The Argive Sword is a standard Greek sword and the trademark offensive weapon of the Legion of Argos.
Capabilities[]
The sword can cut or slice normal human enemies, but it was useless against the giant scorpions.
Design[]
The sword features a double-edged, wasp-waisted leaf-pointed blade with a pattern etched into the blade from tip to base, a horseshoe-like cross guard with studs on it, and a flat pommel.
Wielders[]
Appearances[]
The sword appears in the 2010 movie, being used by various Argive soldiers. It also makes an appearance in Clash of the Titans: The Video Game, where Perseus uses it to combat the various monsters he encounters.
In Wrath of the Titans, Perseus uses a variant that is bronze in color, but otherwise identical.
Trivia[]
- The design is based on the Hajdusamson sword, a Bronze Age sword discovered in the early 20th century as part of a hoard alongside several axe heads, in a vineyard 3.5km north of Hajdúsámson in eastern Hungary.[1]
- An iron-gray version of the sword can be seen in the 2006 film 300, in the hands of a Persian soldier.
