A Bungie-released "''Castaway''" Poem lead to the discovery of the book "''The Castaway Theory''" on Amazon... A peculiar comment spoke of the text's referencing of the "''Song of Roland''", The Song of Roland is the story of a French soldier who carry's the mythical sword Durandal. The Quote '''"''My name is Cortana, of the same steel and temper as Joyeuse and Durendal.''"''' from the story has popped for from time to time in relation to Halo and can be traced back as far as the [[Cortana Letters]] before Halo was announced at MacWorld 99.
