Greek Mythology Anime

These anime reference Greek mythology: a collection of myths involving famous Greek gods, such as Zeus, Hades, and Athena; or stories of Greek mythological figures, such as Hercules, Odysseus, or Achilles. The anime can take place in Greece.

Saint Seiya: Knights of the Zodiac

In a world where gods reincarnate in human bodies, Athena is the Guardian of Earth. Together with her 88 Saints, she must protect Earth against other gods whose sole purpose is to take her position.

At this time, Athena, along with her bronze saints Seiya, Shiryu, Ikki, Hyoga and Shun, will have to fight the evil plans of a traitor among her midst who rejects her identity and appoints himself as the sole lord of Athena's saints.

Being the only ones behind the true Athena, Seiya and the others will have to carve a path through countless saints to uncover this impostor. A classic known and dubbed in Brazil as Cavaleiros do Zodíaco.
