Saint Seiya SS: Silver Saint Seiya's name origin and archetype of the Holy Cloak

author:Zephyr anime

The Silver Saint Seiya are the second-level Saint Seiya in the Sacred Domain, and they follow the instructions of the Sacred Domain and travel to various places to complete their missions.

Although they don't have much ink in the comics, they still have a certain degree of exposure. Below, I will introduce the origin of the name of the Silver Saint Seiya and the prototype of the Holy Cloak in the Saint Seiya SS.

Aquila Magic Bell

Saint Seiya SS: Silver Saint Seiya's name origin and archetype of the Holy Cloak

The magic bell "Marin" means "mediterranean sea breeze". This may have something to do with her flowing way of fighting, or it may be the name that Masami Cheda has set at random.

The legend of Aquila originates from Ganimedis, who was attracted to the illusory eagle of Zeus and became a divine attendant, and his commonly used aquarius was transformed into Aquarius. Overall, the connection between the myth of Aquila and the Cloak is decent.

Sarna the Ophiuchus

Saint Seiya SS: Silver Saint Seiya's name origin and archetype of the Holy Cloak

Sharna "Shaina", which is of Yiddish origin, means "beautiful". Applying it to female characters with more drama should not have much meaning except to fit.

The star chart of the constellation Ophiuchus generally depicts a man holding a giant serpent, representing the divine physician Asclepius. Today's Ophiuchus has also entered the ecliptic, and Masami Cheda has drawn the Ophiuchus Golden Sacred Cloak in her new work.

Lizard constellation Mesti

Saint Seiya SS: Silver Saint Seiya's name origin and archetype of the Holy Cloak

Mesti "Misty", mostly used in female names, means "shrouded in mist", which is very suitable for this saint who is extremely narcissistic about his appearance and manipulates the air flow to fight.

The prototype of the Sacred Cloak has two theories " " Scorpius " and "Lizard " , but this is a constellation not supported by legends , but was delineated in 1687 by the Polish astronomer Hevelu.

Cetus Moses

Saint Seiya SS: Silver Saint Seiya's name origin and archetype of the Holy Cloak

Moses "Moses" originated from the prophet Moses who led the Israelites through the divided sea and escaped the enslavement of the Egyptians. Why the name is not clear, is it related to the sea?

The mythological archetype of Cetus is a sea monster with a large mouth and a snake-like tail with a large mouth and a snake-like tail, and forefoots like a land creature. The cloak is just set to be a whale.

Adrian The Hound

Saint Seiya SS: Silver Saint Seiya's name origin and archetype of the Holy Cloak

Adrian "Asterion" is the name of one of the two dogs led by the Greek myth of the shepherd, and the other is called "Chara", which is a very suitable name.

The star chart of The constellation Canis is often depicted as the stick carried by the constellation Shepherd, misinformed as a Hound. Finally, in 1687 it was delineated as a separate constellation by the Polish astronomer Hevillo.

Centauri Babel

Saint Seiya SS: Silver Saint Seiya's name origin and archetype of the Holy Cloak

Babel is the name of an ancient city in legend, and in Hebrew "Babel" means "chaos". The story of the "Tower of Babel" is more familiar.

The prototype of centaur is the legendary biological centaur, which seems to have little to do with Babel. The shape of the holy robe is also very clear, that is, the appearance of a centaur.

Raven Kimian

Saint Seiya SS: Silver Saint Seiya's name origin and archetype of the Holy Cloak

Kimian "Jamian", the name first appeared in Hebrew, meaning "the right hand of grace", should be just a random name.

The constellation Raven originated from a lazy and lying crow raised by the sun god Apollo. The shape of the holy robe is also the appearance of a crow, and it is not too new.

Perseid Aruga Road

Saint Seiya SS: Silver Saint Seiya's name origin and archetype of the Holy Cloak

Argor, derived from the star "Algol" in the constellation perseus, meaning "demon", is known in China as "DaLing V", and is the second brightest star in the constellation perseus.

