Wow, Liliana's kiss scene was so passionate and delicious. She's a serious contender to be my favourite character, replacing Erica. Well, that's only because she's taken a backseat these past few shows.

Always love the words of power scenes, Lili was hilarious. Entertaining ep.

I was expecting when Godou finally learned Perseus origin, he will begin to dual wield.

Shame he didn't, I thought it would be amusing if it happened. I like the kisses in this anime.

One of the Hottest kiss scene ever!!
Liliana is soo cute and Moe!!

Man a lot of people started liking Liliana more than Erica after this episode XD
I know their feelings, but I'm sure she's not that much ahead of Erica, it only seems so since Erica hasn't had any screen time for a while.

For me personally I like them both on the same level now.

Every empire in history has incorporated some elements of their conquered denizens into their mythos from time to time. The fact that the empire is dominant does not mean that a cultural exchange won't happen the other way if only to provide some cultural continuity within the empire.

The most famous ruler to use incorporation as a political weapon and governing tool in conquest was - of course - Alexander the Great.

After Alexander's empire fell, the Romans, and the Caesars in particular, modeled their own governorship of conquered peoples after Alexander, allowing indigenous autonomy at a local level while dominating those same people on a cultural level almost without their knowledge.

When the Romans incorporated Greece, they famously declared that their religions were - in fact - one and the same, thus spawning the "Roman-Greco" tradition. Of course, nobody doubted that it was the Roman interpretation of the religion which dominated the empire.

You'll notice the same thing in the United States, where the Christians have famously declared the same of Judaism, a "Judeo-Christian" tradition in America, even though nobody doubts that American Christianity is the dominant power.

Similarly, the Romans glorified Mithras when they conquered the Parthian Empire; Mithras became a heroic icon while at the same time he was "demoted" beneath Jupiter. In America, Batman took on elements of Japan's ninjas a few decades after the US conquered and incorporated Japan into its empire. He has since become popular in Japan as well, and through him, generations of Japanese children have learned American principles of morality and philosophy which were once alien in Japan before its conquest.

There is nothing more effective in changing and dominating another culture than to use their own religious idols and cultural icons as teaching assistants around which a new generation can rally.

I still like this anime but I can't help but feel they're missing some major points. The action sequences sometimes make me feel like Godou is just lucking out everywhere (although "fortune" is something repeatedly emphasized in the LN) instead of earning his stripes...Are they saving the budget or something? Because even the LN descriptions are outshining the anime at this point during battles and animes are supposed to be better on that front.

Also, not sure why they deviated from the LN just a little bit on the kissing part and the Perseus-killing part. Not that animes can't innovate, I simply don't see how these small changes make any difference.

Liliana was cute though, and so was the harem-rage scene at the end.

It would be illogical if it were otherwise.

If history were written by the losers, we'd be ruled by culturally and technologically primitive Cavemen. In such a fantasy, there would be no printers to control.

Oh, yes, I agree. But I guess what I was trying to say in an off-handed way was that the winner's version of history is usually not what happened.

I liked the kiss(es) on the novel more, with the people on the street cherring for them after ~10 mins of kissing :3
Also the fight didn't live up to what I expected it lacked Godou sandwiching Perseus between the floor and the <Boar>, and of course, the <Boar> going rampant!

Oh, yes, I agree. But I guess what I was trying to say in an off-handed way was that the winner's version of history is usually not what happened.


And I guess what I am trying to say is that - even assuming that's true - the loser's version of history is even less reliable.

For example, contrary to what Parthians (and present day Iranians) thought at the time, they did indeed lose the war to the Romans as did many of Alexander's enemies-turned-allies. The fact that their conquerors allowed them face-saving political graces does not change that.

In fact, it is often argued that today's "popular history" usually sides with the losers even though the facts speak for the winners. That is the reason why popular history is corrupt and is almost entirely filled with cheap platitudes and empty cliches rather than serious documentation.

But once you get into the down and dirty "contemporary, primary source material", you find that there's a reason why the losers lost in the first place. They might have been technologically inferior to a technologically superior culture. They might have had a corrupt political system, one that is far more debilitating when compared to its enemy's. It might have an inefficient economic system which does not encourage production nor innovation, and fails to pace itself against a superior economic power. It may be a combination of all of the above and more.

