Sadly Mythtaken	comment	When the writers take aspects from an intricate mythology or religion, twist their original meaning, and use them out of context for something far from its original purpose. It can be people, places, objects, anything up to and including God. Maybe they didn't check their facts, or maybe they did after all, but they assumed (perhaps rightly, perhaps not) that they didn't need to be accurate if they were using names and figures in a new context and purpose. It's not necessarily Faux Symbolism, because often they don't even pretend to have intended some deep religious meaning behind it. To be fair, many ancient sources don't agree on the specific interpretations of individual myths and legends, and many ancient writers would reinterpret them to prove whatever point they were trying to make. For example, most contemporary portrayals of the sorceress Medea have the deaths of her children be an accident, or a case of mistaken interpretation where the children turn out all right at the end. It wasn't until Euripides' play that Medea was turned into the purposeful murderess of her own offspring (even if she had the tiniest bit of sympathetic motivation for doing so), making this Older Than Feudalism. This frequently happens to any god, no matter how benign, who happens to have any dominion over death or the underworld. Underworld gods get a bad rap from people assuming Bad Powers, Bad People â€” or that any underworld god must be evil like the Christian Devil. Religious and mythological characters are often Sadly Mythtaken for characters from other religions and mythologies. In Western media, due to the Jesus Taboo and the like, pagan mythologies are more susceptible. The Japanese, on the other hand, have no qualms about bizarre portrayals of Christianity — or Shinto, for that matter. Sometimes this is the result of cultural appropriation where the cultural practices of one group are picked up by other people which sometimes causes myths or rituals to take on new meanings. This is one of the reasons why Our Monsters Are Different is what it is. May be accompanied by Symbology Research Failure. Contrast External Retcon, where the work is well aware of what a previous story or legend says and intentionally "reveals" that the events happened differently.

Sadly Mythtaken / int_116176dd	comment	The Dragon and the Bow: Granted, Loki is a spirit, not a god, in this fic, but he and his brother Thor take numerous liberties with authentic myths, Viking or otherwise. For example: Loki's identified as the "Father Of Dragons" among the villagers of Berk. Loki did not father any dragons in the original myths- his son Jormungand was a sea serpent, not a dragon- and the only connection he has with them is being partially responsible for cursing Fafnir. Thor was never his brother in the myths, only in the Marvel Comics. In the case of Thor himself, his appearance is based on the Marvel Comics version (blonde, clean-shaven) as opposed to the original Norse version (Manly Facial Hair, Fiery Redhead). Thor's Japanese identity, Raiden, is based more on the Mortal Kombat character of the same name (human in appearance with a hat). The original Raiden of Japanese Mythology was a heavyset Gonk who looked more like an Oni than human.

Or, alternately, Hell's chief Executioner. Furthermore Alastor is a Greek term for "avenger", notably both a title given to Zeus and the name of a man executed by Zeus, which would explain the lightning attacks in the game.

Sadly Mythtaken / int_2192aeb3	comment	Fire Emblem: A lot of the characters' names are taken from various mythologies, but the characters' roles don't always follow the narrative of the original myths; Naoise and Deirdre are not a tragic couple, Naoise is a simple knight and Deirdre's tragic romance is with Sigurd, who came from a different mythical pantheon. The most notable case of mistaken myth is the bow Ichaival/Yewfelle. For the longest time, the Japanese wiki seemed to be under the impression that the bow belonging to the Norse God of Archery, Ullr, was called Ichaival, because Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War associates the bow with the crusader Ullr and her descendants. There's no mention of Ullr's bow name in the myth; the game was likely corrupting Ã�dalir (or "yew-dale"), Ullr's divine home, into Ichaival through language rendition (ã‚¤ãƒ�ã‚¤ = ichii/yew, ãƒ�ãƒ« = bal/val, "valley"). The name bleeds into other works like Symphogear through Pop Culture Osmosis.

Sadly Mythtaken / int_2247a14a	comment	In The Chronicles of Prydain, the characters have names from Welsh mythology, and like other Hijacked by Jesus examples, the name of the god of death is given to a Satanic character. Comparatively, the honorable Aragorn is named Gwydion, who was actually more like Loki/Hermes in the mythology. At least Lloyd Alexander admits he's playing fast and loose with the Welsh mythological canon. To quote him: "Prydain is not Wales—not entirely, at least. The inspiration for it comes from that magnificent land and its legends; but, essentially, Prydain is a country existing only in the imagination."

This is particularly jarring, as prior to this, the game gets a surprising amount of Norse mythology right, and most of the divergences were necessary to the altered setting, or to the story they wanted to tell. For instance the Aesir are cyborg super soldiers who defend post-apocalyptic humanity from robotic "giants". But still resurrecting Baldr during the Fimbulwinter instead of after Ragnarok is new.

Sadly Mythtaken / int_22d87fc9	comment	That '70s Show: One episode has Midge return home from a feminist group meeting and make reference to "Aphrodite the goddess of war". For those unfamiliar with Greek mythology, Aphrodite was the goddess of love, and lover to the god of war Ares. It should be noted that while Midge is certainly not very bright, the info is implied to have come from a speech she heard that evening rather than her own lack of intelligence, hence her even knowing the name Aphrodite. It's possible the mixup was with Athena, who while generally associated with wisdom is also the goddess of warfare in the Greek mythos. This one is accidentally correct - Aphrodite, in her earlier incarnations, was, in fact, a god of war, which makes sense as the similar Primordial Venus gods, and those which influenced her, such as Inanna/Ishtar, were gods of Love and War. Even in later Hellenic mythology, in Laconia, she was worshipped as a warrior goddess, and the Roman Venus had a war aspect as well. Whether the writers knew this is unknowable, but Midge absolutely would not have.

The goddesses Urd, Belldandy and Skuld are named after the Norns (Verthandi, which contains sounds not available in Japanese, was not checked against the original Norse, creating "Belldandy" in the translation). Or more accurately, the primary Norns, who were responsible for overseeing the fate of Yggdrasil rather than any of the individuals who lived in it, who were watched by the countless number of lesser Norns (This is alluded to by having the sisters work at maintaining the Yggdrasil computer before coming to Earth in the story). Their connection to past, present and future is actually borrowing from the legend of the Greek fates. The goddesses are also the daughters of Tyr, despite the fact that there was no connection between their myths (the Norns are technically Jotuns, not Aesir or Vanir).

While Sekhmet (goddess of war) giving him Super-Strength, Anubis (god of funerary rites) giving him the ability to turn people into mummies, and Horus (god of the sky) giving him flight feel at least somewhat logical, getting Time Master abilities from the god of writing and knowledge (Thoth) is a bit too much of a stretch. Also, the backstory for the episode's plot involves an Egyptian pharaoh trying to sacrifice a woman to the sun god Ra to bring his wife back from the dead — there's little to no evidence that the ancient Egyptians did human sacrifices, and that's without getting into the Artistic License â€“ History regarding the pharaoh and wife in question (the identity of which depend on the dub).

The Duat (underworld) in the actual myths was guarded by monstrous serpents, and someone in Imhotep's position, having assisting in the murder of the Pharaoh, the living incarnation of the sun god Ra, was guilty of the single worst crime imaginable, and there was a punishment reserved specifically for people who had committed this particularly horrid type of blasphemy: to be tied with one's arms behind one's back in the underworld in a position designed to cause terrible pain while having a multi-headed serpent eternally breathe fire into your face.

Set was really more a god of the deserts and chaos than, as the film describes him, a god of the dead. Also, Set is a bit like Loki in that he was portrayed more as mischievous in early myths, only crossing over to "evil" after he became associated with certain foreign tribes known for perennially invading Egypt.

Sadly Mythtaken / int_2f203125	comment	Shin Megami Tensei: Pretty much in every single one of its numerous incarnations, does this to a very minuscule extent. However, they're generally excused for what little creative license they take for the sheer amount they get right, especially given the prevalence of this trope. As the massive bibliographies for the games included in some of the Japanese-only companion books clearly indicate, this is not so much a mistake as Rule of Cool. Rather disappointingly, though, especially with its traditionally major role in the franchise, Cerberus remains some sort of lion-wolf with only one head in all but three games, due to its portrayal in the original Digital Devil Story novels and anime from which the video games took off. One-headed Kerberos is actually the original portrayal. Later portrayals emphasised multiple heads, while varying on the actual number. The idea that it has 3 heads specifically did not sink in until the Renaissance. The three-headed version is thus, in itself, an example of both this trope and of literal Word of Dante. As an example of minor deviancies, Metatron is adorned with crosses despite not being in Christian canon. Many games also mistake the Zhu Que or Suzaku with Feng Huang whenever the Chinese names are used. The Zhu Que and Feng Huang were not always distinct, and in many non-Han variations of the four gods they are still considered the same creature. This might still be considered unusual for the SMT series, which, if anything, often errs on the side differentiating characters who, in the source material, were the same being named in different languages. The Egyptian god Seth is traditionally depicted as an animal that somewhat resembles a jackal, an aardvark, a fox, or a combination all of the above. Not in SMT, however; here, he's depicted as a gigantic black dragon. This is in contrast to all the other Egyptian gods in the series that are accurately portrayed (for example, Horus, Seth's foil, is portrayed as a falcon like in the myths). This may also be another artifact of Digital Devil Story where he had a serpentine and draconic appearance; the author admitted that Set's appearance as a snake was inspired by Robert E. Howard.

Sadly Mythtaken / int_332cb317	comment	Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) gives the name Iblis to the mindless, destructive part of Solaris. In the myths, Iblis was a crafty, cunning and highly arrogant djinn (a being of fire), and essentially was the Devil in Islamic mythology, as Satan is in Christian mythology. His primary activity is to incite humans and djinni to commit evil through deception, which is essentially what Mephiles does in the game, rather than Iblis. The only thing they have in common is that they're both beings of fire.

