This seems to indicate to me that the real mysteries of the moon will be concerning the Vex, and Bungie threw us a misdirect by telling us all about the Fallen beforehand. Even the basic chassis forms of the Vex have Greek names (Minotaur, Harpy, Hobgoblin, etc). If you, like me, were surprised to see so many Vex in the latest Beyond Light trailer, these names are extra shocking because the Vex, since Destiny began, are always given Greek names (Atheon, Panoptes, Argos, etc). Whatever lies beyond Charon's Crossing, it won't be good.Īs you can see, 4/6 names on the Europa map are Greek. See more ideas about animal drawings, animal sketches, animal art. Lots of Asterions to choose from.Ĭharon's Crossing - obviously a reference to Charon, the ferryboat captain of the underworld who takes lost souls across the Styx into the underworld.

Also the name of a river god and a Giant. Also important, Cadmus Ridge is home to the Braytech Exoscience facility.Īsterion Abyss - Asterion is the name of the king Europa married, but also the given name of the Cretian Minotaur in some myths. Importantly, Cadmus was a brother to Europa, and has now become a popular reference to illicit experiments in fields like biochemistry.

in Greek mythology (Europa the moon is a moon of Jupiter, the Romanization of Zeus.) She gave birth to some sons and then married a king named Asterios or Asterion (we'll come back to that)Ĭadmus Ridge - Named after Cadmus, who created the Spartoi race in Greek mythology after sewing dragon's teeth into the earth. No, the real juicy stuff will be about the Vex (or at least that's my theory.)Įuropa - the planet itself, named for one of Zeus's many. At least, the secrets of Europa we're supposed to investigate aren't about Fallen, the Fallen under Eramis are just there for the same reasons we are. Now, let's talk about these locations and their names, because they tell us something important: Beyond Light is not about the Fallen. Bungie finally showed us the map of Europa! Check out the map first, then come back here.
