| In Response To: Marathon Symbol Theory (Jäger)
Well, I'm not particularly sure of the thematic and plot importance of that ever-present Marathon symbol, but I think it has its origins in a picture of Tycho Brahe, old-time astrono-philosopher. I forget where I saw it or the link (you might try an internet search, etc.,) but some drawings/paintings of the man show him with a curious neckchain....guess what symbol it features? It is the probable origin of the symbol (at least in design, if not storyline,) and after all, I don't have to tell you who Tycho is in the Marathon world.
