Cmdr. Cracken Posted April 14, 2001 Posted April 14, 2001 In Latin....... Morpheus m. [god of dreams]. coo.
Psycho Tycho Posted April 14, 2001 Posted April 14, 2001 Pretty cool. What does Neo mean in Latin? Trinity?
Admiral Odin Posted April 14, 2001 Posted April 14, 2001 I belive Neo means new, but the latin dictionary says that it means: neo : to spin, interweave. (to spin thread and yarn). ------------------ "Dulce bellum inexpertis." (Sweet is war to those who have never experinced it.) Roman Proverb
JR2000Z Posted April 14, 2001 Posted April 14, 2001 Trinity has do do something with 3. (EX: the Holy Trinity) Besides, its pretty obvoius that they use words for their names. I think Seifer is one of them.
Guest Zoom Rabbit Posted April 15, 2001 Posted April 15, 2001 Did anyone else catch the Buddhist philosophy interwoven in there?
Guest Zoom Rabbit Posted April 15, 2001 Posted April 15, 2001 In the story, I mean, not the names... 'There is no spoon.'

Guest AceAzzameen Posted April 15, 2001 Posted April 15, 2001 The whole "oracle" scenes are based on the Greek oracle at Delphi. Even the inscription, "know thyself," was engraved at the entrance to that sacred oracle. Very cool stuff, which we spent time talking about in Greek Mythology class this semester. ------------------ "With the blast shield down, I can't even see. How am I supposed to fight?"

Flying Beastie Posted April 16, 2001 Posted April 16, 2001 Not Latin, but Greek. In Greek mythology, Morpheus is the god of dreams (I think he's also the brother of Thanatos, the god of death, or Hades, god of the underworld, but i'm not sure). "Neo" does mean new, as the opposite of "paleo," meaning old. The first examples that come to mind are paleolithic (old stone age), and neolithic (new stone age). "Trinity" is a reference to the Three-in-One, which is a powerful mythological reference even outside of Christianity's Holy Trinity. I think the character of Trinity would prefer the association with the Irish Badb trio: Nema (goddess of madness), Macha (goddess of bloodlust), and Morrigan (goddess of courage). "Cipher" is a type of code, like shorthand, once used by sailors, though it can also refer to the code(s) used for secured military transmissions. In computerspeak, a cipher is like a password or a programming language, something that no one else "gets." ------------------ "Do fish-people eat fish, or would that be like humans eating monkeys?" "Humans do eat monkeys. In fact humans eat other humans. . . Y'know, as a species, we are really quite unpleasant."
