Quote: Perhaps you can tell me, are the simmilar sword/sickle combination weapons commonly seen in depictions of Perseus pure fantasy or did something like them exist?
I've never seen any evidence for the sword-with-a-sickle-prong other than depictions of Perseus, so I'd suspect fantasy. (Though some Perseuses, like the one on Chris' page http://home.exetel.com.au/bmboats/rhomph_similar.htm , carry sickles that could be "realistic" Anatiolian drepana.)
cheers,
Duncan
