Help
i've just realized that there is greek names and myths mixed up with cythera. e.g Melgear 2 The first one was a leader in Alexander's army and the second one was a beserker.

Indeed, even the game is named after a Greek island.

Sounds fine to me. I can't imagine Ambrosia being called anything else, in fact.
And the winner of the text only entry goes to CrazyChick for "Watch for B&B on bridge." Encountering the B&B anywhere is dangerous enough. Throwing a bridge into the recipe is an equation for disaster. - Ragashingo

Actually, the naming of the game and the company is completely coincidental. The game was independently developed by gandreas, and since the Greek-ness of the game is so fundamental to its character, I can only assume that it was developed as such long before he ever approached Ambrosia about selling it.

Indeed, Cythera draws heavily off of such things.
I seem to recall that someone also speculated on a Roman influence a while back...?

I've speculated a smidgeon of Germanic. I don't know about any Roman influences, though, except insofar as it is the case that many Greek references has been transmitted to English through Latin.
I suppose there's some of Paracelsus in Cythera, too, which is comparatively much more recent.
