![]() ![]() There are series that don't just use singular characters that are based on myth, but an entire cast or story surrounding them. Unlike Medusa's Greek myth, Arachne's is a little less known, but it still counts! Arachne Gorgon also derives her name from myth as the woman who was turned into a spider by the goddess Athena after the goddess lost to Arachne in a weaving contest. But the real question is, why did they make a character based on this Greek Myth? Probably the same reason they needed another character that we’ll get to in a minute, for the sake of making something rather awesome! She's actually not the only character from the franchise to use Greek Myth for her namesake. Otherwise then that there’s not really anything else. What does Soul Eater Medusa have? The name and the snake thing mainly, except snakes are more the result of witchy magic rather then her actual hair. In Greek Mythology, Medusa was a Gorgon who had snake hair and would turn mortals into stone if you dare make eye contact. One series that decides to uses mythology in its characters is Soul Eater's Medusa Gorgon. Whether it’s one mythological character or a big cast of them, classic myths are certainly one way to make an anime interesting, and help you learn about myths along the way. Mythology is, probably, one of the things that seem to come up a lot in recent anime. ![]()
