Is Destiny Based on Ancient Mythology?

Throughout Destiny, there have been many references to ancient mythology such as the Ishtar Sink on Venus (Ishtar is a god in ancient Mesopotamian culture) and the Cabal phalanx (a reference to an ancient Greek battle formation). If you have any other evidence of this or theories of how this could tie into lore please tell me! Thanks and raid on!

    Yes. That being said.... Just because a connection to mythology is found does not mean it's the only connection to be found in that situation, nor does it mean no other situation can tie to that mythology, nor does it mean anything without further substantial evidence of actual in-game lore. And Ishtar is a place on Venus. Just like Tharsis is a place on Mars. Just like Oceans of Storm are a place on Luna. Just like Russia a place on Earth