Sadly Mythtaken / int_345567d1	comment	In Victorian times, the Poetic Edda — an ancient collection of the Norse heroic legend — was re-discovered. Richard Wagner made them into operas, threw in some German myths, and we get the Ring cycle, which...well, it resembles the originals in places, but it's essentially a complete rewrite of the myths. And Wagner's Spiritual Successor to the Ring cycle, Parsifal, is the myth of the Holy Grail remade in the image of the Bayreuth Theater. At least Wagner didn't invent the sadly mythtaken Arabic etymology of Parsifal's name. Wagner's Ring is something of a cross between two versions of the same story, and Wagner's own personal sensibilities (the stories being the Middle High German Nibelungenlied and the Scandinavian VÃ¶lsunga saga). It is very likely that the two stories share a common origin. Both purportedly feature the Burgundian realm by the Rhine and feature Attila as a minor character (Etzel in the Nibelungenlied, Atle in the Scandinavian version).

When Anubis is portrayed as god of the dead, or god of death, you also know it's bad. That role belonged to Osiris; Anubis was a very minor god of embalmment.

For example, "boggarts" are small, dwarf-like creatures, not shapeshifters. An In-Universe example occurs when Snape says that a Kappa is a Mongolian beast, not Japanese, in an offhand comment, correcting a student in one book. The side book Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them states that Kappas are actually Japanese (as in real life), with a note from Harry in the margin stating "Snape hasn't read this book either".

Sadly Mythtaken / int_43576f5	comment	Supernatural: The show started out with urban legends and was very faithful to them. It started doing the same kind of 'square peg into round hole' approach to its monsters-of-the-week as Charmed (ex. brain-eating kitsune) around the same time it started Going Cosmic and incorporating all kinds of mythology, no matter how awkwardly they fit the series. One of the cryptids in the show was the Jersey Devil, who looked like a devil. This would have been fine, had not the folkloric Jersey Devil actually looked like a long-necked horse with bat wings. One of the most talked-about examples is the episode "Hammer of the Gods", in which all pagan deities are man-eaters. It's vaguely interpreted that gods feast on human flesh when there's little faith left to sustain them... in which case, it's surprising to hear that all of India must have embraced Islam at some point in the history of the Supernatural-verse for it to make any sense that the Hindu gods, who have hundreds of millions of followers in real life, would be in that situation. Word of God says it's actually sacrifices that fuel the pagan gods, not faith, hence why Kali has been reduced to man-eating. Archangel Gabriel is strangely The Trickster. In fairness he's pretending to be Loki as a sort of celestial witness protection, but no traditional interpretation of Gabriel puts him anywhere near that personality. In the Halloween episode, they introduced a demon named Samhain as the origin of the holiday. That's bad enough, but what's unforgiveable is that they pronounced it phonetically. It wasn't an intentional sign of ignorance either. If Dean had pronounced it wrong it would be one thing, but Sam the research geek and the angels of the Lord also said it phonetically. In case anyone doesn't know, the correct pronounciation is "Sawin". While the idea that the holiday revolves around a demon named Samhain isn't original to the show, it's actually anti-pagan slander invented by Christian fundamentalists. The progenitor of all the monster races is named Eve, who is a Biblical character tempted into evil by a monster. The Greeks actually called this monster-mother Echidna. She's probably also based on Lilith, the mother of all demons and Adam's first wife from Jewish mythology, but that name was already used for another character in the show. To be fair, it's the character who names herself "Eve" and she's explicitly not the Biblical Eve, who is mentioned in the final season by Adam. In a Season 6 episode, Atropos, one of the three Moirai (Greek goddesses of Fate), says that her two older sisters will come for Castiel and Balthazar if they kill her, warning them that they are more powerful than her. In the original myths, Atropos is actually the eldest sister, and is by far the most feared of the trio, because she decides when humans will die (Clotho decides when humans will be born, while Lachesis decides their course of life). A season 8 episode mentions Prometheus as a love interest of the goddess Artemis, when Artemis was, among other things, the goddess of chastity. Of course the relationship between the two was treated as if it was a bit of a scandal so it could've been an intentional change. Sometimes the show does this intentionally. It's a Running Gag that there's plenty of lore on unicorns even though hunters are pretty sure they're not real, angels were invincible when they first showed up because (in addition to genuinely being extremely powerful) they had destroyed all information on their weaknesses, and zombies have so much conflicting lore that it's hard to figure out what created a specific zombie or how to kill it.

Sadly Mythtaken / int_43abaff4	comment	The Exorcist: Admirably, instead of choosing a pagan god to turn into a demon, they used an actual evil spirit from Mesopotamian mythology as the one who possesses Regan. However, Pazuzu was the exact wrong choice, since out of all Mesopotamian demons, he's the only one known to protect children (mostly against his wife, Lamashtu, who would have been a more appropriate choice). It's possible, of course, that this would have been deliberate on the part of the author, if he wished to tap into the common belief among some Christians that the various pagan deities might actually have existed, but were actually demonic deceivers. In that case, the 'protects children' itself would have been a deceit.

Sadly Mythtaken / int_45a29545	comment	The Secret Saturdays: Some cryptid portrayals diverge from their original accounts, in some cases by quite a bit. The Ahuul is depicted as a monkey with pterosaur wings on its back. Real-life descriptions of the creature typically describe it as a giant bat. The Garuda seen in the show is a huge eagle with no other outstanding traits. The mythological Garuda is usually depicted as a winged man, a humanoid bird (usually with distinct arms and legs), or some middle ground between the two, and usually carries weapons or armor. This is downplayed, however, insofar as the actual Garuda doesn't appear; the creature seen on-screen is an illusion. The Grootslang is depicted as a giant green elephant with four tusks, horns, and a long, spikes-tipped tail. The folkloric Grootslang as described by South African folklorists and travelogues was a fifty-foot python with diamonds for eyes. The closest thing to the show's version is from the 2001 book Giants, Monsters, and Dragons: An Encyclopedia of Folklore, Legend, and Myth, which describes the beast as "huge, like an elephant, with a serpent's tail". The Mapinguari is depicted in the manner common in cryptozoology — that is, as essentially a surviving giant ground sloth. The Mapinguari of Amazonian folklore is a cyclops with a mouth on its belly. The Piasa Bird is depicted as a horned, pterosaur or wyvern-like creature with an arrowhead-tipped tail, hands on its wings, and no mammalian traits beyond a small beard. The Piasa depicted on the Mississippi River murals is somewhat poorly known due to the original depiction being lost, but the contemporary descriptions on which the modern replica was based describe it as having deer antlers, a bearded human face, and an extremely long tail tipped in a fish fin. The wings in the modern version aren't recorded by earlier sources. The Rakshasa is a horned, tusked, and purple tiger. The Rakshasa of Indian myths are depicted as monstrous humanoid demons, and are only rarely specifically tiger-like. The Shedu is essentially a Dimetrodon with a monstrous face and a lizard tongue. The Shedu of Babylonian myth and art was a counterpart to and often synonym for the Lamassu, a bull or lion with wings and a human head. The Bunyips are depicted as basically Australian gremlins, being small, mischievous critters who loves to mess with technology and take things apart, but otherwise harmless. The actual mythical Bunyip is described a large, man-eating, swamp monster that rarely, if ever, leaves water.

Hewdraw was supposed to be Hydra, but now is a flying 3 headed dragon with a Multiple Head Case, one of which has a british accent. Thanatos decides to add the much needed "h" into his name, stating it's for "Hamaaaaazing!", and is explained to be a shapeshifter, with his original role of God of Death intact. Medusa is brought closer in line with the original myth, being cursed to take a monsterous form by Palutena for her vanity, she still has snake hair but is less monsterous since her return. She still has the face of a monster and her head can detach itself from the body, and after she dies its revealed she was not the queen of the underworld at all. It's Hades, who just used her as a distraction.

Wrath Of The Lich King is full of Nordic mythology counterparts, but they generally get it right. Freya (fertility) as a guardian of nature, Loken is a trickster, and so on. There are also a large amount of monsters inspired by D&D, which in turn are often named after various mythological beings but have very little resemblance with the original stories.

Sadly Mythtaken / int_4be1bdd0	comment	Golden Sun doesn't even bother with accuracy, as many of the summon names were pretty obviously assigned based on what sounded cool. Boreas, minor Greek god of the north wind, is a giant snow-cone machine in the Golden Sun universe. That is all. Until Dark Dawn, in which he became a giant, literal Iron Horse. Wait, what? Only thing they got right about Boreas is that it is the wind the brings winter, fitting the ice theme. Ramses is a ridiculous giant head with even more ridiculous floating fists. Cybele is a surprised-looking tree-horned frog. Subverted in Dark Dawn when it is revealed that said frog is actually Cybele's assistant. Perhaps the most hilarious example occurs with the summon Neptune (derived from the Roman name for the god of the sea, Neptunus). At certain point in Golden Sun: The Lost Age, you fight a boss named Poseidon, which is the same entity only now under its Greek name. You can technically have the summon attack itself. Never mind that the Neptune summon is a giant whale with a Wave-Motion Gun for a blowhole. And then there's Moloch, the Canaanite god of Biblical fame, whose man-made idol with a fire in its stomach was apparently offered babies by its worshippers. In Golden Sun: The Lost Age, it's a giant yeti on four legs that exhales a blizzard at you. Coatlicue, the devouring Aztec goddess with snakes for head and clothing, a statue of whom was allegedly excavated by archaeologists who were so disgusted by it that they immediately buried it again, is a Miko who pours Water of Life to heal your party. Dark Dawn does change the Horny Viking Thor's beard from blonde to red at least. He swaps out his hammer for a giant turbo fan in the process though. Daedalus is a Humongous Mecha that uses Macross Missile Massacre. What. Well, Daedalus was the ancient Greek equivalent of a Gadgeteer Genius...it's something. Haures is an Ars Goetia demon who controls fire. Here, he is a massive-clawed demon who poisons people. Having said that, poison and burn in video games sometimes do behave similarly (causing Damage Over Time), so from a certain point of view it isn't completely wrong. Ulysses appears as a wandering sorceror in traditional Japanese garb, rather than a Greek warrior-king (albeit with a trickster side).

