He is a God of the Sun, Light and Arts(said to have mastered all arts), also a God of Magic and a Trickster, he is identified with Lugus and Lleu Llaw Gyffes(the guy which couldn't be killed unless at under very specific conditions). Most people equate Lugh also with Mercury(I have even seen that Mercury is Lugh modern disguise) and as Mercury is often identified with Hermes, I guess you could also identify him with Lugh. And obviously, in occult stuff, Hermes/Thoth is really famous(Hermeticism stuff). For the connection with Argonautica, remember that Argos itself should be considered? The thing is that the Irish sort of have their own Argonautica, the Sons of Tuirenn, which went over the world to collect Magic Items for Lugh. They used Lugh magic boat. The Argos could have influenced or been influenced by that boat(don't know which is older), so it would be 'genealogy'(which in this case is just as where the myths may have come from.). Quote:

I personally started liking it straight from about the first chapter on.
It might have been because I got into this right after reading Infinite Stratos (and perhaps a number of other harem series like it). Throughout all of IS, I was getting increasingly frustrated with Ichika's denseness and the inability of the girls to spit it out, so when I hit Campione and right off the bat was Erica, who easily and without a hint of shame or insincerity told Godou to his face that she's in love with him. Shame? Embarrassment? Even propriety? Erica literally had no fucks to give. She knew what she wants, and she's not shy about doing whatever it takes to hammer her feelings through Godou's thick head. That kind of assertive heroine was like a breath of fresh air to me, and she's stayed my favorite heroine of Campione throughout the story for that reason. |

And I think that by now he should have slowly gain some new authority since his authority have many conditions, and as was mentioned several times in the novel that campione who has more authorities, has greater chances of winning. For example, in the fight between Godou and Voban, if voban wouldn´t have decided to stop fight then Godou would have been defeated because voban still had some authority while Godou was already at zero. |

Huh... so I wasn't the only one who had that idea (even if yours seems sarcastic). Though there's a chance you and I have different thoughts - my idea is, if a Campione defeats the KotE, he becomes it instead, kind of like how John Pluto Smith inherited the role and duties of King of the Fairies. Well, this is an idea that I just thought up one time, so it probably is completely wrong.

In myths there is many ,,white" swords as Duradal, Excalibur, Balmung,... And i would guess that he will get him before fight with KotE. Does someone knows how it is with Copied Authorities which he get from Ame no Murakumo no Tsurugi (Body of Steel, Dragon's Roar and Tiger's Howl,...) can he use them any time or must meet the conditions for use?

Well, he needs to absorb an in-use authority, it's not a permanent absorption. Thus, for example, he can control magnetism on his own if he wants, as he has the sword 'absorb' the power of his Goat authority. But aren't Dragon's Roar/Tiger's Howl from Lu Hao? He'd need her around to do that. Etc.

Um, about the white sword, if the KotE isn't a title that the Campione wields upon defeating the previous one (which, though it would be interesting, is unlikely to happen), Godou will most likely not have the Divine Sword of Salvation (aka, KotE's sword). Why? Because of this from Volume 15:

im slightly confused about godou's hand to hand combat skills. it was previously mentioned earlier in this thread that he has no martial arts training, but i thought he had at least some training or experience, enough to handle himself in hand to hand fights, like how touma from TOARU is an capable street fighter. can someone clear this up for me please?
