A Cool Thing.

Alright, so we all know that the Cabal are named after various ancient greek and roman things such as: Phalanx: Alexander the Great's famous battle formation. Also a invincible shield space turtle. Legionary: The main unit of Julius Caesar's army. Centurion: The leader of a cohort or a century of 80 men. Primus: The chief centurion of the legion or the commander of the first century within that legion. Valus: Idk, Google said nothing there. But then I found this weird thing.....Lysander. Lysander was a Spartan leader who defeated the Athenian fleet during the Ionian war. Lysander's cry is a sparrow. Lysander is the leader of the....green faction that was defeated by new monarchy. I forget the name. Their symbol is a fist. The Cabal are very strong(like a punching fist) and are also named after ancient greek and roman military units. Are the two related? I realize now that this is a kinda weird idea, but hand me the feedback. EDIT: Oh hey trending. giv meh lieks [spoiler]I am the REEEE. Worship REEEEEE.[/spoiler]

  • Pretty cool. It's amazing how many names in destiny pop up elsewhere, or more to the point how many places, people and things in history pop up in destiny. Sometimes I've not heard of something until I hear it in destiny and then months could pass and I could be watching a documentary or something and then bam! There it is. That's where it came from.