Gaia is depicted as a sexless-looking, hostile golem, rather than the goddess of the Earth. On a smaller scale, Orpheus' love interest is renamed Helene (Eurydice who?), the Hydra has only one head, Prometheus is guarded by the Nemean Lion rather than savaged by an eagle, and Circe is depicted as an old crone instead of The Vamp. Hades is the Big Bad, but that's somewhat justified by his kidnapping of Helene being modelled on that of Persephone in the myth.

Adaptations have flanderized sunlight into vampire kryptonite, but Mythology Marches On, and Stoker's vampires are merely weaker in sunlight. The original Dracula is also destroyed by a knife through the heart rather than a stake. Sharp steel or iron objects like needles or knives are effective vampire kryptonite in Slavic mythology, yet adaptations, sequels, and even "scholarly" annotated versions of the novel jump on the lack of a wooden stake as proof that Dracula is Not Quite Dead.

In the original myths Hades was the God of Underworld, his default shape was humanoid (but like all Greek deities he was a shape-shifter), and even though he was not exactly a nice guy, he was not worse than his relatives. In the Mazinverse he is a God of Evil whose (unchangeable) shape is that of a giant being of fire and wishes conquering the surface world. Z Mazinger is worse in that regard: the Greek gods were Sufficiently Advanced Aliens that ancient Greeks mistook for gods, Zeus was a rebel turned on their comrades to protect the humans, and Mazinger was his own Humongous Mecha. Again in Shin Mazinger Zeus shows up but he is way different of the myth -let's say his severed hand is used to build the God Scrander-, and Hades is again a flaming, humongous God of Evil.

Sadly Mythtaken / int_5846165c	comment	Kid Icarus: Kid Icarus (1986): The queen of the underworld is Medusa, Pluton is a common enemy that steals your weapons, Pandora is a giant soap bubble and goddess of calamity and deceit, your loot can be solen by the god of poverty even though poverty was the domain of the goddess Penia and Thanatos is a snake that lives in Medusa's hair. Kid Icarus: Uprising either fixes these, changes them, or plays them for laughs. Palutena herself is supposed to be Pallas Athena, but is now pretty much a different character entirely (her most notable trait? She's a Troll). Hewdraw was supposed to be Hydra, but now is a flying 3 headed dragon with a Multiple Head Case, one of which has a british accent. Thanatos decides to add the much needed "h" into his name, stating it's for "Hamaaaaazing!", and is explained to be a shapeshifter, with his original role of God of Death intact. Medusa is brought closer in line with the original myth, being cursed to take a monsterous form by Palutena for her vanity, she still has snake hair but is less monsterous since her return. She still has the face of a monster and her head can detach itself from the body, and after she dies its revealed she was not the queen of the underworld at all. It's Hades, who just used her as a distraction. Pit himself is an angel, despite the fact that there are none in Greek Mythology. He's actually closer to Cupid/Eros due to his use of bows, and has been depicted as shooting heart arrows at times. Uprising plays with this by keeping the fact that he's an angel, and then making the Angel Bow shoot hearts to keep the discrepancy up. Of course, the game gets its name from Icarus, who was not an angel, but a human whose wings were made of wood, feathers, and wax and attached to his arms. In the myth, Icarus flew too close to the sun, causing the wax in the wings to melt, and then he fell to his death. Conversly in the original game, Pit's wings were generally useless, but he shared his mythological namesake's tendency to fall to his death. Zigzagged: in Uprising, Pit can't fly naturally, but Palutena and Viridi can give him the ability to do so. However, he can't use this power for more than five minutes or else his wings burn up. This is not Gameplay and Story Segregation. Most flight segments last for less than five minutes, but he goes over the limit in one cutscene. His wings burn up, revealing some bones which are very much not made of wood, feathers, and wax. One of the bonus shorts that promoted the game had Thanatos attack humans with Trojan Horses, except they were clearly horse shaped wooden AT-ATs. The Grim Reaper is a race, called Reapers. And they're evil. They don't bring death (though they can), but rather harvest souls of the dead, presumably for use by the malevolent underworld gods. Averted with Twinbellows, which is an exact Cerberus expy, just with fire breath and a name change... though he has two heads instead of the standard three (which calls to mind an actual two-headed canine from Greek mythology, Orthrus).

Sadly Mythtaken / int_5c622d7f	comment	Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening: Although Cerberus is still a three-headed hound just like the guard dog of the Underworld in Classical Mythology, this Cerberus has ice powers, making him more of a Mythology Upgrade to his Divine Comedy counterpart. Agni and Rudra are no longer the Hindu gods of fire and the storm respectively, but instead sentient scimitars wielded by headless brutes. While Rudra in Hindu mythology does have a secondary rubric in storms (and thus connected to winds), his primary shtick is as an archer. The Hindu god of wind is Vayu. Beowulf, the hero of the Geats in the old English poem, is a dog-demon who later becomes gauntlets and greaves that glow with light in this series. Also, Beowulf's name and design really make no sense at all when you discover where his likeness came from. The inspiration for his design was Pazuzu (as confirmed in page 31 of the 3142 Graphic Arts artbook), a Babylonian demon of disease with a scorpion tail, two pairs of wings, claws on the feet and hands, and the face of a dog. Yet despite these, Capcom named him Beowulf, and described him a as demon of light. Geryon, the monster from Greek mythology is said to be a giant with three bodies, and then later described in The Divine Comedy as a winged beast with the tail of a scorpion but the face of a man, is really a massive time-stopping horse that draws a large carriage. However, the giant Geryon was a horse owner. Naming a succubus Nevan really doesn't make sense at all, as it would only when she's likened to a Leanan SÃdhe or Baobhan Sith.

Sadly Mythtaken / int_5d44346b	comment	Campione!: The series justifies its treatment of Heretic Gods because this trope occurs in universe. Older gods are integrated into new religions, their natures and origins twisted to fit the new theology. Heretic Gods manifest when they rebel against some aspect of the Myth that has been layered on them over the years, such as a victorious god seeking defeat or a subordinate goddess seeking to regain her lost throne. Example: Athena began existence as the dominant mother goddess of her people and was represented by a serpent. When she was adopted into the Greek pantheon, she was split into the dual aspects of Athena the goddess and Medusa the serpent. Medusa was slain by Perseus, representing the loss of her power, and Athena became the daughter of Zeus, thus subordinating her to him.

Raksha in Exalted are sapient vortexes of chaotic energy that happen to take human form, and serve as The Fair Folk. This came about in part because of a writing issue: a lot of material for the first edition Fair Folk book came in way too close to publication for a proper rewrite, yet not delivering anything near what the line developer wanted, meaning that the developer and one writer on hand ended up slotting in Hindu mythological concepts and Sanskrit words just to get something other than the European fae clichÃ©s they'd been given.

Sadly Mythtaken / int_66abe7c6	comment	The Fate Series section of the Nasuverse tends to change myths around a lot, but these are usually intentional creative changes. Fate/hollow ataraxia, however, does make two genuine mistakes. When recounting the backstory of Rider/Medusa and her sisters, the narration explains that Stheno and Euryale had perfect immortality, unlike the rest of the Greek gods who needed to eat the golden apples to sustain theirs. This is incorrect; it was the gods of the Norse pantheon who had to eat the golden apples of IÃ°unn to retain their youth (possibly they got mixed up with the Ambrosia the Greek gods ate, which could supposedly grant immortality, although the gods weren't necessarily dependent on it themselves). Rin wonders if Saber's Idiot Hair is her "reverse scale", so she cuts it off to see what will happen, resulting in Saber transforming into her Alter form. However, reverse scales are only a feature of East Asian dragons — a scale on the underside of their chins that causes the normally benevolent Eastern dragon to go berserk if agitated — while Saber was infused with the blood of a Western dragon. It is explained in later lore that all dragons have reverse scale, but it's not always in the same place. Elisabeth Bathory, who is dragon-blooded in this universe, has her reverse scale near the base of her tail.

Not in SMT, however; here, he's depicted as a gigantic black dragon. This is in contrast to all the other Egyptian gods in the series that are accurately portrayed (for example, Horus, Seth's foil, is portrayed as a falcon like in the myths). This may also be another artifact of Digital Devil Story where he had a serpentine and draconic appearance; the author admitted that Set's appearance as a snake was inspired by Robert E. Howard.

