Welcome back to the world of Saint Seiya! In the torrential rain that envelops the whole world, Poseidon, the god of the sea, leads his sea fighters to the scene! According to the author Masami Cheda, the Poseidon Shrine is located at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea, behind which is The Main Breadwinner, while the Seven Oceans are supported by seven pillars, each guarded by a sea general. In addition to the sea general, there are a large number of ordinary sea fighters, and all the sea fighters, including the miscellaneous soldiers, are wearing scales. The scales of the admirals are shaped from a variety of mythological figures or monsters related to the sea. Let's see what the Sea Fighters are capable of!

It is said that Glaucus is in love, and the goddess who fell in love is jealous of Skoura and adds poison to the bath water, turning her into a monster. Legend has it that her elders had six snake-like necks, each with a terrifying head on its neck, and three rows of shark teeth on each head. She has twelve tentacle-like legs, a cat's tail, and six dog heads around her waist, so she is also known as a six-headed monster. She and another sea monster (Charybdis) stand on either side of the Strait of Messina to devour the sailors of the passing ship. The city of present-day Italy (Scilla) bears her name, and legend has it that it is where she was born.

Knowing that he was not dead, he sent a cow fly to bite the heifer that had been bitten. Stinged all over the world to escape. She crossed the strait between Propontis (present-day Sea of Marmara), hence the name Bosporus (originally meaning the place where cattle passed, today). She escapes to meet Prometheus, who is locked there, saying that she will definitely transform back into human form and become the ancestor of the hero. Eventually she fled to Egypt and was transformed back into human form, giving birth to sons (Epaphus) and daughters (Ceroessa). He later married the King of Egypt (Telegonus).
