In Response To: Track hints at story? (BS Halo rks)

You could well be right, I hope! Just one niggling error, the "greeks" who held the pass were acutally Spartans.

I suspect if you were to call them Greeks at the time, they would have been somewhat miffed.

: The Track: "Thermopylae Soon"

: The two suspected parallels: The Battle of Thermopylae, 480 B.C. / The second
: defense of Earth, 2552 A.D.(right?).

: In the battle of Thermopylae, as many may know, a few hundred Greek Soldiers
: guarding a narrow isthumus, which was, as the time, the gateway to Greece,
: held off a few thousand Persian invaders.

: In the second defense of Earth, it might be "Thermopylae soon" as a
: small bunch of defenders can hold off a giant covenant invading force, at
: the moon, in Earth's orbit, or at earth to keep them from reaching...
: wait, isn't Earth the greatest prize that the covenant can get from
: humanity? Maybe not. I think that if the track hints at the story, then
: Earth might be a Thermopylae, and there is a bigger prize that the
: covenant can get from humanity.

: I know that was kind of awkward. Let me know what you guys think.