Sadly Mythtaken / int_68237790	comment	Pathfinder tends to be more faithful to mythology than D&D, especially considering that they use dozens of incredibly obscure creatures pulled from across the globe, but has its own share of Artistic License: Golems are depicted as they are in D&D — a general term for humanoid magical constructs, without independent willpower, intelligence, or voices, that can be made out of almost any material to serve any goal they master wants of them. In this, they differ very sharply from the folkloric Golem of Prague, a clay humanoid made by a rabbi to protect his community, which was both vocal and self-willed — indeed, his taking his mission into his own hands to a dangerous degree was a central aspect of the story. Wendigos are depicted as deer-headed, flying monsters with burned-off legs, created when a malevolent spirit possesses a mortal who commits cannibalism. The wendigo of Algonquian myth is described as a gaunt and skeletal human, does not have missing legs, and is associated with gluttony and hoarding food in a more general sense. It is also usually described as a transformed human rather than a victim of possession. The grootlsang is described as an elephant-serpent hybrid and a survivor of an ancient race of monsters that was created by the gods and then later split into the first snakes and elephants when they were too powerful to control; it is also described as coveting gems, especially diamonds, which can be used to bargain past the creature's "lust for cruelty". About the only things in common with the original folkloric creature is a generally reptilian appearence and an association with gems. The grootslang of South African folklore is a forty-foot python with diamonds for eyes that lives in the Orange River or a cave connected to it and guards a hoard of diamonds. Everything else — the elephant traits, the creation myth, the intelligence, and the ability to bargain with it — were invented for the game. Notably, due to the grootlsang's description in Bestiary 3 being pasted to the wiki article in 2012, this version of the story became the dominant one in internet folklore. The adlet of Inuit folklore is a human with dog legs. Pathfinder depicts them as out-and-out wolf people. Skinwalkers are depicted as a race of humanoids with innate shapeshifting, descended from werecreatures. The skin-walkers of Navajo folklore are evil witches who can turn into, possess, or disguise themselves as animals. Later editions rename this race to "beastkin". Oreads are a race of stony-skinned humanoids descended from earth genies and elementals. The oreads of Greek myth were nymphs who lived in and guarded mountains, serving as montane counterparts to the dryads of the forests and the naiads of the waters. The Nuckelavee is portrayed accurately by the artists, but the fluff describes it as "a manifestation of nature's rage against all who despoil its beauty". The mythological Nuckelavee (and the one in Dungeons & Dragons) is just a murderous monster. Tengu are depicted as street rats who care little for religion, and yamabushi are described as a type of oni that disguises itself as an evil tengu. A yamabushi is actually a type of hermit-monk in the Shugendo religion, also known as a shugenja. Tengu themselves generally appear in myth as exaggerated yamabushi, even more distant and spiritual than their human counterparts, with elements of The Trickster. Shikigami are portrayed as a race of tiny rock-men skilled with improvised weapons. In Onmyōdō a shikigami is any creature bound to a spellcaster as a servant, making it essentially identical to the Familiar of the wizard and sorcerer (but not witch) classes. A few of the monsters taken from medieval bestiaries are given heavy artistic license due to Rule of Cool. Bestiary 4's barometz refers to a gigantic ram-shaped mass of vegetation created by druids as a nature guardian whereas the mythical one was simply a very odd plant with a lamb attached to it like an umbilical cord. Also from Bestiary 4, the myremecoleon is an elephant-sized insect that spews acid while the mythical inspiration was a giant ant with a lion's head whose gimmick was it could not eat plants or meat, so it always starved to death. Leshies are depicted as tiny Plant People created when nature spirits are called to inhabit a specially-grown plant, exist to protect and guide natural processes, and come in various different types tasked with overseeing a different aspect of nature, such as leaf leshies, seaweed leshies, fungus leshies, cactus leshies, flytrap leshies and so on. The leshies of Slavic folklore are forest spirits resembling bearded human men and which can shapeshift into other forms, and are generally more similar to fey or minor tutelary deities than anything else.

Sadly Mythtaken / int_6afa84c6	comment	The Mummy Trilogy: The first film has Imhotep being terrified of cats, due to the claim that they are the guardians of the underworld. The Duat (underworld) in the actual myths was guarded by monstrous serpents, and someone in Imhotep's position, having assisting in the murder of the Pharaoh, the living incarnation of the sun god Ra, was guilty of the single worst crime imaginable, and there was a punishment reserved specifically for people who had committed this particularly horrid type of blasphemy: to be tied with one's arms behind one's back in the underworld in a position designed to cause terrible pain while having a multi-headed serpent eternally breathe fire into your face. Generally, the earthly punishment for Imhotep's crimes would not be immortality and mummification in ancient Egypt. Part of the belief behind the ancient Egyptian afterlife was that your name and physical body needed be preserved as well. So greatest punishment to them was to be forgotten and your body destroyed. If you did make to the afterlife, you faced the judgement aka the famous heart-weighing picture with that weird animal ready to eat your soul if the scale tipped against the feather of Maat. "The Book of the Dead" is not a physical book; it's a collection of death-related texts from tomb walls and coffins (and it's really called "The Book of Coming Forth By Day"). Plus, even if it were a single artifact, it wouldn't have been the codex-style "book" seen in the film, as that format wasn't used till the late Roman Empire. The Mummy Returns has Anubis as a "dark god". To make it even worse, someone was described as selling his soul to Anubis. Anubis carries all the souls of the dead to the underworld, but he isn't in possession of those souls, nor is there any equivalent of hell in the Egyptian afterlife (undeserving souls are simply fed to a monster; yes, it sounds awful, but think about this: it's not eternal).

Rule of Cool combined with Capital Letters Are Magic meant a lot of concepts in the setting were assigned names from real world cultures or mythologies, but often in a manner tangentially-related at best. (New World of Darkness writers are more aware of this and generally use real-world myths and legends more appropriately.) Mage: The Ascension: Gilgul is a concept of reincarnation in Jewish Kabbalism, but here it refers to the most severe punishment among Awakened: the removal of a mage's reincarnated Avatar. It's almost like referring to extinguishing a flame as "The Ignition". Vampire: The Masquerade: The vampire clan of warrior-philosophers turned rebel-anarchists are the Brujah, derived from the Spanish word for "witch". While somewhat applicable, Brujah vampires have the most physically-based set of Disciplines (vampire powers); most other clans have far more overt mystical powers (e.g., the Tremere, the clan of vampire wizards, can actually throw fireballs). The Ishtarri are a Toreador bloodline specializing in espionage. The goddess Ishtar was once immensely popular and held a wide portfolio, including war, beauty, sexuality, fertility, prostitution, justice, kingship, lions, and storms, but espionage was emphatically not one of them, and doesn't exactly fit her depiction as an aggressive hot-head, either. The Toreador themselves are something of an example, since Ishtar (as a vampire) is actually their clan-founder, but Toreador are primarily handled as a clan of snobby, artistic, sexy socialmancers, going all-in on the beauty aspect while mostly ignoring the warlike and kingly elements. In fact, they are often treated as fragile and somewhat wimpy, although, that tends to be a negative stereotype assigned to them by other clans and Toreador can be portrayed as capable fighters and leaders. Their New World of Darkness counterpart, the Daeva, seem to have been created to rectify this, possessing the same origin but a more suitable Interplay of Sex and Violence gimmick and often tempestuous personalities, though, again, this can definitely also apply to the Toreador.

Rather, they were thought to have guardianship over a particular portion of the night sky and the constellations therein, and could be invoked for such things as fertility, or victory in war.

Sadly Mythtaken / int_70814599	comment	Stargate SG-1: While Stargate was arguably already pushing the "liberal" application of Egyptian mythology too far, the series pushed it even further — and not just Egyptian, but many mythologies all over the world, shoehorning them into the premise of aliens impersonating gods. Of course, within its universe, it's the religions that are memetic mutations of the events that "really" happened, not the other way round. Even there it's a little unclear. Sometimes the Goa'uld seemed to be impersonating or taking on the roles of mythological figures that existed before those Goa'uld came to Earth, while other times the Goa'uld seemed to be using their own names and identities which happened to inspire the myths we now know. That might be Depending on the Writer, or since the Goa'uld came to Earth now and then for thousands of years, it might just vary depending on the individual Goa'uld. The Asgard, though, unambiguously are open about their names, identities and goals, and their actions happened to inspire the Norse myths. The Asgard used holoprojectors to disguise that they were small and grey, though. SG-1's position on the Goa'uld seems to have shifted over time. It was pretty clearly a case of the Goa'uld being the inspiration for mythology, but characters started quite pointedly saying the Goa'uld assumed the roles of gods. (Presumably someone became uncomfortable with the unfortunate implications for well, every religion in the world). In the Season 1 episode "Thor's Hammer", Daniel says that Thor had a hammer called, well, Thor's Hammer. The problem with this is that it was actually named Mjolnir, and is probably the second most famous named weapon in the West (a distant loss to Excalibur).

Sadly Mythtaken / int_7149a731	comment	Wonder Woman (2017): The film presents a very altered version of Greek myth, which is usual for WW though the film took some liberties that are not common for WW. Some of the most notable departures, which mostly concern the Olympian pantheon, include: Amazons in Greek myth are not peaceful enemies of Ares nor daughters of Zeus. They are warlike and barbaric daughters of Ares. Zeus was not a creator-god. Ares did not kill all the other Greek gods. Zeus was mightier than all the other Greek gods combined, and Ares was a particularly ill-favored god among the Greeks, causing him to often get embarrassed or defeated in their myths. In fact, the story given in the movie, Ares killing his father and the other divine predecessors to make way for a new pantheon is a lot more like Zeus' own rise to power against the Titans. Ares was also one of two gods of war, the other being Athena. For the Greeks, Ares represented physical strength, valour, anger, and violence, far from the scheming planner of the film, though Ares taking on the scheming bits of Mars is common in Wonder Woman tales. Humankind was created by Prometheus, who later tricked Zeus into accepting bones and fat from animal sacrifice so that humans would be able to keep the meat, and stole fire from Zeus on humankind's behalf. Zeus was actually behind the plan to release evil upon humankind with the whole Pandora thing, rather than being the benevolent father-creator god described by Hippolyta.

