Is there any special symbolism to the MSND character's names? (unsigned comment by MathInClined, 2 August 2011)
Certainly. As a start, both Demetrius and Lysander were famous Greek commanders-in-chief, in antiquity. Though I don't believe the MSND borrowed anything other than their names there, to make them "greek characters", just like the names Adolf or Gretchen are used today to make clear that characters are "german". --Enyavar (talk) 21:29, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
