Subject: Greek relations in Halo

Seriously, halo has mostly been about greek history so far. For example:

[color=white]-Mjolner Armor-[/color] Mjolner was the greek god Thor's hammer, form greek mythology.

[color=white]-Will of the Gods...-[/color] The greeks are polytheistic.

[color=white]-Spartan-[/color] Spartans were greeks from the greek city-state who were very strong and amazing warriors and athletes.

The Ancient Greeks Spartans took their young at the age of six and taught them in the art of war. They made an unstopable army. In halo, the SPARTAN project was when they took 6 year olds and made an unstopable army out of them by training them in the art of war, and genetically enhancing them.

there are more, but i forgot them.

But why would they all of the sudden shift from a greek based game to an egyptian or a christain based game. I'm sure ill find some more information.

Me: "OMFG, Dude... wtf!"
AbolitionofMan: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to betray you."
Me: "That's the 4th time in this game alone!"
Chris: "Third, besides he had the flag I was trying to stop him, how was I supposed to know you were there."
Me: "I said, 'I got the Flag, don't shoot.'"
Chris: "Well those Wraith shots take a while to reach you."
Me: "You were right next to me, I had killed him and a minute passed before you decided to shoot."
Chris: "Hahahahaha, yeah... that was great."

Wrong, Thor is Norse Mythology.

[color=white]-Will of the Gods...-[/color] The greeks are polytheistic.

As was every other major civilization of the past save the Jews, followed by the Christians and then the Muslims.

Well they are using all forms of reference, not just Greek, but Norse, Christian etc. It adds to the story and makes it harder on us to decipher. =)

Spartans more specifically were young males in sparta that were takin into the spartan army around age 7 then trained for combat in harsh conditions, without the proper clothing. They couldn't get married till 30 something, and couldnt leave the army till around 20, or something like that. Yea, they got spartans from the Greek spartans.

***Humans with near perfect DNA with natural stunning intellect and physical attributes were kidnapped at the ages of "5-7" and replaced with flash clones that soon died to cover up the kidnappings.

They we're brought to Reach where they endured the most "vigorous training" exercises.***
