/rambles to self about mythology in Vesperia

Aug 15, 2009 14:29

Video games really commonly take themes from mythology and what not, and with it so rampant in Symphonia and Abyss, it just didn't seem as obvious in Vesperia. An interesting tidbit though, was that vesper = Hesperus, which is the personification of the evening star. Interestingly enough, the 'evening star' is Venus (they have something like Venus too? Innnnnteresting.) and because of its appearances during the evening and morning, it's also the 'morning star'. The morning star was given a different name, which, in Latin is lucifer. And lo and behold, Duke's Entelexeia bud is called Elucifur.

I guess one could interpret that Elucifur and Brave Vesperia had the same goal in mind: saving the world. But just as they are the same goal, there are different methods for solving the same problem.

...I could be looking too far into it, though. XD
