Maybe the whole thing is over within an hour? Then it would start with Big Ben's chime and end with the next.

Ginrei stand corrected :o LOL
Either way, it's a good start ^^

Meh, I only counted from when the translation of 744 hit.  Before that, who knew what the hell Gosho was trying to convey.

Those names have nothing to do with the Bible, but with mythology.  Greek, to be precise.

They're not related to the bible at all :P
They're Roman (Diana, Venus, Minerva and Apollo) or Greek (Ares) Gods.

Diana is the goddess of hunting, the moon and chastity
Venus is the goddess of love
Minerva is the goddess of wisdom
Apollo is the god of music, poetry, knowledge and lots of other stuff
Ares is the god of war.

Apollo is Roman?  Clearly I need to brush up on mythology.  I knew they weren't all Greek, but I didn't know which ones were and weren't.

Really, pretty much all of the Roman gods are the same as the Greek ones, just with different names. Venus is Aphrodite, Jupiter is Zeus, Pluto is Hades etc.

Well, the Greek god is called Apollon, it's an easy mistake to make. Unfortunately, I have no idea what these names might mean.

You mean Roman and Greek, if I remember correctly, Ares is Greek's god of war, Minerva is ROMAN's equivalent of Athena, and Apollo is Both Greek and Roman's god of light and sun

Ah, okay. That explains my confusion then.  But, either way, it's mythology versus the Bible.  How the book of Revelation ties into that, I have no idea.

They're not really related.

The Bible is something to do with the riddle, Greek and Roman mythology with the characters.

True.  However, they're not entirely unrelated, either.

Judeo-Christian mythology and Greek mythology is an odd mix. Maybe the murderer's a scholar.

I wouldn't call it an odd mix. They're probably the two mythologies Westerners know the most about.
