The sword King Arthur used and that made him king in the first place. I prefer it as a Fire Emblem spell book.

Four...? I thought there were five. Fire [火], Water [水], Wood [木], Metal [金], and Earth [土]. @Ken-chan: Excalibur was a pretty standard-sized sword...so I'd prefer it as the legendary sword with a normal weight instead of Durandal with that outrageous weight that makes Eliwood lose 8 Speed when he weilds it.

Oedipus means 'swollen foot"Oedipus was given this name because when he was a baby Laius had the infant's ankles pierced with nails and had him exposed (placed in the wilderness to die).

Hector and Euphorbos both killed Patroclus, however Hector is usually seen as the main one, since Archilles took venegance out on Hector

I thought Oedipus meant "he who knew the sphynx's riddle of feet." Oh well.Hector's body was dragged around by Achillies on his chariot for 1 hour. Later, Priam convinces Achillies to allow Hector to have a funeral.

This was used in the Troy battles. In order to end the war against the trojans, the greeks decided to build a huge wooden horse and fill it up with soliders. They pretened it was a sort of surredner gift, and pretended to leave the island. The Troys found it and brang back the horse into their heavy fortieid city, thinking that this was a victory gift from the gods and celebrated. Late that night, the Greeks sprang out, whilst the tros were in a drunk state and attacked the city from inside. They opened up the gates and let the rest of the greek forces in. This is how the greeks won the Trojan wars and got back Helen.@ Ody:

Yeah, would have been able to interpret if it had been Trjan... thought there may have been some other thing which I was completely ignorant of though.Oh, and just another little thing, the horse was supposed to have been a gift from Poseidon, not just the gods in general. Oh well. On to the next question.

Geez guys, don't play on spelling with me

There are two possible (even more actually) spelling of Troyan or Trojan. The 'y' or 'j' are just there to spell the 'iode' letter, which was an ancient aphabet letter and by the way was already abandonned during classical Greece period along with the 'digamma'. So the since there is no exact matching with this lost letter, any letter that transcribe the approximate sound [i] is correct. Anyway, next question.94. What is the single-eyed creature Odysseus met during his journey?
