Tycho's symbolic significance
Posted By: Agent ShemDate: 7/18/02 7:04 a.m.

Well, everyone it seems know that Durandal's name is very significant to his place in the game. But what about Tycho?

As far as I've looked (the dictionary) ;^) Tyche is the goddess of luck. And there is a philosophy called tychism, which states that chance is an objective force in the universe (whatever that means).

Tycho is the greek word for luck.

Tycho is also a big hole on the moon, which was apparently big enough to amaze some astrologers, who named it in a dumb frenzy of shamaistic worship. (astrologers really like big things)

Anyway, I don't really how Tyche/luck/chance-is-objective/big-hole connect to Tycho in Marathon.

You guys wanna help me figure it out?
