Not the sword used by Perseus

It's already been established that Perseus used a Sword of Eden, of which this sword is assuredly not. Ghost Leader (talk) 05:52, March 20, 2018 (UTC)

Actually, the game description doesn't even suggest that this sword was used by Perseus in the first place unlike other weapons in the game named after heroes which claim to be genuine replicas. Even if the game description did state that it was Perseus's sword, it would not contradict the fact that he was known to have wielded a Sword of Eden. Individuals can have multiple weapons and use different swords throughout their life or in different battles. Sol Pacificus^(Cyfiero) 06:33, March 20, 2018 (UTC)

Two separate articles

I think the odyssey weapon and the origins weapon should be separate articles since they are clearly two different weapons. Unless this article is more about the perceived weapon wielded by Perseus, as in Perseus wielded a Sword of Eden to kill Medusa and these were alleged to be that sword, in which case the article needs a revamp and should include the sickle found in Temple of Dionysos in Sparta.

If the two swords have clearly distinct appearances such that we can tell just by looking that they are not the same weapon, then they should indeed have two separate article. Sol Pacificus^(Cyfiero) 06:11, November 3, 2018 (UTC)

Yeah they are obviously different; Origins used the Canova model while Odyssey uses the original Cellini one. However I think we could have an article called Perseus's Sword of Eden, give its background, and then mention those two as claimants as well as the Sickle of Hermes in Sparta. Lacrossedeamon (talk) 06:23, November 3, 2018 (UTC)

Agreed with your suggestion. XOdeyssusx (talk) 06:58, November 3, 2018 (UTC)

Still needs splitting

But I’m not sure how to go about doing that. Lacrossedeamon (talk) 02:04, February 15, 2019 (UTC)

Propose delete

I have proposed deletion based on the discussion on discord between me, Master Yi and Lacrossedeamon:

Sima Today at 10:03: Well there are two different weapons called Harpe of Perseus, one in Origins and one in Odyssey. I'm not sure why we'd need three articles for it

Jhonnies Today at 10:07:

We should just port the info from the ody page to the one that has both of them

Lacrossedeamon Today at 10:08: No I think we should make the one that has them both just the origins one

Sima Today at 10:08:

I suggest having two, one for Odyssey and one for Origins

Lacrossedeamon Today at 10:08:

^

But I also suggest leaving the Perseus's Sword of Eden page as is, maybe add the Cursed Gorgoneion as a claimant
