus’ namesake now lies in Sol" = Jupiter
"Leader of titans" = Cronos which is also the roman name for Saturn
"Achilles’ favoured horse" = There was two Balius and Xanthus. Xanthus apparently has been recorded as a NEO (near earth object)

"Mother of Ulysses" = incorrect
This is all just using google, looks like there is somthing to find in Sol. I will update if i work out anymore. Im 30k ly away but somone go check out the crator for me haha

Stuff I could think of, although its doesn't really solve anything. Chances are the guys in the rift thread will solve it long before we could.

Styx
Rhea
no idea what that means
Eurydice
Rhamnousia
No idea
Possibly Athena, who favoured Odysseus.
Gaia
Not sure from Greek myth. Hawks are associated with Hermes, but he never turned into one. Could be a nod to Egyptianl mythos, Horus.
Chione most likely
Iapetus
Anticlea - Ulysses is Odysseus.
Difficult - could be the Anemoi or Aeolus (Storm God)
Nyx
Zeus is Jupiter in Roman mythos
No idea - never knew he had one.
Erynyes or The Furies or, if you like Neil Gaimen, The Kindly Ones
Not too sure, too vague. Could be a reference to Andromeda's story.
No idea
We all know Fibonacci! Zephyrus is the west wind.

Hello everyone,
Long time reader, first time poster, but this has caught my interest. I might have been ninja'd to the easy ones but I think "the ruler of the winds" was Aeolus.
They must all be references to celestial bodies or maybe even constellations?
I may be wrong but was Achilles' horse not called pegasus?
Let the shout down commence [yesnod]

I'll check it out after the footy I'm only a couple of jumps away at jamerson.
Our Solar System was designed by the Fibonacci Sequence
Planets' Moons:
1 (Earth) / 2 (Mars) / 70 (Jupiter) / 62 (Saturn) / 27 (Uranus) / 13 (Neptune) / 5 (Pluto)
Planets' Moons In Theoretical Order:
1 / 2 / 5 / 13 (14) / 27 / 62? / 70?
Fibonacci Sequence ["f" represents numbers from the Fibonacci Sequence]:
Practical Implication - 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55? and 89?
Planetary Implication - 0 (Moonless Mercury) 1 (Moonless Venus) 1 2 (Earth & Mars) 5 (Pluto) 14(?) (5+8f=13/Neptune) 27 (14+13f=27/Uranus) 62 (27+14+21f=62/Saturn) 70 (Jupiter)
The "Solar System Was Shuffled Between Earth, Mars and Pluto For A Reason" Theory: 70 - 62 = 8. 1 + 2 + 5 = 8. The Solar System was Shuffled, that is why the planet's moons are in a weird order. When you put the planets in order of having least moons to having most moons, you will see that this theory is connecting the Planet System to the Fibonacci Sequence. Not only that, but the two are "intertwined".
Theoretical Concept - Shuffled Solar System:
Earth > Mars > Pluto > Neptune > Uranus > Saturn > Jupiter
X (Earth) > Red > L Brown (Yellow) > L Blue > D Blue > Yellow > Red [Pattern]
One More Example: Pluto has five moons.
The fibonacci sequence at this time is 8. [See above Fibonacci Sequence and Planet Order Chart]
5 + 8 = 13.
How many moons does Neptune have? 13.
The core of our planet is red, orange and yellow.
The outside of that core is green, light blue and dark blue.
The Universe surrounding the planet which contains the core is purple.

Indeed, that was incorrect on my part.
I hate riddles! Cant FD just tell us to go here and you will find aliens

Fourth minor bear in vain = Ursa Minor.
"Minor bear" could be Ursa Minor (Ursa being Latin for "Bear"). Well, pretty certain it is - since that's a literal translation to Latin.
Here my Astronomy abandons me. What does "Forth" and "Vain" mean?
Okay - four systems in Ursa Minor contains planets. So i'm guessing it's one of those four. Which is connected to vanity?

Forth as in 'go forth' so onwards in time or in space.
Vain either means doing something that fails, or having a high opinion of oneself.