Why did my dad make oodles more money than any number of homeless people on welfare? Why did he win and why did they lose?

History written by the Loser: He got rich by stealing from the poor. He got lucky. He doesn't deserve his money. He should give it "back" to the poor. Society is to blame. It's not my fault, it's his fault. I don't need to prove any of this because everyone knows it's true.

History written by the Winner: He has a Master's in Electrical engineering and a 30-year resume of experience in multiple fields to include "Systems engineering" and his own stints as Project Manager. He's built a reputation and knowledge base over those years to the point where he can dictate his own hours in consultation if he wanted to. Employers go to him even in this economy, not the other way around. He saved his money and invested smartly for the long term. His family is immensely proud of him and he's taught his children well, never in want nor lacking in discipline. All of which can be attested to by his colleagues and loved ones and a mountain of documentation from business receipts and credit referrals to engineering simulation software and prototypes.

I think I know which "history" I believe more.

In real life, you'll see any number and versions of these competing themes. One history is BS, the other stands on its own two feet. And even if people refused to acknowledge the truth, does it really change anything? Any company that would hire a homeless man over people like my dad would be out of business in no time flat. The "real deal" might even build a competing business just to blow the bums out of the water. Could you prevent the winners from winning for the sake of the losers? A society that does that consistently is inevitably going to lose...DUH.

That's why the facts almost never speak for losers. They're losers for a reason. And if a society, a culture, a people, don't want to be losers, it's best not to listen or adopt the "history" and attitude of a Loser.

Again...DUH. ^_-

Oh, that isn't directed at you; I could tell you were the choir, not the heretic.

Sorry if I miscommunicated my intentions ^_-.

My bad.

But there are inevitably people who think in the opposite terms. Everyone fails, but the ones who succeed get back on the horse and ride it out. However, the people on the opposite side of the spectrum give up and start rationalizing reasons why they're not to blame for their own failures; they pretend that they're Winners who are being held down by "other(s)" looking for scapegoats. But the truth is they're just Losers who've taken the easy way out.

It's the way of the world.

You're a Winner or a Loser of your own making. Only a Loser would believe otherwise.

My, such an awesome series of passionate kisses. Not one, not two. But five(!) kisses! And with this, Liliana officially joins Godou's harem. Lili's expressions are so cute...! Ah, why couldn't she have been the first main female character? Now I feel like rooting for her all the way even if we all know Erica is already his choice by default...

Even Athena gets in on the action and steals two(!) kisses for herself. She did have her pretexts, though.

I wasn't expecting this anime to be worth watching in the end, but a few episodes limited to Athena and Liliana actually made a few episodes worth watching.
With this arc over, I fear the anime will return to it's usual self now though, hopefully the next harem element will be remotely interesting; though my pessimism isn't allowing me to expect much.

You could always dig up a few books on ancient mythology and work it out. I'll say that there is at least a fair amount that is 'legit'.


Nah~ Too lazy :D

I know there's a fair amount of legit facts...but I really want to know if ALL of it are true :D


I'm gonna say no. They got the names and origins of the gods right, but they made up the backstories in this show. Cause I'm pretty sure Athena and Medusa are separate characters in (legit) Greek mythology. Perseus cut off Medusa's head and presented it to Athena, she then put her head on her shield.

And the name Perseus doesn't mean "from the east" or "from Persia." From what I found it means "to ravage, sack, destroy, etc.

In the series' mythology, Athena and Medusa are different characters as well.Their origin is the same.What Heretic Athena wants is the return to that origin.

Persia was symbolizing the east back then.

What the series is trying to say is that all myths had an origin and people that created each land's myths were using already known myths etc.

For example,in the series, the serpents/dragons that heroes/gods like Perseus killed and the maidens he saved were the same being.What he was doing was taking them as a trophy.That was later romanticized in hem saving damsels in distress.

What is good about the series(the novel) is that when the explanation of myths kicks in, it makes you think "It makes sense" even if they have not legit IRL.
