The Harpe of Perseus was a Sword of Eden claimed to have belonged to Perseus, the mythical Greek hero who killed Medusa and later founded Mycenae. It had properties similar to other Isu artifacts such as the Sword of Damokles and the Staff of Hermes Trismegistus.
This particular sword was used by the various incarnations of the Writhing Dread, a Gorgon created by the Isu as part of the Olympos Project.

Behind the scenes
Datamined content shows that this weapon's earlier name was the "Sword of the Slitherer" with the description "The keen edge on this blade has been through many a serpent's neck".
This weapon may have been the Sword of Eden used by Perseus to kill Ketos and save Andromeda due to the timing surrounding when he obtained it, though this is purely speculation. If it is indeed the same blade, it is as yet unknown how the Writhing Dread took possession of the weapon before it somehow reached Ligeia's hands.
