... Well, well, well.
Most definitely Cyrene, who was the ζζΆ Xilian last week.
The source of Cyrene is a minor god, Cyrene, who was a lover of Apollo and a city in Libya. Cyrene is also the namesake of a school of hedonists, the Cyrenaics.
In this case, I suspect it's a mask for to hide the true name, Selene, the Titan moon goddess, also known as Mene. There was a leak that . . . . . . . . . March's name was Celimene, which was from the Misanthrope and could mean Heavenly Moon/Strength. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
So yeah she's highly likely to be March's past life, and Amphoreas is Elysian Realm 2.0, as in they're dead all along. MC is probably playing the same role as Genshin MC and Mei in Elysian Realm, as someone to remember their names.
3 Titans carved the heaven and earth. Im gonna have to look up the symbols later, but the 3rd one looks a bit like Libra.
3 wove the threads of fate.
3 molded life with their hands.
3 guides Calamity's Gate.
This sounds very much like the events of HI3, Izumo, and Genshin. In the context of HSR, the corruption factor is probably Nihility or Finality, what's with the eye (Ena) as the sun and all. This is probably one of the worlds protected by Ena before they died.
The sun moon symbol is same as the book in Mem's hand, so the story we're about to be is a story stored in the memories of Mem (presumably March/Cyrene).
Very strong Nanook vibe. But could be the hand of the original Prometheus as well. Maybeeee the 3 paths Amphoreas is caught between are Nihility, Destruction, and Finality (or TB).
Major Gold/Remus vibe. In HI3, Gold is Eden, but Aglaea doesnt look much like Eden.... Reminds me more of Einstein/Albedo/Gold. https://x.com/synonyms26/statu...
This one should be Tribbie, the three-faced messenger.
Su expy, Anaxa. But he's sitting under a tree and lost an eye and associated with stars, so kinda like Su and Dainsleif's lovechilde in design. Math-themed character (clipboard on the left). Should also be an Odin ref. Also, he has a command spell Fate-style on his hand.
Anaxa is Anazagoras, math guy and brought Nous. The clipboard is prob a ref to Squaring the Circle.
Very cool guy who got exiled.
Priest who severs dawn from dusk. Gonna google tmr.
Mydeimos, Deimos or Myiodes. Deimos is son of Ares and Aphrodite. Myoides is Heracles or Zeus. Either would fit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
The only thing I got from Kremnos was precipice or over hanging wall or bank, and an extinct bivalve. π Gonna go to sleep. Search more tmr.
Got it. Tribbie is Trivia, aka Hecate, the 3-faced goddess of crossroads, witchcrafts, and moon.
I figured out Hyacine. Her obv namesake is Hyacinthus, the Apollo's male lover who died and became a flower. However, the text itself doesn't describe Hyacinthus but Virgo/Astraea.
The priestess that severes dawn from dusk is the planet Venus, which can be seen during dawn and dusk. In Greek myth, Venus is not only associated with Aphro but also with Astraea, the daughter of Eos dawn and Astraeus star. Astraea is identified with the constellation Virgo
and is stated to return to earth one day, bringing back the golden age of Utopia. Hence, the sky becomes the slumbering cot from which she wakes. Astraea is also associated with Renaissance era aethestics of purity and innocence. Hence, the design.
It's also looking pretty sus that there are quite a few zodiac themed characters in the cast (Castor Gemini, Mydeimos Leo, that 1 Libra-ish symbol, and now Astraea Virgo). I'll prob have to look into this more later on....
Ok, Mydeimos is actually δΈζ (myriad of enemies) in CN. This is the guy originally translated as Polystratus in leak, which does check out. So Mydeimos and Polystratus here both are probably stand-in for Heracles.
Cipher/Cifera is Pardofelis expy. The official name is Cipher/Cifera, but the description of her power itself is about setting time in motion. So probably Kairos/Caerus. Pardo in HI3 Reverie. Also, she might be mixed with Bastet/Artemis as well, for the cat theme.
Castorice, the servant of the Hands of Shadows. Her name is a ref to Castor, from Castor and Pollux (Gemini), but her real power is probably Styx, one of the rivers of hell, and the river the gods sworn by. Achilles was dipped into the river Styx to gain https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
immortality. However, his mom, Thetis, forgot to dip his Achilles' heel, so that became his fatal weakness. For Castor and Pollux, they're fraternal twins. Usually, Castor is immortal, and Pollux is mortal. Pollux died, and Castor gave half of his immortality to Pollux.
As a result, the twins travel from Hades to Olympus alternatively. This means that there's a Pollux in the Amphoreas cast, and he/she is probably in Olympus. Might be Phainon or 1 of the 2 last people.
Hysilens, presumably. Looking up Hysilens in English yields nothing, ζ΅·ηι³ is sea + Se (a type of musical instrument) + sound. So Hysilens is probably Sea Siren, a siren literally, or someone related to Oceanus, Poiseidon, or Scylla/Charybdis. Probably Eden expy (Songstress).
