I wanted to ask you something. Which is... what's your name? This article title is conjecture. Although the article subject is canon, no official name for it has been given. |
Perseus' Sword of Eden was a Sword of Eden used by Perseus to slay Medusa[1], after she had been transformed into the Writhing Dread by an Atlantis artifact later named after her the Prize of the Medusa.[2]
History
Over the years multiple weapons would be purported to be the one used by Perseus. A sickle called Hermes' Scythe was on display in the Temple of Dionysos Kolonatas in Sparta during the 5th century BCE alongside other relics alleged to be his. During that same time period a sword claimed by the Spartan misthios Kassandra after defeating Ligeia, the last incarnation of the Writhing Dread, was a possible contender.[2]
During the 1st century BCE, the apparently same blade was found by the Medjay and founder of the Hidden Ones, Bayek of Siwa.[3]
