I have never played the old KQ games, only Tierras two fantastic remakes... and therefor I have some questions... Does the witch in KQ1 have a name, and is she related to Hagatha... and who is Hagathas sister "M" on the cage letter. And what are there relation to "The Father"??? Maybe stupid questions, but i would like to know!

The witch from KQ1 isn't relaited to Hagatha. Hagatha's BROTHER is Manaan (I don't know his spelling very wel), the wizard from KQ3. I don't really understand the relation to The Father.

Manannan. From KQ3. The witch from KQ1 wasnt first thought of in Sierra's studios <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /smile.gif ALT=":)"> . She, like many other characters from KQ1 and two, is taken from a fairy tale. That witch is from (sp!) Hancel and Gratel (sp!).

Yes, I know. In Denmark, they are known as "Hans og Grete"... The KQ1 witch could have been related to Hagatha... U know, Little Red Riding Hood is related to the vampire, and Rumplestlitskin is related to the bridge troll... Does Hagatha and Manannan have other relatives... it is a bit interesting...

Mordack, the villain of KQ5, is also their brother.

Hans og Grete you say? Well that sounds like in the original, but in hebrew the names are totaly different: Ami VeTami <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /smile.gif ALT=":)">

That sounds like a magik spell or something... <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/grin.gif ALT=" >D">

Vildern · #8 Post by **Vildern** » Fri Dec 27, 2002 8:44 pm

Maybe it does. Well, Hebrew is the language of magic <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /smile.gif ALT=":)"> For example: Did you know that in ancient Hebrew The spell from Disney: 'Abra Kadabra' means in old-old Hebrew : 'Create a thing' (in translation), in modern Hebrew its abit-bit different, like: 'Bra Davar', instead of 'Abra Kadabra'.

Sunray Jahh · #9 Post by **Sunray Jahh** » Fri Dec 27, 2002 8:59 pm

The Danish words for "create a thing" is "lav en ting"... That's not very magic, as it also means that you have to poo! <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... rassed.gif ALT=":o">

Now I remember! Dahlia! King Edward saved her, and then married. But on next day Dahlia robbed the castle (took the magic chest) and then transformed into witch. And what is witch's name in KQ5?

The hag in the dark forest doesn't have a name. <img src="http://httpd.chello.nl/c.vanempel/Nasht ...

The story of Dahlia and Edward can be read in the HTML manual that comes with KQ1VGA. It's copied word for word from the original KQ1 manual.

Storm · #13 Post by **Storm** » Thu Jan 02, 2003 7:06 am

The witch Dahlia in KQ1 suffers from lack of motivation - did she steal the chest to give it to the giant? is she just the witch from Hansel & Gretel, looking for a snack? Also the witch in KQ5 - every kq has a witch... (well, every kq with Graham in it) <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... tongue.gif ALT=":p">

Vildern · #14 Post by **Vildern** » Thu Jan 02, 2003 10:47 pm

Hammm...KQ7 and KQVIII (swamp region) both contain a witch also, and KQ4 (3 witches inside that cave). Better said: Every king's quest, without Alex. playing in it, has a witch. I mean all KQs have a witch, apart from KQ3 and KQ6 <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /smile.gif ALT=":)"> If I'm not mistaken...

Storm · #15 Post by **Storm** » Wed Jan 08, 2003 12:51 pm

Kq7 & kq4 had a witch? Malicia & Lolote are evil fairies, not witches. As for the 3 hags in the KQ4 - they're gorgons, aren't they? you know, Medusa's sisters from the greek mythology, who shared one eye and one tooth <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /happy.gif ALT=":D">

#16 Post by **Erpy** » Wed Jan 08, 2003 2:09 pm

No, gorgons were creatures like Medusa with snakey hair and a petrifying gaze. I don't remember the actual name right now, but the three sisters with one eye only pointed the location of the gorgons to Perseus. (after he stole their eye to make them cooperate) <img src="http://httpd.chello.nl/c.vanempel/Nasht ...

Those are the Moirae, or Grey Sisters.

Storm · #18 Post by **Storm** » Thu Jan 09, 2003 5:49 am

Erpy - "Graeae (GREE-ee) (or Gray sisters) Two (or three) sisters, variously described as hags or swan-like from birth. In any case, they had but one eye and one tooth in common. " - From The Encyclopedia of Greek Mythology And just for fun, the whole story of it: <a href="http://www.mythweb.com/encyc/entries/pe ...  Kijyata - The Moirae are the three fates, and that's KQ7.

Kijyata · #19 Post by **Kijyata** » Thu Jan 09, 2003 8:20 am

I typed Graeae at first and then thought no, isn't that just the Roman/Latin name for them? Guess I misremembered... (I knew it wasn't Erinyes, that's the Furies.)

those gorgon are also known as the Grey Sister's!<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /happy.gif ALT=":D"> THE GRAEAE - The Grey Sisters, three old Goddesses who lived in the north. They had only one eye and one tooth. When Perseus traveled north to kill Medusa, he needed guidance from the Grey Sisters; but knowing that they would not reveal any information willingly (the Gorgons were their relatives after all), he stole their only eye and gave it back only after they gave him directions. except i don't like how they capture rosella, that is if she gets captured, i look like there hugging her or something, wierd?<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... rassed.gif ALT=":o">

but whats more populare, intreting, mysterous, and cool is the in Minitour, MINOTAUR - An evil monster, half-bull, half-man. Minos, king of Crete, held the minotaur in a great labyrinth where he would throw in Athenian prisoners to feed the beast. Theseus, the famous hero, managed to find his way in the labyrinth and killed the minotaur with the help of princess Ariadne, who gave him a ball of thread to find his way in and out of the labyrinth. but the first part of his name, makes him sound little, why don't they call him the Bigutour? they say he's a giant!<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... rassed.gif ALT=":o">

Wolfgang Abenteuer · #24 Post by **Wolfgang Abenteuer** » Sat Jun 14, 2003 5:09 am

I believe that he's called the Minotaur because Theseus was taken to that island my Minos. Taur is of latin origin meaning "bull" (taureau is French for "bull", toro is Spanish) and I believe that taurus is Greek...feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, anyone! <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... tongue.gif ALT=":p"> Thus the Minotaur is the bull from Minos. Then again, I may be way off base and Minotaur means something else in Greek, so again feel free to correct me here, guys! ~Wolfgang Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub57.ezboard.com/broyalquestfor ... s>Wolfgang Abenteuer</A> at: 6/14/03 12:10 am

No, the actual reason he's called the minotaur is something else, which may be a tad disturbing. (but also an example of why Greek mythology is so darn fun to read) As you may know, Minos was the king of Crete. At one time, he asked the gods to allow him to show them his devotion. He asked for a bull which he would, in turn, sacrifice to them again. (pretty weird, but appearantly the gods didn't think so) Anyway, that came to pass and a magnificent bull came out of the sea for Minos to conduct the sacrificial ceremony on. He was, however, too much in awe for the beautiful animal to let it go like that and decided to sacrifice an ordinary bull while keeping the special one for himself. The gods were a tad angry at that act and punished him in a rather creative way. They made Minos' wife fall in love with the bull. The Minotaur (tauros of Minos = bull of Minos) was the child of Minos' wife and the sacred bull. Since the Minotaur was a man-eating monster, Minos had a labyrinth built for it. <img src="http://httpd.chello.nl/c.vanempel/Nashh ...