Sadly Mythtaken / int_760e3662	comment	Wonder Woman (2009): As per usual with Wonder Woman stories the Greek Mythology is mostly In Name Only, but some of these changes are new to the film: Hades seems to be reviled and looks and behaves more like an overweight Bacchus than the impartial ruler of the underworld. The Amazons of myth were called the Daughters of Ares due to his favor of them, their warlike nature and the fact that he acted as consort to one of their queens. Hippolyta was his actual daughter with said queen and, like all his children, under his fierce protection should she ask for it. She was not someone he'd have attacked and raped as in the film, especially since Ares is one of the few in the Greek pantheon who doesn't have any famous tales of non-consensual relationships and is the only one who has done anything to prevent a rape, namely killing one of Posideon's sons for trying to rape one of Ares' daughters. While Zeus in the film actually saved Ares in mythology he hated Ares and laughed him off whenever he tried to ask for help and considered him an embarrassment and tattle-tale. Once again the Amazons, the mythological inventors of pants, don't seem to own or wear a single pair of pants.

Sadly Mythtaken / int_76885dcf	comment	Are You Afraid of the Dark? - "The Tale of Jake and the Leprechaun" contains several when trying to incorporate Irish mythology. While one could normally hand wave it by being a campfire story told by a preteen, Eric says it's specifically based on stories his Irish grandfather told him. The following... Eric claims that the Irish call The Fair Folk 'pixies' rather than fairies. Pixies are from British folklore (although there could feasibly be an overlap), and the Irish would call them fairies, or the Irish language name for them Aos SÃ. Jake is given a potion that turns him into a changeling. Changelings in Celtic mythology are fairy children that get swapped with humans, and aren't something you can turn into via Involuntary Shapeshifting. The titular leprechaun is a helpful figure who helps Jake fight the true villain. Leprechauns are more likely to be tricksters in Irish folklore. Sean also wears green, which is of course the colour most associate with Oireland, when that's reserved for leprechauns in groups. A solitary one like him would wear red. The biggest one of all is that the actor in Jake's play turns out to be a Banshee. A man being a banshee is impossible, since they're an Always Female species, and the name is an anglicised variant of the Irish beann sÃ (pronounced the same way) that literally translates as 'fairy woman'. And the Banshee just appears to foretell the death of a family member, rather than trying to turn a human into a changeling.

Apparently, Piers Anthony only did the truly minimal amount of research to know that Shiva is the Hindu destroyer deity and didn't probe deep enough to see that he's a heroic figure who mostly destroys evil and slaughters demons, as well as being one of the three aspects of the Hindu supreme trinity. In other words, that's about as far off as claiming Jesus is the equivalent of Satan. A far better comparison could have been made to the demon lord Ravana, Shiva's traditional enemy.

The game claims Ragnarok will be between the Aesir and the Vanir (the original has the Aesir against the Jotuns), Surt was in frost-encased Jotunheim (when Surt was a fire giant), and makes Frey and Freya into Aesir (they're Vanir), and Odin has both eyes . Also, in the original Japanese version, Frey and Freya's names were swapped. In either case Frey is female and doesn't really fit the mythological figure, but although Freya is an appropriate name for the chief goddess, it's not an appropriate name for a glorified gate guard.

Sadly Mythtaken / int_7cf5a07	comment	In The Flash (2014) Season 3, the main antagonist, Savitar, Self-Proclaimed God of Speed and Motion (really just future Barry) does this quite a fair bit: In the Hindu pantheon, there is a Savitr, but he's a solar god, and has nothing to do with speed or motion. Granted, Earth-1 is a world where metahumans have been around in one form or another since Ancient Egypt, so their myths may have evolved a bit differently. Also Savitar claims he sought godhood because God doesn't feel pain; though it is true that he doesn't feel physical pain, the Old Testament does include multiple passages where ×™×”×•×”, note YHWH, Romanised JHVH; Pronounced: Yahweh, Romanised Jehovah (more commonly used pronunciation) (That's the name of the Abrahamic God) states he's feeling emotional pain, which is what Savitar was referring to. It appears that even though he's been around for thousands of years, he has never once bothered to actually read a Bible, or any other religion's holy text either. Plus, Savitar has only referenced commonly known myths and hasn't shown any in-depth knowledge.

First of all, it shows Eowyn wearing a very feminine suit of armor when she was meant to be disguised as a man. It also shows the Witch-King with muscular limbs, when the curse that made him into what he is also made his physical body invisible without his cloak and armor.

In Norse mythology, there are various ways the story is said to have gone down, but the gist of it is that Loki kills Baldr, or tricks someone else into it, For the Evulz, and sets off a massive war by killing the god everyone loved. In Kami Aso, though, Loki had to kill Baldr because Baldr was fated to transform from the God of Light into the God of Destruction - something about balance. But Loki was actually in love with Baldr and didn't want to have to kill him. After some heartwrenching drama, and heartwarming moments as the rest of the Crossover Cosmology harem tries to save them, Baldr doesn't have to die in the end, and they can be happy together.

Sadly Mythtaken / int_83d41855	comment	Gargoyles's portrayal of most mythic beings, for example the Banshee causes deaths rather than just foretelling them and Sleipnir has four legs instead of eight. However Gargoyles does not claim to represent the myths, but rather the "real" events that evolved into the myths, so this is mostly deliberate. The various gods and such were clearly presented as being related to The Fair Folk of European folklore, in keeping with the show's world-spanning Crossover Cosmology. And not everything is different from the myths: for example, Anubis is quite neutral and emphatic about his nonpartisan role, not evil as in many modern stories. Also, the series' co-creator has explained that the error involving Sleipnir's legs was due to the animation company being unable to animate an eight-legged horse, and presenting him as a four-legged one was better than not having him at all, or just using crappy animation. He stated he would've greatly preferred an eight-legged horse, but had no choice. So, he hand waves as best he can in his mind: like all the other Third Race, the horse is also a shapeshifter.

Sadly Mythtaken / int_897870a2	comment	A Total War Saga: TROY: While the mythological units in Mythos mode are for the most carefully researched and accurately depicted, a number of goofs — some mostly cosmetic, and some quite noticeable — turn up. The portrayal of the giants draws traits from two types of beings that were very distinct in Greek myth. For the most part, they're based on the various types of giant barbarians that crop up in numerous Greek myths, epic cycles and geographies, which were mostly just very big and savage people. However, some of their traits, such as their scaled legs and their Children of Gaia trait, are based on the Gigantes, a group of very powerful and inhuman beings who were spawned by Gaia and were able to fight the gods one-on-one. Outside of sharing their modern names, these types of giants had nothing to do with one another in the source material (indeed, the Gigantes only started to be depicted as large-sized fairly late in history). The Corybantes are depicted as a unit of hulking humanoid lions. In Greek myth, the Corybantes were simply human worshippers of Cybele, and nothing resembling the in-game unit actually exists. The Spartoi are depicted as mouthless, cracked constructs of living stone. In mythology, the only explicitly unusual things were their origin and combat prowess — they were otherwise regular, flesh-and-blood human warriors, to the point of being capable of fathering children with regular people.

In fact, one instance in 1 Samuel where the Israelites tried to use it as a weapon merely caused the Ark to get very angry at their disrespect and let them lose the battle. Given the Ark simply wiped out the Nazis who opened it, though, perhaps the part of retaliating against its owners was indeed noted. In Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, the Sankara stones are depicted as rare artifacts, and are referred to as The Sankara Stones. In the film, there are only five. But these stones are lingams, which can be any stone dedicated to Shiva or meant to represent Shiva. The "Holy Grail as granter of eternal life" plot of The Last Crusade is not based on the Bible or later Christian tradition either. The writers came with it after toying with the idea of having Indy find the Holy Grail in the Action Prologue and then go to look for some version of the Fountain of Youth in the movie proper. Somebody suggested mixing the two, and the rest is (movie) history. The Holy Grail itself, in this movie and many other movies and stories, is a prime example. First of all, the term "Holy Grail" originally referred to an object, not clearly defined, probably a bowl, but definitely not a cup, that was wholly (no pun intended) fictional, purely a literary device. At some point, it somehow became conflated with the Holy Chalice, the cup that Christ drank from at the Last Supper, which was offhandedly mentioned in the bible, but as nothing more or less than what it was: a cup. The Christian religion has no significant tradition regarding the Holy Chalice, merely saying that it is Holy by virtue of the fact that Christ handled it, so in the same sense that Christ's sandals could be called "The Holy Sandals". According to Christian tradition, there appears to be two Holy Grail legends. The first Grail legend states that it is the cup that Jesus used at the Last Supper to turn water and wine into his blood. The 2nd Grail legend states that the cup belonged to Joseph of Arimathea, a disciple, who was at the Crucifixion. When Longinus, a Roman centurion, pierced Jesus' side with his lance to make sure that he was dead, Joseph used the cup to catch the blood of Jesus in it as it rained down from above him. In Dial of Destiny Both Greeks and Romans imagined dragons as giant, constricting, venomous snakes - and not a fiery, flying beast.

In modern times, she is almost always portrayed as a wise and strictly neutral or even helpful character, who might hinder or assist the protagonist of a given tale. The screenwriters seem to have confused Baba Yaga with a similarly-named entity known as Babay, or babayka, who are primarily known for snooping around homes to lure and kidnap children who don't go to sleep when they're told to. If anything, the babay seems closer in description to the boogeyman than Baba Yaga does. Ironically, one antagonist that Baba Yaga often helps heroes deal with is a figure whose description fits John Wick almost perfectly, Koschei the Deathless.

