Quite simply, I cannot see such a great and critical plot point being so heavily influenced by a source that has only been used conparatively minorly in other areas of the show.

1. I believe Silver being used in such a way predates the Greeks even. Although I cannot gurantee that.

2. I'm familiar with the video but I won't watch it again right now.

Even if such a power were fleshed out I feel it would still be criticised. Jaune having above average aura and just coincedentally also having a SEW-esque power of his own in addition to Ruby would just seem... I dunno, like poor writing perhaps. There are other ways Jaune can have an impact other than having a new superpower. Maybe he holds off Salem with his semblance which is an incredibly strong shield or something, I dunno.

I think it is just symbolic. Either of Summer probably or Remnant itself. Showing that as time passes humans grow more and more broken apart from each other. Just for them join back together over time as well. Just as the Silver eyes represent the opposite to Grimm, so does the Moon represent the opposite to Salem, the passing of time which shatters and repairs all...

Nah I'm just talking out of my ass. But still, I don't think the Moon forshadows Ruby's death or is directly affected by the events on Remnant. Maybe but I can see it happening. However it is a theory so it could easily go in a different direction.

1. There really wern't too many advanced civilizations before the Greeks. The Babalonians and the Sumerians are the only ones that come to mind but I don't think either of them had silver at the same signifigance as the Greeks.

2. Just wondering. Didn't know if you saw that.

I think ven if my theory about Jaune as the herois wrong I still think my Silver Eyed theorising is correct and the moon will almost definatly be explained and appear in the final battle or Salem's plan.
