Yes, botha poet and a legend, the reference as a name is being pulled from the story of a knight who spends a year underground worshipping venus.
Makes a great poetical reference for a name that might be used in the future of some great location..the romantic insinuation being that this "gate" leads to the Venusberg... totally something I could see a scientist or artist referencing when naming some new place in space. Also makes sense from a writers standpoint, what with Baty being the poet of the film after all.