The shape of the perseus's holy garment is very clear, that is, it is taken from the hero Perseus who killed Medusa in the myth of Perseus, and the shield of Medusa has become its strongest weapon.

Auriga Gabila

Saint Seiya SS: Silver Saint Seiya's name origin and archetype of the Holy Cloak

Gabila "Capella", which originates from the star "Capella" in the constellation of Perseus, means "Little Goat", known in China as "Five Cars two", is the sixth brightest star in the whole day.

There are many legends about the Occidental Seat, but none of them are related to motorists. But the shape of the sacred robe is just a sheep cart, but the wheel as a weapon frisbee is quite innovative.

HellHound Dante

Saint Seiya SS: Silver Saint Seiya's name origin and archetype of the Holy Cloak

Dante "Dante", which is immediately reminiscent of the Italian medieval poet and author of the Divine Comedy, is indeed a name associated with hell.

Hellhound is derived from the three-headed Hell Watchdog in Greek mythology. Unfortunately, it was canceled when the International Astronomical Union accurately classified the whole day as constellation 88.

Dior theos

Saint Seiya SS: Silver Saint Seiya's name origin and archetype of the Holy Cloak

Dior "Dio", more famous is the one who "I don't do people" in "Jojo's Wonderful Adventure"... The name doesn't seem to have any special meaning.

Originally called Bee, french astronomer Lachai changed its name to Southern Flies in 1763, echoing the northern constellation of The Northern Flies. After the northern constellation was abolished, it was changed to the constellation of Flies.

Canis Major Schlieu

Saint Seiya SS: Silver Saint Seiya's name origin and archetype of the Holy Cloak

Sirius is the name of Sirius. Sirius is one of the stars in the constellation Ofis Majoris, the brightest star of the day except the Sun, and has been recorded extensively in various ancient civilizations.

There are also many myths and stories about The constellation Canis Major, but all of them are related to hounds. The sacred garment also follows the design of the hound image in terms of shape, and has not made too many innovations.

Valcario Alujadi

Saint Seiya SS: Silver Saint Seiya's name origin and archetype of the Holy Cloak

Alujay "Argeti", which originates from the star "Ras Algethi" in the constellation of Wuxian, has a very handsome name in China "Throne", and it is also considered in Greek mythology to be the head of the hero Hercules.

The myth of the Martial Immortals is derived from the extremely famous hero Hercules in Greek mythology, who completed the twelve great feats. The shape of the holy robe is also a reference to the image of Hercules.

Aquila Drimi

Saint Seiya SS: Silver Saint Seiya's name origin and archetype of the Holy Cloak

Drimi "Tramy", the meaning of the name seems to have some relationship with bows and arrows, but I have not found relevant information, please know the advice of friends.

The myth of Aquila is derived from the heroic arrow of Hercules to save Prometheus, or the arrow of Eros. A single arrow is not easy to design, so Masami Cheda has very carefully designed the sacred robe to look like holding a divine arrow.

Aristoll Daedalus

Saint Seiya SS: Silver Saint Seiya's name origin and archetype of the Holy Cloak

Daedalus, the name taken from Greek mythology, was given to Daedalus, a skilled craftsman who built a labyrinth for King Minoan of Crete, and his name also refers to "labyrinth".

The Throne of The Immortals originated from King Kefus of Ethiopia, who, in order to appease the wrath of the Sea Emperor, tied his daughter to a boulder in the sea with a rope, which is also used in cartoons. The appearance, name, and strength of The Throne vary in appearance, name, and strength in both the manga and anime.

Lyra Olufi

Saint Seiya SS: Silver Saint Seiya's name origin and archetype of the Holy Cloak

Orphee, named after the greek sun god Apollo, and Orpheus, the son of the goddess of literature and art, Kaliopa, had extraordinary artistic talent and was good at playing the piano.

Lyra's holy garment is shaped like a harp, and the experience of Olufi in the comics, much like the legend of Orpheus, is a sad story of the loss of a lover.