This is reinforced by the fact that the only fallen angels we see are ones who procreated with humans to create the Nephilim (as recorded in the Book of Enoch). According to the book though, the angels did not fall because of lust for human women, but because they were supposed to watch over the Garden of Eden and instead tempted Eve with the apple so that they could lay claim to Earth. We later find out that the fallen angels get shots at both becoming a guardian angel (saving a human life) or becoming a human (killing a Nephilim), the latter situation allegedly having been recorded in the Book of Enoch. There is no such story there, and in fact the Book makes it very clear that the fallen angels have absolutely no chance of redemption at all.

Sadly Mythtaken / int_96898b78	comment	Son of the White Horse has some leeway since it's not an adaptation, more of a mixture of dozens of related old European folk tales and creation myths, with nods to Nordic and Asian legends. It works on a surface level, especially since in-depth analyses of its source material are rather rare and obscure. But certain folklorists, including one of the film's own consultants, say its faults lie in its astrological and cosmological symbolism: taking one character's role from one take on the base story, another one's from a different version, completely reinventing or merging different characters but keeping some of their original traits the same, resulting in a hodgepodge of contradicting sublime symbolism.

Sadly Mythtaken / int_989506be	comment	Rose Petals from a Vampire, a The Vampire Chronicles fanfic, introduces an ancient Egyptian male vampire love interest. Since Enkil and Akasha in the books were identified with Osiris and Isis, the author thought it would be a good idea to name said vampire after another Egyptian deity, Nephthys. Good idea, except that Nephthys is a goddess. It's not more wrong than identifying Enkil with an Egyptian god, which is right for the specific canon, but Enkil's just another spelling for a Babylonian god.

In Heroes of Might and Magic, Nagas are portrayed as the Dungeons and Dragons monster, Mariliths. In fact, Nagas and Garudas are presented as Anthropomorphic monsters often. Garudas have actually been brought back to their origins because this ties better with the possibility that they might be Ancient Astronauts. The third game also has "Gorgons" that are giant metallic bulls, just like in D&D.

Sadly Mythtaken / int_9c365ce8	comment	The story of Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Lightning Thief centers around a summer solstice deadline, but Persephone is shown living in the underworld with Hades—something that's supposed to happen during the fall and winter months. What makes it stand out more is that she does acknowledge that she gets time away from Hades... though exactly when that is never expanded on. Part of why this is especially aggravating is because in the book the movie claims to be based on this problem doesn't exist. Percy takes notice that Persephone's throne in the underworld is empty. Also the movie adds Everybody Hates Hades where in the books that trope is subverted, Hades may not be the friendliest dude, and can be kind of harsh, but fair and generally true to his word. In the original mythology Hades was actually the nicest god in the entire pantheon apart from Hestia. Not only that but the movie mentions that not only does Persephone hate Hades, but she has so many affairs that she had to come up with a way to get her lovers out without Hades finding out. Neither Hades nor Persephone ever had an affair in the original mythology (The story of Adonis actually features her as a mother figure rather than a lover, and Minthe and Leuce didn't exist in Greek Mythology all three stories are also Roman inventions) but Persephone is occasionally mentioned to prefer the company of Hades over that of her own mother.

Sadly Mythtaken / int_9db1766a	comment	Devil May Cry: The first game hits almost close to accurate with Alastor, a sword found impaled into a statue of the Judge of Death: in demonology, Alastor is the name given to the supreme arbiter of the court of Hell. Or, alternately, Hell's chief Executioner. Furthermore Alastor is a Greek term for "avenger", notably both a title given to Zeus and the name of a man executed by Zeus, which would explain the lightning attacks in the game. Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening: Although Cerberus is still a three-headed hound just like the guard dog of the Underworld in Classical Mythology, this Cerberus has ice powers, making him more of a Mythology Upgrade to his Divine Comedy counterpart. Agni and Rudra are no longer the Hindu gods of fire and the storm respectively, but instead sentient scimitars wielded by headless brutes. While Rudra in Hindu mythology does have a secondary rubric in storms (and thus connected to winds), his primary shtick is as an archer. The Hindu god of wind is Vayu. Beowulf, the hero of the Geats in the old English poem, is a dog-demon who later becomes gauntlets and greaves that glow with light in this series. Also, Beowulf's name and design really make no sense at all when you discover where his likeness came from. The inspiration for his design was Pazuzu (as confirmed in page 31 of the 3142 Graphic Arts artbook), a Babylonian demon of disease with a scorpion tail, two pairs of wings, claws on the feet and hands, and the face of a dog. Yet despite these, Capcom named him Beowulf, and described him a as demon of light. Geryon, the monster from Greek mythology is said to be a giant with three bodies, and then later described in The Divine Comedy as a winged beast with the tail of a scorpion but the face of a man, is really a massive time-stopping horse that draws a large carriage. However, the giant Geryon was a horse owner. Naming a succubus Nevan really doesn't make sense at all, as it would only when she's likened to a Leanan SÃdhe or Baobhan Sith. The Basilisks from Devil May Cry 4 are straight up Hellhounds rather than the snake-like beast from European legends. DmC: Devil May Cry: Poison the Succubus is supposedly a succubus, but this hideous, ever-puking example of Big Creepy-Crawlies has nothing in common with the sex demons succubi are traditionally supposed to be except perhaps being female. The mythological resemblance is only "partially" accurate, since in the original myths and medieval demonology texts, succubi were hideous beings that used Glamour to appear as beautiful women and seduce men in their sleep.

Sadly Mythtaken / int_a5e160e0	comment	Lucifer At one point a character makes the claim that "every religion has a devil who was originally a fallen angel." This is roughly on the same level of accuracy as claiming that every religion is monotheistic. Many religions have no Satan analogue, and most of the ones that do (aside from Christianity and Islam) don't depict that being as having been cast from Heaven - more commonly it's just an outside antagonist. Lucifer's psychiatrist, Linda, attempts an emotional breakthrough with Lucifer by invoking his past. She mentioned how he 'used to be known as Samael, the Lightbringer'. However 'Samael' actually means "Venom/Poison of God" and is not the same figure as Lucifer or Satan (though often compared to him due to being an adversarial angel, especially to Israel). It is the name LUCIFER that means 'Light Bringer'.

For the longest time, the Japanese wiki seemed to be under the impression that the bow belonging to the Norse God of Archery, Ullr, was called Ichaival, because Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War associates the bow with the crusader Ullr and her descendants. There's no mention of Ullr's bow name in the myth; the game was likely corrupting Ã�dalir (or "yew-dale"), Ullr's divine home, into Ichaival through language rendition (ã‚¤ãƒ�ã‚¤ = ichii/yew, ãƒ�ãƒ« = bal/val, "valley"). The name bleeds into other works like Symphogear through Pop Culture Osmosis.

Sadly Mythtaken / int_a81325d3	comment	Final Fantasy: Shiva is a goddess of ice and snow and not the eight-armed male Hindu god of destruction. However, this mythtake is explainable: "Shiva" is a pun on the phonetically similar "Shiver" (ice, snow, shiver — get it?). Revenant Wings plays around with this however in that there are 3 Shiva Summons. Shiva, Shivar and Shivan. (Shiva, Darling Shiva and Baby Shiva in the Japanese version) Shivar is male (and stated to be Shiva's lover, while Shivan, again female, is her child). Several Final Fantasies also mess with Celtic mythology for a bit, including summons such as CÃº Chulainn and MÃ¡el DÃºin. This gets somewhat weird when it turns out MÃ¡el DÃºin (or Maduin, or Madeen, depending on the translator) is actually important to the plot in FFVI and FFIX. (It gets even weirder when the only instance of the halfway correct translation of the character's name is a recurring random enemy called "Maelduin," who is a blind fish). Odin: Odin and his steed Sleipnir, the latter of which keeps losing or gaining limbs with each interpretation. Odin himself always has both of his eyes, he has all of a sudden grown horns, and he is never found wielding his spear Gungnir, but rather the instant-kill sword Zantetsuken. At least he does use his spear in Final Fantasy IX. In most of his appearances, his summon does a die roll and on success it uses Zantetsuken ("Iron-Cutting Sword"), killing everything on the screen, and on failure uses Gungnir, which hits one random enemy for a fair amount of damage. Zantetsuken ("Iron-Cutting Sword") is a reference to Gram, given to Sigurd, broken, and when it was later reforged, it split the anvil in half. In Final Fantasy VII at least, he only uses the spear against enemies immune to instant death, there's no die roll involved. Final Fantasy VIII has the Guardian Force Quetzalcoatl (actually "Quezacotl" since there was only room for 9 letters), a bird-like Energy Being that shoots off lightning at foes. It was named after the Mesoamerican god whose name means "Feathered Serpent" and was the patron god of wisdom, knowledge, and the morning star. In Final Fantasy XI Garuda is shown as another female deity when all research points to Garuda being male. In Final Fantasy VII, a creature that is clearly a chimera is labeled as a harpy. However, this is a translation error; in Japanese, the creature is correctly identified as a Chimera. Bahamut is most famous for being the king of dragons in this series, and one of the most powerful summons ever. The actual Bahamut is a giant fish that supports the earth and has the head of a hippopotamus. However, in this case, Bahamut was borrowed from Dungeons and Dragons. Titan is an earth elemental, the only connection to the original myth being the name of its attack: Gaia's Wrath. Which is probably a complete coincidence.

Sadly Mythtaken / int_a9517b88	comment	God of War: The series does this with Greek mythology, generally making it Darker and Edgier while excising some of the squick. But it generally hits on the established personalities of the deities. God of War makes an all-too common mistake modern adaptations of Greek myths often make (mainly due to Values Dissonance): depicting the Greek pantheon as ruthless tyrants who oppress and abuse humanity. (In the myths themselves, the gods are complex figures who are sometimes helpful and sometimes cruel depending on the circumstance, but in general the Ancient Greeks believed the gods were benevolent and that mortals who were punished by the gods deserved it.) It's somewhat justified in the ending of the final game where it turns out all the gods, including Zeus, were infected by humanity's evils after Kratos opened Pandora's Box in the first game. Beyond the personalities of the gods, the games are full of things that are nowhere to be found in the original myths but can be generally excused for the sheer amount they get right and are later explained in lore. Pandora's Box imbues Kratos with power that allows him to fight Ares on equal footing. The Golden Fleece is... a pauldron... which allows Kratos to throw balls of energy... All right, moving on. Kronos being condemned to wander a desert carrying a mountain likewise is a completely new invention by the developers but is similar to punishments of other enemies of the Olympians such as Prometheus being bound to a boulder and having his intestines eaten by a bird (maybe an eagle) only to regenerate/revive to be disemboweled the next day, Sisyphus being forced to push a boulder up a hill for eternity, and Atlas being condemned by Zeus to hold up the sky forever. Typhon was not a Titan in the original mythology. He was a monstrous enormous beast, the only being Zeus feared and almost singlehandedly overthrew him, but was defeated. However, his birth varies Depending on the Writer. Some stories have him as the son of Gaia with no father, born out of Gaia's rage at the Giants she sired being destroyed by Hercules and the gods. Other stories have Typhon as the son of Hera and only Hera. In another story, Typhon is born from Kronos semen being smeared across two rocks at the request of Hera, because she was angry at Zeus at the time. In none of these stories is Typhon a Titan. But it can be excused as Typhon was born, in a unorthodox way, from entities that were titans or had relations to titans, him being born from Kronosâ€™ sperm can be used to depict Typhon as a monstrous Titan, as well as him being born by Gaiaâ€™s rage as her sexual relations to Uranus created the earliest generation of Titans. God of War (PS4) does a similar spin with Norse Mythology. For example, both the myths and the game has Baldur be associated with light and invulnerable to all things save for mistletoe. But while the former is so bright and beautiful that light shines off of him and was granted his invulnerability by his mother getting nearly everything in existence to swear to not hurt him, the latter is noticeably capable of Super-Speed and driven mad by his invulnerability because his mother caused it by casting a spell without his consent that had the side-effect of utterly removing his ability to feel, and the mistletoe vulnerability is because all Vanir spells have some sort of required weakness. The sequel God of War RagnarÃ¶k also has the giant eagle Hraesvelgr made female and conflated with Hel, the humanoid goddess who rules over Helheim (the Norse Underworld). Though worth pointing out is that she actually wants to step down from her position and give the title to someone else after Ragnarok has eventually passed.

The first vampire was Striga (which is a Romanian word that can mean a vampire, but is more commonly a type of witch), the giants of Niflheim and Muspelheim are on friendly terms (in Norse mythology they spent nearly as much time killing each other as the gods), trolls are color-coded giants with a Healing Factor (though no one can agree on what trolls should be anyway), and the angels have six Names after the archangels—Gabriel, Jegudiel, Michael, Raphael, Uriel, and Lucifer (Lucifer was a title, the correct name would be Samael). Some of these are lampshaded in the text, but most are ignored, since the cultures have been going on for long enough that the locals remember them far more clearly than ancient myths.

Sadly Mythtaken / int_bac8c243	comment	The Mask: The movie refers to Loki as the Norse "god of darkness". Loki is not a god of darkness; the closest thing to a god of darkness in Norse Mythology is NÃ³tt, the personification of the night. Loki, is both a Jotun (the Norse giants) and a god, being listed as one of the Aesir in the Gylfaginning. He is one of mythology's Trickster Gods -like Ipkiss' Mask. He plays an incredibly crucial role in the myths -granted, a lot of problems he solved, he caused. In Son of the Mask, Loki is Odin's son (in the Norse myths, he's actually a Jotun fostered by the Aesir, of which Odin is the foremost) and sometimes Odin's blood brother. And the creators apparently didn't even bother to research the series' own "mythology", presenting Loki and the Mask as separate entities, while the original film established that Loki was trapped within the Mask.

For example, both the myths and the game has Baldur be associated with light and invulnerable to all things save for mistletoe. But while the former is so bright and beautiful that light shines off of him and was granted his invulnerability by his mother getting nearly everything in existence to swear to not hurt him, the latter is noticeably capable of Super-Speed and driven mad by his invulnerability because his mother caused it by casting a spell without his consent that had the side-effect of utterly removing his ability to feel, and the mistletoe vulnerability is because all Vanir spells have some sort of required weakness.

In actual folk tradition, he was only a not-very-powerful local ghost associated with the area around Windsor, and was either feared or despised rather than worshipped. There are no written records of the legend before it was used as a plot point by William Shakespeare in The Merry Wives of Windsor. Robin may have been influenced by earlier twentieth-century literary fantasies that treated him as more important, in particular John Masefield's The Box Of Delights and Susan Cooper's series The Dark is Rising.

While far from the first to make this error, it became the most popular, causing no shortage of people familiar with mythology to tear their hair. In an odd inversion, it's well-known amongst the fanbase that "alicorn" does not refer to a winged unicorn but a horn's material. Fans ignore it and use "alicorn" anyway because it sounds cool, to the point where it's become Ascended Fanon. Prior to Friendship Is Magic, fans often used "unipeg", "pegacorn", or just "winged unicorn" to refer to such ponies. In European folklore, a changeling is a fairy child left by fairies in place of a stolen human infant. In the show, they're insectoid equines capable of innate shapeshifting. "Three's A Crowd": The tatzlwurm is based on the tatzelwurm from Alpine folklore, a mythical hybrid said to have the head and forepaws of a cat with the long scaly tail of a snake. The one in the show is instead a huge Sand Worm very obviously based on the Graboids from Tremors. "P.P.O.V.": In Aboriginal myth and Australian folklore, bunyips are ferocious and very dangerous predators found in freshwater bodies such as swamps and rivers. In this episode, the tri-horned bunyip encountered at the end is a peaceful, friendly herbivore found in the sea.

So the Conan the Cimmerian stories are liberally sprinkled with historical and mythical names for characters and places that don't necessarily relate to the narrative context. In some cases (particularly with the Aesir and the Vanir tribes) that what we know of ancient mythology is actually half-remembered tales of real events from the Hyborean Age. So in the Conan universe, we're all guilty of this trope.

Sadly Mythtaken / int_d1fbfbbc	comment	The Twilight Saga: In Twilight, Meyer describes varacolaci as being "a powerful undead being who could appear as a beautiful, pale-skinned human", while they are more famously known as wolf demons that cause solar and lunar eclipses by swallowing the sun and moon respectively. They also appear as dry pale-skinned humans, not beautiful. In Breaking Dawn and Midnight Sun, Meyer cites the incubus and succubus as vampires who are known in mythology as being promiscuous and seduced women and men, respectively. Both of them were demons who were believed to be the cause of nightmares and wet dreams. Also in Breaking Dawn, the cleaning lady at Bella and Edward's honeymoon site believes that Edward is a "libishomen", described as "a blood-drinking demon who preys exclusively on beautiful women". In reality, the lobisomem (the real name of the "libishomen" in Brazilian Folklore) is the Iberic version of the werewolves, and while they do drink blood in oral tradition, they are never said to target beautiful women in any way, at the very most pregnant women. One of those is actually justified; Edward implied that myths about incubi were made up by humans based on vampires like him. The other cases are valid, though, and there was also a mention of 'actual' werewolves that operate on 'full moon and silver bullets' logic. The silver bullets are more of a Hollywood concept.

Sadly Mythtaken / int_d2cd3b5e	comment	In Nomine: The Words and interests of the Princes whose names were drawn from real-life demonology and religion were assigned more or less at random, and often don't really match their traditional associations. For instance, Asmodeus is Hell's inquisitor instead of being the ruler of Lust, which instead in the charge of Andrealphus, who in medieval demonology oversaw geometry and measuration. A number of demons drawn from the Ars Goetia also lack their associations present there — in addition to Andrealphus, Haagenti was associated with the transmutation of substances but is here the Prince of Gluttony, Furfur is a metalhead rocker rather than a deer-like figure who creates weather and storms, and Malphas is a patron of factionalism and paranoia rather than a creator of buildings and fortresses. Kronos is also depicted as being concerned with manipulating human lives for the worse instead of being a deity of time. The primary exceptions are Mammon, who retains his traditional association with the sin of Greed; Valefor, a Goetic demon who tempeted people into theft and is here the patron of thievery as a concept; and Vapula, another Goetic figure associated with philosophy, mechanics, and science and who is here the Prince of Technology. The Archangels hew closer to their sources, overall — Michael retains his status as Heaven's great warrior and (original) general of the Host, Gabriel is still Heaven's messenger and herald of the Final Battle, and so on.

Sadly Mythtaken / int_d5b6d7cd	comment	There are several liberties taken for some mythological deities in Smite: Poseidon is capable of releasing the Kraken. In truth, Kraken is a creature from the Norse mythology and while Poseidon has control over a sea creature (like in the Andromeda tale), it's more usually a Sea Serpent. Kraken was shoehorned in to make a reference to Clash of the Titans. Neith is a goddess of many things, including being war goddess, hunting goddess, weaving the universe. What becomes a liberal interpretation is that in here, Neith is extremely bubbly and cheerfully cute. Vulcan is shown to still be resentful over Juno (Hera) casting him off Olympus when he's still an infant. As a result, he instead locks himself in his forge and makes as many items as he can in a vain attempt to ease that hatred, abandoning his wife Venus. In most other series, we usually see Vulcan as the decent guy whose wife is just plain unfaithful despite his love, but here, he's not completely guiltless. Aphrodite is revealed to have cheated a lot because she was being abandoned by Hephaestus (read above, Hephaestus is Vulcan's Greek counterpart), in order to feel that she's not a worthless wife. And to top this off, Aphrodite turns out to be genuinely remorseful over her winning Paris' favor that resulted the Trojan War. Usually, we saw her as one of the less sympathetic goddesses for her unabashed cheating spree and probably was more content that she won Paris' favor and the title "The Fairest". Ao Kuang had this so much. For a Dragon King of the Eastern Seas, his skill set was more heavily around summoning storms and winds rather than water-based. His personality is kind of meek too, so it's not clear if it was during his time as a proud and cruel king, or after he received Humiliation Conga from Sun Wukong and Ne Zha. As a result, Ao Kuang was retired temporarily while his old skillset is transferred to the Mayan God Kukulkan (who is more wind-based) and he is set to return with a more humanoid new model and having more dragon-based (and slightly water-based) skills, including an execution. Under the five-elemental system of China, a rain-based skill set for such a character could possibly be more a matter of Shown Their Work. Especially since Wood, the element of the East, is associated with the ocean, and its patron symbol is a dragon. While it's counter-intuitive in terms of what we might think of as an 'element', rain is associated with Wood/Tree element, rather than Water. The Chinese 'elements' are types of changes, rather than types of substance. Wood represents growth, precipitation, and cool, gentle-yet-powerful movements — traits associated with Wind under Greek philosophy, and most definitely associated with the ocean and dragons in Chinese. Speaking of Kukulkan, a few of his default voice lines have him talking about human sacrifice despite the fact that there's no evidence he took human sacrifices (at the very least, his more famous Aztec counterpart Quetzalcoatl didn't). Mulan has achieved apotheosis in the game's lore, while in the original ballad she stays a regular mortal human even after she dies. What makes it even more ironic is that her ballad has very minimal divine or supernatural elements to the point that her story ends up feeling way more historical than mythical.

Sadly Mythtaken / int_dd3fe595	comment	The characters of Atlas Shrugged use the idea of Atlas holding up the celestial sphere as a model of great men being constrained by the demands of lesser beings. If Atlas ever got tired of the weight, all he'd have to do is shrug it off and it'd be the end for them, right? Well, in the original myth, Atlas was holding up the sky, and he was doing so at the command of the gods, as punishment for siding with the Titans in the Titanomachy. For added giggles, this had the side effect of preventing Gaia from doing the nasty with Ouranos and creating more problems for the gods. Additionally, shrugging off the weight without someone else to hold it for him (like Heracles in one of the myths) would only result in Atlas and everyone getting the sky dropped on them. Ironically enough attempting to "Go Galt" and separate yourself from the rest of society in real life can have similar messy consequences since many of those other beings are responsible for ensuring that "great men" have nice things (Who Cleans Galt's John?). In any event, Atlas was eventually turned to stone by Perseus anyway, making the shrugging a moot point.

Sadly Mythtaken / int_e04a31c8	comment	In The Gospel of Loki, Joanne Harris offers her own spin on Norse Mythology. Harris clearly knows her source material very well, and sticks very closely to the recorded mythology. However, she does occasionally change things: The idea that reversing or flipping a rune changes its meaning stems from the late 18th century Armenian Futhark runes, not the historical Germanic/Scandinavian runes. The "bastard" rune on Maddie's hand is supposed to be the Aesc/Aesk ("ash tree") rune; however, the rune illustrated in-story is not Aesc, but Ã“s (the historical Anglo-Saxon "god" rune). The real-life Aesc/Aesk rune is identical in appearance to the Elder Futhark Ansuz rune. (Long story short, the "broken" Ã“s rune took Ansuz's place as the "god" rune in Anglo-Saxon lore, while Ansuz was renamed Aesc/Aesk and was moved further down the aett list.) Dagaz, the rune of "day" is somehow associated with the thunderbolt, when it is actually the rune of transformations and new beginnings. Iar is affiliated with the world serpent (its stanza mentions rivers while the name "Iar" is Old English for eel, a common kenning for the World Serpent) and boundaries, not industry and building. Berkana is the rune of the birch tree and nurturing/fertility, not revelation. Kaen, on the other hand, is the rune of insight and revelation as well as creative fire (it is the "torch" rune), not wildfire or Loki. Thurisaz is not the rune of victory: that title belongs to the Tiwaz/Tyr rune. Historically, Thurisaz is the rune of destruction, misery, and the JÃ¶tnar, and was often used to curse on one's enemies. Its association with Thor started with the Armenian runes, stemming mainly from it being vaguely-hammer-shaped, and it being the first letter of Thor's name. Sleipnir is a strawberry roan, even though Gylfaginning describes him as grey. Odin's son Vidar has been left out of the book, but his epithet "The Silent God" is ironically applied to Odin's brother Honir. Vidar was also supposed to kill Fenrir, but in the book Thor does it.

When Thoth used angelic ranks to classify the Hands of Aten (which locked their power levels), however, he used "cherubim" for the lowest rank. The reason? Ever since Raphael, humans have associated "cherub" with winged babies (which themselves are derived from the Greek Erotes), and so the idea has more resonance than "cherubim" as kick-ass angel warrior, trapping the Hands thus named in a weakened state.

Sadly Mythtaken / int_eb9e3429	comment	The Mummy Returns has Anubis as a "dark god". To make it even worse, someone was described as selling his soul to Anubis. Anubis carries all the souls of the dead to the underworld, but he isn't in possession of those souls, nor is there any equivalent of hell in the Egyptian afterlife (undeserving souls are simply fed to a monster; yes, it sounds awful, but think about this: it's not eternal).

Sadly Mythtaken / int_ecee4546	comment	The Librarians 2014 season four episode "And the Steal of Fortune" states that Jupiter had a contest between his four favorites (Minerva, Mars, Saturn and Fortuna) to see who would rule over humanity. Fortuna is a minor goddess in Roman Mythology, and Saturn is the father Jupiter deposed. Neither would be considered his favorites, or a candidate for such a contest.

Sadly Mythtaken / int_ed2a7866	comment	Sword Art Online explains that this trope is from the Cardinal System, a type of artificial intelligence that controls the eponymous MMORPG (and later Alfheim Online). It scours human mythology for various characters, items, and tropes; then throws them into barely recognizable, randomly generated quest-lines to keep things interesting for the players.

Sadly Mythtaken / int_f10a65b	comment	Legends of Tomorrow: The Big Bad Duumvirate of the fifth season are the Greek Fates (Moirai), consisting of Lachesis and Atropos (the remaining one, Clotho, is a member of the Legends under the nickname Charlie). The series nails it when describing each of the Fates' functions; Clotho is the spinner of life, Lachesis is the measurer, and Atropos is the cutter. However, Lachesis is depicted as the oldest of the sisters, both figuratively and literally. In Greek myths, it's actually Atropos who is the oldest.

Sadly Mythtaken / int_f1324a22	comment	The Happy Science film Hermes: Winds of Love features Eros as the son of the title character and Aphrodite after marrying, which is far from accurate to the original source material. While some of the original myths depict Eros as Aphrodite's son or created from the concepts of Dawn and Night, none of them depict Hermes as his father. Moreover, Happy Science probably took this license because they didn't want to deal with any implications that could come from the name of Hermes and Aphrodite's actual son, Hermaphroditus.

Sadly Mythtaken / int_f2041376	comment	Charmed: "The Wendigo" characterises the titular creature as more like a werewolf rather than the spirit that possesses people from First Nations mythology (this admittedly was something European colonisers did as well, corresponding it to their own myths about werewolves). Piper is turned into one by being bitten and, while humans could turn into wendigos in folklore, it was usually as a result of excessive greed or cannibalism (or being around them for too long). "Look Who's Barking" has the Banshee as something a witch can turn into, rather than a fairy species (the same season had done an episode on fairies). While in Irish folklore, a Banshee's appearance and cries foretold death, this one kills people with her cries and targets those who are already grieving. "Siren Song" - there's only one siren, and she's said to be the only one; a mortal woman who was killed for being the accomplice to adultery and then became a demon, rather than a human-bird hybrid (although later myths state that the sirens' bodies were seductive too). While she has the Compelling Voice, it only works on married men, and she has the power to burn the couples to death. In "Oh My Goddess!" it's said that the Greek gods were actually mortals the Elders infused with power in order to stop the Titans. This is not a problem in itself — the problem is that Gaea was stated to be one of these mortals, when in mythology she wasn't an Olympian, but the mother of the Titans.

Sadly Mythtaken / int_f4559fd1	comment	Kinnikuman blundered badly with this. Supposedly, there are lots and lots of gods out there of various planets, yet there's still Satan, and he's still the mastermind of all the Akuma Choujin/Demon Supermen. But Choujin don't go to Hell, they go to an underworld led by Choujin Enma. Then there's Ashuraman, who at least is correct in his depiction as a three-faced, six-armed individual. Of course, then we find out about his teacher, Samson Teacher who later becomes Satan Cross, one of the final Big Bad's subordinates, who displays similar similar anatomy but has no reference to biblical Samson or Satan at all.

This is a reference to Dante's Inferno, where the Ninth Circle is described as being incredibly cold.

However, St. Patrick's symbol is a three-leaved shamrock. This may seem pedantic, but the whole reason it's the symbol of St. Patrick is because there were three leaves on it - he supposedly used the three leaves to illustrate the Holy Trinity.
