Who are Athos, Porthos and Aramis? And Why?

Athos, Porthos, and Aramis are known as the Three Musketeers, not the Three Tenors, Three Wise Men, or Three Blind Mice. The Three Tenors refers to a trio of renowned opera singers, while the Three Wise Men are biblical figures who visited the infant Jesus. The Three Blind Mice are characters from a nursery rhyme. In contrast, Athos, Porthos, and Aramis are fictional characters created by Alexandre Dumas in his novel “The Three Musketeers,” portraying the camaraderie and adventures of these musketeers in 17th-century France.
