xNamexTakenx Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I was reading up on Ares, the Greek god of war, and I found out that he had a son and daughter with Aphrodite, named Deimos and Phobos. That's cool! There's 2 cars in this game with the same name! They were the spirits of terror and fear. I found this very interesting. Don't you?

Ur-Grue Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 i don't want to comment. you didn't know that? wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xNamexTakenx Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 No, surprisingly. I'm a big fan of Greek mythology, but I did not know that! How did you find out? I played LCS, and I'm like, "What's with the weird names?" I like the cars, though. They're real nice sporty cars. My favourite Greek god has to be Ares, though! Followed up closely by Hades. But, I'm glad that decided to add some Greek Mythology in GTA lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Night Fox Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 And what's with the "f*ck you"? let's not turn this ito an argument getting on topic, The Phobos and Deimos SP are both really fas tand cool vehicles, The V8 Ghost is also pretty cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taste Of Chaos Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 There also the moons you play on in Doom 95..... Ontopic: Never heard of the phobos car . Opportunity knocks once in a lifetime, temptation will lean on the doorbell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know that. It's so weird to know that Greek and Roman Mythology are related to space and stuff. Because, in Roman Mythology, Ares is known as Mars! So, that's cool, man.

Rashon. Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 I had no idea of this. Though, I wonder why Rockstar added the SP to the Deimos and VT to te Phobos. Probably to make it more unique or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creeepers Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 They're asteroids. its already said,they thought they were asteroids but they were moons of mars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickstick Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 They're asteroids. If they're asteroids, then why was the page titled "MOONS of Mars? A moon is any natural satellite that is in orbit around a planet. So while the two moons were originally asteroids, they are now moons seeing as they're in orbit around Mars.

It's OK not to have the knowledge, but don't pretend to know what your talking about when you have zero clue. The moons of Mars have been known about for over 200 years.

My statement wasn't a personal attack, more a general observation. My point was that people shouldn't post without the knowledge to back it up. Too many know-it-alls without the know-how. Anyway, back OT. Both cars are awesome, just wish they would spawn more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommy69 Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 That's interesting. maybe the deimos sp is a 'terror' because it is a great sportscar that gives the infernus and cheetah "a run for their money" and phobos vt is 'fear' because it has great looks, appeal and supposed to be a stuntcar.

BixDugan Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Now I hate R* for making me learn something! LOL. There were quite a few video game references on that wiki entry. But someone needs to add the 2 cars from LCS. GTA representin'! More instances of greek/roman mythology in GTA? I can think of one in VCS. The Clymenus Suite. Clymenus is another mythical figure. I forget the details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Tango Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 More instances of greek/roman mythology in GTA? I can think of one in VCS. The Clymenus Suite. Clymenus is another mythical figure. I forget the details. Clymenus is the Latin (Roman) version of the Greek, Klymenos, which means "Notorious". Clymenus as a name can refer to many different people in Greek and Roman mythology. The name has been used to refer to; Eurydite's father, an alternate name for Hades, a suitor of Penelope (the wife of Odysseus), the son of Presbon and a King of Orchomedos, and many others. I would go on, but this is a video game forum, not Mythololgy 101. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discovery97 Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 I'm homeschooled and I read a book (I read the whole book when i was only supposed to do one chapter a time) called THERAS AND HIS TOWN about in greece. Anyways that is pretty surprising when it comes to GTA LCS I never knew that (being a history lover myself) before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stefan. Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 That's real great, I knew that; I realised it earlier this year in my Latin class, and I thought: "Hey, they're cars in LCS!" Nice find though. Great to see intelligent minds on the Forums, for once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
