Mythology

Discover an unparalleled adventure at the heart of Saint Seiya's captivating mythology. Dive into the epic universe of this legendary saga, where gods, knights, and heroes meet in an endless struggle between good and evil — a world steeped in legends and cosmic power.

Masami Kurumada drew abundantly from Greek mythology, as well as Norse and other cultural traditions, to weave a rich and complex universe. Every armor, every character, every location reflects an ancient legend: from the gods of Olympus — Athena, Poseidon, Hades — to fantastic creatures like Pegasus, the Phoenix, and the Griffin, whose destinies are intertwined with those of the courageous Knights of the Zodiac.

Explore the epic battles between the Gold Saints, Athena's ultimate protectors, and the evil forces that seek to plunge the world into darkness. Discover the secrets of the twelve Zodiac Houses, each guarded by a knight with unique powers, and the stakes of the Holy Wars against the fearsome Spectres of Hades.

Beyond the battles, you will find here in-depth analyses of iconic characters, their mythological origins, and their motivations — as well as the major themes that run throughout the series: friendship, courage, and self-surpassing. Whether you are a seasoned fan or simply curious about mythology, let yourself be carried away to where the power of the gods meets the bravery of men.
