According to popular belief, the game has a lot more to do with Greek Mythology than the developers are letting on.While it's not enough to get the masses going, it is enough to ponder the possibilities. Having said that, are Epic Games hinting at something, or are fans staring too intensely at a shallow pond? It's time to shed some light on the &quot;Greek Theory&quot;.creator@Zac7CGreek inspired temple #fortnite #greek #fortnitecreative4:59 AM · Mar 31, 2021484Greek inspired temple #fortnite #greek #fortnitecreative https://t.co/0R4nwYGQaOCould the map naming scheme for Fortnite mean anything?FancyNight@FancyNight3DIdk if people know, but all Fortnite islands are named after greek godsChapter 1 Athena: Goddess of Wisdom and warChapter 2 Apollo: God of archery, music, dance, truth, prophecy, healing and diseasesChapter 3 Artemis: Goddess of wild animals the hunt and the vegetation6:11 AM · Nov 21, 2021422Idk if people know, but all Fortnite islands are named after greek godsChapter 1 Athena: Goddess of Wisdom and warChapter 2 Apollo: God of archery, music, dance, truth, prophecy, healing and diseasesChapter 3 Artemis: Goddess of wild animals the hunt and the vegetationFortnite Chapter 3's map is called &quot;Artemis,&quot; named after the Greek Goddess of wild animals, the hunt and vegetation. She also happens to be the twin sister of Apollo, after whom the Chapter 2 map was named.Given that the Chapter 1 map was named after Athena, the naming scheme is far from random. However, what could this all mean? Is there a pattern, or are the developers using these names as codewords?Haunted@THLArt@ShiinaBR @FNBRUnreleased So far all 3 chapters’ maps are codenamed after the Olympian gods, and there are 12 Olympians in total. Could that possibly hint to that there only will be 12 chapters? Or maybe they’re just “random” codnames.

If this is the case, then a total of nine chapters remain for this saga to finally end. However, is there any truth to this matter? Will the game run for such a long time? Apparently, yes.Donald Mustard confirms that Fortnite's storyline will go on for years View this post on Instagram Instagram PostDuring Chapter 2 Season 7, Donald Mustard revealed in a video that Fortnite's storyline would go on for years. At the time, the timeline was unspecified. However, with the 12 Greek Gods theory coming into the equation, a time period can be speculated upon.If each chapter lasts two years, and there are nine more Gods after whom maps shall be named, the game's storyline could run for another 20 years or so. However, only time can tell if this holds true.What other Greek reference has Epic Games added to Fortnite?Aside from map codenames, a few popular characters in-game have also been added from Greek mythology. Two of the most popular are Demios and Midas.Deimos is the son of Ares and Aphrodite. His outfit was exclusive to subscribers of the Crew pack for the month of May.

In Greek Mythology, the Hyperboreans were mythical people. They lived in the far northern part of the known world. This ties in well with the storyline of the game and why the island is isolated.Jxdvn - Fortnite Creative ❄️@JxdvnBuildsCould this be what season 3 looks like?

Given that the storyline will revolve around the aftermath of Chapter 2, there is no room to add in anything else.Players can only expect more Greek-inspired skins like Kratos to be added in-game. While a POI or two may also be featured, players shouldn't expect an entire Chapter to be dedicated to the theme.
