What’s the origin of Grayson Allen’s new nickname: Atreus?



I’ve seen this nickname mentioned a couple of gaem threads already, and I wanted to ask about its origin.

Also, why not use the term “Atreides”, which seems more relevant:

1. The term [Atreides](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atreus#Atreides): Commonly used to translate both the singular and plural form to English. The term can also be used for the more distant descendants of Atreus.

2. The House Atreides, from Dune: House Atreides was one of the two most dominant royal houses in Dune lore, and they would dominate anyone on air combat. Which fits Allen’s game perfectly.

  1. I presume it’s in relation to God of War but I’ve haven’t seen anyone call grayson that? Did it just start today?
