- One of the questions in the Pioneer Scout archer exam states that the ballista was invented thousands of years ago in Syracuse, a Greek town.[7] In the archeologist exam, the Greek ruins of Wilusa and Sicily are mentioned (Sicily is Italian but was back then settled by Greek colonists).[8] The exam also references the collapse of Bronze Age civilizations, also known as the Greek Dark Ages, was indicated by a lack of Greek writing.[8]

The natural cave water here is filtered through the cavern rock over centuries, and is pure enough to bathe a newborn child in! Cross the bridge to continue the tour.

Sofia Daguerre: "It's got to be connected to A.T.H.E.N.A. Both are from Greek mythology. Arachne was a weaver, and a brilliant one. She challenged the Goddess Athena somehow and... well, she was turned into a spider. You know, like Arachnids. Right? Some versions of the story say she won, others say Athena won. I don't remember the details... and does it matter? I don't know, either. I know it's a stretch, but it's the only connection I can think of."

She paused as she tried to remember who she was, struggling with the blackness that was her mind. 'Dark Mother,' she blurted at last. 'They called me the Dark Mother.' 'Did they, now? Well, I shall call you Hecate then. Do you mind?' 'Hecate...' 'Yes. Forgive me, I know you don't understand, but I find it amusing. You see, I am Diana and she was the goddess of the full, or bright moon. Hecate was her opposite, the goddess of the new, or dark moon. She was also known as the Dark Mother. So, I thought I would christen you Hecate.' "
