From all the programms, I say the sol divisive[url=http://wwwdestiny.wikia.com/wiki/Sol_Divisive][/url] and the Precursors[url=http://www.destiny.wikia.com/wiki/Precursors][/url] will occur because they represent Greek mythology best cause of their appeareance.First, the minotaurs, they are large and powerful just like the Greek mythology minotaur, who lived in the ancient mythology labyrinth in Athens and had the same name. Second the hydras. They dont look like the greek mythology one who was a nine headed monster with snake heads that could spit fire, but was slain by Hercules. The hydras are terrorizing too, and have the same body. The Gorgons on the vault of glass has a move where when they see you, you die with a move called the Gorgons gaze. The ancient greek mythology medussa was reffered as a Gorgon, and had the same move called the gorgons gaze, that could petrify targets forever. The black garden[url=http://www.destiny.wikia.com/wiki/Black_Garden][/url] could be reffered as the upper world for ancient greeks(paradise), also reffered as the "birthplace" of the vex, where they were reborn,which could indicate paradice. It looks the same and the cruicible map Pantheon is reffering to the Pantheon in greek mythology, on top of olympus, where the twelve gods lived. EDIT: THE CUCLOPS REFERS TO THE ANCIENT GREEK CYCLOPS, CAUSE THEY BOTH HAVE ONE EYE AND ARE GIANTS

4 RepliesEdited by Levigumba, Overload's Bane: 8/29/2016 7:06:05 PMEach enemy has a tie to a different group. Fallen = Pirates. Hive = Medieval Hierarchy. Vex = Greek Monsters. Cabal = Romans with the exception of psions, but they're possibly a different species, so it probably doesn't work for them.

12 RepliesAnd the iron banner is very norse. Wolves and trees. Fenrir and ydrasil anyone? Thetes also some very medieval looking stuff. There are all sorts of links to history and mythology in Destiny.

All titles that the vex units have were likely given to them by us Simple codenames and callsigns because there was nothing else to call them Named ones like Aetheon are a different story

Cabal is roman themed. Fallen are pirate themed. Hive are religious/cult themed.

2 RepliesHave you ever considered the following? If humans ever encounter an alien race with several distinct species but did not know / could not say the aliens word for each species, they would create their own names for them. It is most likely that these terms would be something familiar (such as the name of mythical monsters or other creatures) so people could identify with them easily It's also natural that we would use a consistent theme (for example, start with Greek mythology and continue with it when dealing with the same alien race)

And the cabal are Roman themed
