Chrysaor was the son of Medusa and thus the brother of Pegasos in Greek mythology. With Callirrhoe, he also fathered the Giant Geryon.[1]
Influence[edit | edit source]
During the Peloponnesian War, the Spartan misthios Kassandra obtained a sword named after the mythical figure, through an Animus modification made by the Assassin Layla Hassan, who relived Kassandra's memories in 2018.[2] A likeness of Chrysaor was also depicted on the crest of a helmet of a set of armor inspired by his brother, Pegasos.[3]
