I'm pretty sure that if you're so legendary that your name has become mundane in a distant future, you've succeeded more than anyone else.

And then there's motherfuckers like Caesar, who have an entire TITLE and a MONTH dedicated to them, on top of having literally millions of people and various cities named after them.

"Legendary" figures in real life have mundane names.

Bob the builder.

>>54813061
Yeah dude Heracles is mundane as shit and not at all three times as cool as any character in the Bible save possibly Samson.

>>54813452
Weren't the names of several of the big Greek Heros common as hell in Greece in that time period?

>>54813452
I see your point, I raise you Arthur and Alexander.

>Samson
Alright, let's get something straight: how though is an ass' jaw exactly? Let's be generous and assume we're dealing with guys who aren't wearing helmets, and that Samson is effectively wearing the Bronze Age equivalent of full plate: is it possible to kill multiple men in a row with an ass' jaw without it fracturing? Looking at one I can see why it could make for a useful improvised warclub, but wouldn't it's still bone. Wouldn't it fracture after having fractured a few skulls itself?

Thorne of Bloodstone had one. Fuck that saint. Told you you only needed Bahamut to erase the Wand of Orcus and then Bahamut kills you into also fucking going to hell after your ordeal to kill Tiamat to prep the wand for destruction using blood from her heart, lying faggot lizard, the fuck does that even work? Fucking piece of shit, fuck you and your dragonborn, my next PC willl be fucking Galanoth and I will cleave your entire species apart as a one man draconic-genocide and mount your fucking heads on my wall.

>>54813061
They have mundane names because we've made them mundane by naming loads of our children after them.

I mean, look at the meaning of Michael: "Who is like God?". Dude's name literally makes him a walking reminder that nobody measures up to the perfection of God.

>>54813452
Heracles was a special case. It wasn't his original name, and he was given it to try and placate Hera.

His birth name was Alcaeus, which was far more common. (Or Alcides, which is still used as a name today in some places.)

So yeah, you could have the 12 labours of Al.

I suspect that jawbone was meant to be spiritually enhanced at that moment when he was wielding it. When it describes his feats, generally the Bible says something like "the spirit of the lord came upon him and then he proceeded to smite" which to me implies that he's not actually super humanly strong all the time, he's a paladin who can invoke super strength when he needs to/imbue it in his weapon, at least until he falls.

>>54817484

>>54814694
>>54817421
The wording in NIV is "and the spirit of the Lord came upon him in power" right before he does some superhuman shit.
I've never liked superhuman strength characters shown as overly muscled, so I'd like to see an average fit guy of the time doing something super strong. Same with Superman, really

>>54814694
Bone is fucking tough. As a Spanish that had to hit someone with a ham bone, can attest that it would be VERY hard for a person to break it with its head.

>>54818256
For clarification, it was not a small bone, it is like the whole fucking leg, from the foot to the whole femur.

>>54809625
>the names of legendary heroes become mundane names

>>54816399
this is severely backwards, Joshua derives from Jeshua, not the other way around

First, bones are hard. Concrete tier hard. Jaw bones of something that have to eat grass whole it's life is probably hard as fuck.
Second, we talking a guy who plucked out city gates.

>>The etymology of Cerberus' name is uncertain. Ogden[135] refers to attempts to establish an Indo-European etymology as "not yet successful". It has been claimed to be related to the Sanskrit word सर्वरा sarvarā, used as an epithet of one of the dogs of Yama, from a Proto-Indo-European word *k̑érberos, meaning "spotted"

I read a book not so long ago called Starship Death and I swear the main character had that name. Did you read the same book OP or did the writer make a series?

Ned Longshanks, Hammer of the Scots and his great-grandson

Dickie the Lionheart.
And 8 King Hanks.


Men named Malcolm ruled the Scots.
Ollie C committed war crimes in Ireland.
Eric was the name of a number of bloodthirsty vikings.
Basil I was one of Byzantium's greatest emperors.
There have been 16 popes who chose to be called Greg.

You can do this all day long.
