Those damn Ancient Greeks and their fascist rockets. /shakes fist

https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/Ariane

If your day is just starting, maybe you need a coffee. There's a distinct difference between Aryan (or Aryen in French) and Ariane (or Ariane in French).

Different words in different languages sounding the same is a wild launch to a crusade in 2025. Wait until you hear about Ariana Grande.. the most Grand of all the Aryans. I know the additional letters won't fool you.
