The former describing Zappa's profession, and the latter detailing the Proper Noun of a Greek Smithy. Since the Greeks are famous for the Olympics and, yet again, the motif of the smithing appears, it is no wonder that one of Zappa's techs would resemble an Olympic event.
- Thirdly, balls of iron is an adaptation of the colloquialism balls of steel, a phrase used to describe a male with indomitable bravery.
- Lastly, it is noteworthy to mention that in the "best ending of Chrono Trigger", Taban, father of Lucca, strikes the Sun Stone with a mallet to create fireworks for the Citizens at the Moonlight Parade. The animation for this scene in Chrono Trigger identically mirrors the animation of this tech.
