In Response To: Cortana as a sword. (Adam J. Piskel)

: Hi,

: I was wondering if there was any connection between Cortana, the AI, and
: Curtana, the pointless sword (symbolizing mercy) used in the coronation
: ceremonies of old English Kings?

: I know Durandal, from Marathon, is also the name of a sword. Are there other
: instances of AIs named for swords?

Cortana is one of three sister swords, along with Durandana (Durandal) and Joyeuse, all three forged from the same source of steel, and famous among various European legends.
