Genshin Impact Theory - Blog Posts

Genshin and the greek gods

The siblings

I don't really know if this theory exists yet cuz I haven't really seen anywhere so I won't say that it's mine, but HEAR ME OUT-

This is probably going to be part 1 of the theory cuz it has a lot of information which I couldn't summarize in one blog.

Also my first language isn't english, so feel free to correct me if I'm not saying smth correctry.

So the whole theory is about connecting the genshin characters (and maybe even the lore) to the greek mythology.

LUMINE AS HEMERA

AETHER AS AETHER

According to Wikipedia, Aether and Hemera are brother and sister. They are the child of Nyx (night) and Erebus (darkness).

"Aether is the personification of the bright upper sky."

"Hemera is the personification of day."

Each of them represents something related to brightness and daylight. Kinda makes sense, right? If we pay attention to the lore, we can clearly connect Aether and Lumine to these. I mean even Lumines name means "light".

As conclusion, we can clearly tell, that the traveler siblings were inspired by Aether and Hemera.

This wasn't the end. In the next part, I'm going to write about Paimon and who I think she represents.

Thank u for reading<3

Spoily warning! 5.0 Natlan archon quest and also a bit Fontaine archon quest

So, when Capitano said "You heard something from here, didnt you?" everyone just kinda assumed he was talking to Olorun. But theres a trope of the protagonist having a dream about the villain discussing/inacting their evil plans and then the villain addresses the protag directly, seemingly aware of the protags presence. This theory is kinda half-baked but maybe its like when the Traveler dreamed of Childe in the primordial sea...

just a thought tho :p

“What use is the Gnosis in your hands?” “I don’t know what you mean, but it sounds like this is about more than the Tsaritsa.”

Everyone else: “Capitano has personal stakes in this?” “He is going against the Tsaritsa?” “What does he want?” etc etc

Me: Mavuika doesn’t know what a Gnosis is and/or doesn’t understand what they do?? Is she even the archon???

So I had a thought…

Visions are the results of strong ambitions. So what if delusions are twisted versions of ambitions? This would explain why they give the same power as a Vision would but with the risk of it backfiring. Only someone as delusional as the ambition contained within it would be able to harness its full power, like the Harbingers.

Here’s an example: Wanderer wanted to have a heart and become a true human. This was his pure ambition. But it was warped into a delusion in which he believed he was a god. When he realized his delusion wasn’t reality and he embraced his true ambition, he was awarded with a Vision.

Actually, that kinda reminds me of the crowned heir from the Gnostic Hymn. Dainsleif did say that coincidences don’t exist in Teyvat…

If Arlecchino killed everyone in the old House of the Hearth, and Freminet grew up there, shouldn’t he be dead? I don’t think he could’ve run away or escaped cuz Crucabena was the fourth Harbinger, she would’ve sent her soldiers after him. Did he get revived somehow? If so, why didn’t Clervie get revived instead?

So y’all mean to tell me that for the entirety of the Sumeru quest Kaveh was *reads crumpled notes* stuck in a bottle in the middle of a desert-

(Which does add up! With the fact that he had a project in the desert! He just never specified exactly what kind of project! Idk I was rather surprised to see this 😂)
