ok here goes:

  • Greek Mythology. The Elysian Fields.
  • A place or condition of ideal happiness.
  • Hence, any delightful place.
  • a heavenly place–preaceful and beautiful–where those who are favored by the gods can go when they die.
  • A dwelling place assigned to happy souls after death; the seat of future happiness; Paradise.

Jude Aakjaer and I chose the name because it basicly means ‘paradise’, and we thought it was cool :slight_smile:

p.s.
It’s spelled in probably more than 15 ways,… elysium and elysian are the most common, but elYsiun is what we used because the .com was still available :slight_smile:

cool! Didn’t know! I’ve wondered about this actually!

Cool, tnx. I think that there very few people how know that. Perhaps you (you great admins from elYsiun) should place an “alt=What_elYsiun_means” at your “bg_title2” or even a link to an explanation.

Haven’t you all seen the great movie “Gladiator”? :o In this movie are a lot of references to Elysium. It is mentioned at the beginning just before the battle in Germania starts. And at the end Maximus enters Elysium.

nice info to know :stuck_out_tongue:

The Elysiuns were some very interesting people. They didn’t fear death and so the Romans feared them. Worth reading up on if you’re not familiar.

the spelling threw me off, i didn’t know there were so many different spellings for that form of afterlife.

i was wondering that…thanks

11

it might be nice to change the background to a golden field or somthing

12

That doesn’t seems nesesary, Blenderartist is on it’s way right?

13

So elysiun and elysium are the same thing? I wondered about that. I hear and see elysium from time to time (I lived on elysium street for a short time) but didn’t know they were the same.

14

I thought it was illusion spelt in it’s own special way… It fits well, the illusion of computer generated graphics.

I think it would be cool to have a competition for a new elysiun background/header thingy.

16

I honestly looked up elysiun on a spanish tranlator, and spanish dictionary, before I saw this thread.

I got thrown off, because the logo looks like:

elYsiun

17

How in the world do you pronouce that?(elYsiun)

18

In English:
Either è-leejun (think French as in très) or
ee-leejun. As in legion but without the soft t-sound in the g.
