Hi!
As is usually the case when a person is bored, I had a sudden revelation: Swain's first name is Jericho, and his ship that Gangplank stole was called the Leviathan.
I'm not here to bring religion to the table, but I was curious if there was any motivation or reasoning behind these two rather biblical references. Thanks!
Arakadia2 votesThat is interesting. If the pattern repeats there could be a reason but I doubt it.
Marshbouy1 votesLeviathan is a sea monster. Why not name a ship after a sea monster? I'm sure it doesn't have much to do with it being in the bible. dunno about jericho
Swainey Todd1 votesYes, it is a sea monster. But the story of Leviathan was from the Old Testament. And Jericho is an ancient city in Palestine.
GreenLore1 votesIt seems more likely to me that they just named it after a badass sea monster,not as a reference to the bible.
Swainey Todd1 votesTrue, they'd probably have to steer clear of that since some people would get offended, but it was something I noticed in passing and thought was interesting. We'll have to see!
GreenLore1 votesHonestly,I doubt that anyone would be offended by that. The Leviathan has become a staple in fantasy-settings and even most christians don't believe in him anymore.
Swainey Todd1 votesTrue, but you never know. Religion is one of those iffy subjects that not many talk about unless they want sparks to fly!
This is true, but it's still a head scratcher to me a bit!
