[Kleitias]

Just a thought... 19 could be Tisiphone or Tilphousia one of the 3 furies and noted for vengeful destruction.

The riddle says 'women', though, not 'woman'.

 

[Han_Zen]

Given the answer the German line yields, I am quite convinced. Still, I am very surprised that the English version hasn't been corrected so far...

That probably means 19 = Furiae.

It's Erinyes, Erinys, Furies, Furiae or somthing.

Those are the women. And in game match is needed though.

 

[Emperor]

True.
Given that all other confirmed answers so far are either (transliterated) Greek or Latin, I think (Latin) 'Furiae' is more probable than (English) 'Furies'.

And have you searched for that system in game?

I know Erebus is there...

Is there a collection of information regarding this new hamster message with any decoding done so far?

 

[HazardousMatt]

I'm just throwing this out there for the fun.
Who is the mother of the mother of the first grandchild of the “Demon of Screamin’”?
Beverle Lorence “Bebe” Buell

You and Han Zen are right, we need an ingame match. According to another ancient Roman writer, the Furiae were also called Dirae, but I could not find that in the Galaxy Map either.

Edit: Actually, given that Bellerophon (confirmed) is ingame (name of a capital ship) but not findable in the Galaxy Map, 'Furiae' could be another ship name and thus the correct answer.

 

[HazardousMatt]

Or wouldn't the Mother of the Mother of = Earth?

 

[Saool]

I wonder, could Salome have already hidden information 'effectively in plane sight'? EG somewhere that might be discounted as it would seem too obvious, eh Prism?

 

[eadghe]

Just a thought... 19 could be Tisiphone or Tilphousia one of the 3 furies and noted for vengeful destruction.

Could be right, Tisiphone was the vengeful of the 3...

 

[Earthman]

The riddle says 'women', though, not 'woman'.

It does indeed

 

[BluWolve]

Could be right, Tisiphone was the vengeful of the 3...

What about as an alternative to Furiaes could it be Poinai?

"POINE (Poena) was the personififed spirit (daimona) of retribution, vengeance, recompense, punishment and penalty for the crime of murder and manslaughter. The word poinê also referred to the bloodmoney paid to the victim's family to expiation the crime of murder. She was sometimes pluralized into multiple Poinai (Poenae)."

Could be. But then again, it does not yield anything in the Galaxy Map.
As I pointed out above, though, just in the case of Furiae/Furies, this is no reason to assume that it is not the correct answer since Bellerophon was confirmed but is not findable in the Galaxy Map either (it is the name of a capital ship).

Certainly Greek, vengeful and female

19. Women of vengeance infernal

I have this...

Erinyes also known as the Furies, were female deities of vengeance; they were sometimes referred to as "infernal goddesses", The Erinyes live in Erebus (in game system)

Plural, dieties of vengence reference to infernal and live in a system referenced in game....Not saying this is right but just a suggestion which appears to match the clue....


Others have...

Moirai (god of fate?) - no ref in galaxy map
Erinyes, Erinys, Furies & Furiae - no ref in galaxy map (although same thought lines I started out with)
Tisiphone - no ref in galaxy map
Tilphousia - no ref in galaxy map
POINE - no ref in galaxy map
Poena - no ref in galaxy map
daimona - no ref in galaxy map


Are there any other in game references to these that anyone knows of?

 

[eadghe]

The Erinyes live in Erebus, which is a system in game.

Edit: ninjaed by Emperor

 

[Kleitias]

Certainly Greek, vengeful and female

According to the German version of the riddle, which, surprisingly, seems to be more accurate in a number of points, we are looking for the "rasenden Rachegöttinnen Roms" - which means we need Roman/Latin versions (in the case of Poinai: Poenae; in case of the Erinyes: Furiae [or Furies in English]).

 

[CmdrMarrus]

What about Demeter (was worshipped under the name Erinys in some Greek towns) or Ceres (the Roman equivalent)? I know the clue seems to indicate more than one vengeful woman but both yield results in the Galaxy Map.

 

[BonOreo]

Can we add Arai to the list of contenders for 19?
