* The start of ''Eternal'' has Marcus and Hathor departing K'lia exactly 111 years after the start of ''Marathon''. This was probably always intended as a reference to Bilbo Baggins' 111st birthday party at the start of ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'', but in any case, Hathor [[https://youtu.be/C5R5VCKIE6M?t=211 says "eleventy-one" in her introductory terminal]] in version 1.3, which makes the shout-out even clearer.

** Durandal's response to Tycho is simply, "Et tu, Tycho?" which means "And you, Tycho?" or "Even you, Tycho?", which is frequently used as an expression of betrayal (although in this case, Durandal's laughter afterwards suggests he is doing so mockingly) as a ShoutOut to Creator/WilliamShakespeare's ''Theatre/JuliusCaesar'', in which "Et tū, Brūte?—Then fall, Cæsar" are the titular character's FamousLastWords. Historical sources dispute whether Caesar actually said this or anything even remotely like it; Suetonius mentions a similar quote in Greek, "Καὶ σύ, τέκνον?" ("And you, child?") merely as a rumour, while Plutarch maintains that he said nothing, but merely pulled his toga over his head when he noticed Brutus among the conspirators. The Greek quote is sometimes also rendered in Latin as "Tu quoque, fili mi?", which is a more direct rendering of the Greek into Latin. The Romans used Greek as a marker of their education much as Latin is used in English-speaking countries today, so Shakespeare is simply employing KeepItForeign by rendering some of Caesar's dying words in Latin.

* The games contain several references to Matt Wagner's ''ComicBook/{{Grendel}}'' series of comics. Tfear makes multiple references to a location of the command structure called "Gr'ndl Prime"; the comics feature a dictator named Grendel-Prime (a {{cyborg}}, we might note) who is eventually overthrown by his son (hence "Son of Grendel", perhaps). A very early beta of the game from January 1994 also featured the phrase "Grendel Lives", alongside Wagner's "Grendel" logo.

--> "I am Arthur Frayn, and I am Zardoz. I have lived three hundred years and I long to die, but death is no longer possible. I am immortal. I present now my story, full of mystery and intrigue, rich in irony and most satirical. It is set deep in a possible future, so none of these events have yet occurred. But they may. Be warned, lest you end as I. In this tale, I am a fake god by occupation and a magician by inclination. Merlin was my hero. I am the puppet master. I manipulate many of the characters and events you will see. But I'm invented, too, for your entertainment and amusement. And you, poor creatures, who conjured you out of the clay? Is God in show business, too?"

--> "In this film Frane creates the realities that many characters within the film experience. At the same time Frane is part of a reality that Boorman has created for the viewer to experience. Frane asks the question of whether Boorman and we viewers are not part of a reality for some other being to experience. Here we raise the question of multiple realities... Each of these realities have rules, practices, or protocols that must be followed. These rituals must be followed or the individual can no longer remain a member of that society, that culture, or that reality."

:: This sonnet is one of those addressed to the "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Lady_(Shakespeare) Dark Lady]]". Interestingly, the hexadecimal codes before each line in the terminal formatting identify the sonnet number (83 = 131 in hexadecimal), followed by the line number (though due to the limited space in a Marathon terminal, each line is broken up into two lines, so the lines are numbered from 01 to 1C, or 28 in hexadecimal, rather than the traditional fourteen lines of a sonnet).

* Beyond the shout-outs mentioned above, there are two passages quoted verbatim from Creator/WilliamShakespeare in ''Marathon Infinity''. In "Poor Yorick", the terminal that leads to the secret level "Two for the Price of One" features Shakespeare's Sonnet No. 131 in full:
--> Thou art as tyrannous, so as thou art,\\
As those whose beauties proudly make them cruel;\\
For well thou know'st to my dear doting heart\\
Thou art the fairest and most precious jewel,\\
Yet, in good faith, some say that thee behold,\\
Thy face hath not the power to make love groan:\\
To say they err, I dare not be so bold,\\
Although I swear it to myself alone,\\
And, to be sure that not false I swear,\\
A thousand groans, but thinking on thy face,\\
One on another's neck, do witness bear\\
Thy black is fairest my judgment's place.\\
In nothing art thou black, save in thy deeds,\\
And thence this slander, as I think, proceeds.\\
:: This sonnet is one of those addressed to the "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Lady_(Shakespeare) Dark Lady]]".
* The terminal in "Two for the Price of One" quotes a soliloquy by the character Dromio of Ephesus from ''Theatre/TheComedyOfErrors''. The logon and logoff identify the provenance of the soliloquy: "ws.com.o.errors" in the logon stands for "William Shakespeare Comedy of Errors", and the logoff "activ.scniv" stands for "Act IV, Scene IV".
--> I am an ass indeed: you may prove it by my long ears. I have served him from the hour of my nativity to this instant, and have nothing at this hands for my service but blows: when I am cold he heats me with beating, when I am warm he cools me with beating. I am waked with it when I sleep; raised with it when I sit; driven out of doors with it when I go from home; welcomed home with it when I return: nay, I bear it on my shoulders as a beggar wont her brat; and I think, when he hath lamed me, I shall beg it from door to door.
