greece and cythera
-
(not a cry for help)
i've just realized that there is greek names and myths mixed up with cythera. e.g Melgear 2 The first one was a leader in Alexander's army and the second one was a beserker.
-
Yes I've noticed this to, and I think I posted it once also.
-
Indeed, even the game is named after a Greek island.
-
heh you only just relised, infact Ambrosia means the food and drink of the gods
a tad odd name for a company :huh:
-
Sounds fine to me. I can't imagine Ambrosia being called anything else, in fact.
-
Actually, the naming of the game and the company is completely coincidental. The game was independently developed by gandreas, and since the Greek-ness of the game is so fundamental to its character, I can only assume that it was developed as such long before he ever approached Ambrosia about selling it.

Indeed, Cythera draws heavily off of such things.
I seem to recall that someone also speculated on a Roman influence a while back...?
-
I've speculated a smidgeon of Germanic. I don't know about any Roman influences, though, except insofar as it is the case that many Greek references has been transmitted to English through Latin.
I suppose there's some of Paracelsus in Cythera, too, which is comparatively much more recent.

Don't forget Transformers! :laugh:
