The Fight with Gigas(Gigantomachia)
After Athena and her Saints went through many
Holy
Wars, Sanctuary was threaten by Gigas and the race of Giants.
About
the race of Giants, their origins can not be explained and their
existence
is veiled in mystery. But, their fighting capacity seems
to be far above Athena's Saints. In regards to Gigas, it was said
that
the King of the Underworld, Hades bought Gigas
from the world before the Big Bang and that, it was also the work
of
the Almighty God, Zeus.
* Because calling the fight with Gigas a Holy
War
did not encompass what actually happend, the fight was called
Gigantomachia.(In
Greek, Gigantomachia means "Fight with Giants".)
The Fight with Giants
According to Greek Myths, Gigantomachia was
the fight
forced by, the Land Goddess, Gaia, who secretly raised her Giants
in a cave in North Greece. Starting with Zeus, the Olympus Gods
compelled
a hard fight. And, a very interesting point in
Greek Myths is that the last remaining giant, Enceladus, was
defeated
by Athena.
The Sinking of the Mu Continent
The Mu Continent was regarded to be the
birthplace
for Cloths. Around the time of Gigantomachia, it sunk to the
bottom of
the Pacific Ocean.
As a consequence of this sinking, Cloths that
were
in production and the lifes of many alchemists were lost.
About the truth of the sinking of the Mu
Continent,
it is still uncertain.
Mu is of the People of the Mu Continent!?
As a consequence of the sinking of the Mu
Continent,
the Cloths in production and the skills to repair them and the
like
were lost. Because of that, now, the only one who can repair
Cloths
is Gold Saint, Aries Mu, who lives in Jamir. So, it can be
said that Mu is a descendant of the People of the Mu Continent...
The Fight with Ares
Among the many Holy Wars, the most severe was
the
one with War God, Ares. Amongest the Gods, Ares was the most
brutal. Ares
planted seeds of discord all over the world and instigated wars
amongst
people.
The army of Ares have 4 divisions, "Flame",
"Fire",
"Terror", and "Calamity." They were called
Berserkers
for all their
[Crazed Fighters]
destruction and butchery.
Hades and Ares
According to Greek Myths, Hades was one of the
very
few who understood the cruel Ares. As a consequence of the wars
caused by Ares, many of the dead became inhabitants of the Hades
ruled
Underworld. And, it seems that Hades was pulling
the strings behind the scenes with the fight between Ares and
Athena.
Squirming in the background of the Holy War, what is Hades' purpose?
