TrueWierdo1400 3 March 22, 2014 Share March 22, 2014 Even though I'm not great in greek mythology you can't ignore the manticore in the second episode and I wondered if we could gather a list of all of the greek mythology or any mythology references Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Untitled Goose Q 5,138 March 22, 2014 Share March 22, 2014 Well, more recently there was the chimera, and also Cereberus a bit further back. Cant think of any other right now though.

ninjamon102938 222 March 22, 2014 Share March 22, 2014 Don't forget aboutnhe recent chimera, even if it was a little inaccurate special thanks to Lunia for this AWESOME signature MY OC: http://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/valiant-gamer-r5975 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scootalove 10,692 March 22, 2014 Share March 22, 2014 The chimera, Cerberus, the mentioning of Tartarus, Chimera, Manticore, Griffons, Hydra, Minotaur, Sea serpent, and a phoenix. That's a lot of Greek mythological creatures that the show has mentioned, and there will be many more.

Khaoios 1,970 March 22, 2014 Share March 22, 2014 (edited) Yes.........there are a lot of Greek themes (not to much Roman, but then again, Greek and Roman Myths are similar) in MLP, which is another reason why I love the show. Mythology is one of my favorites to read, yet, for now, I can tell you this. Elements of Harmony - Harmonia, Goddess of Harmony and Concord Discord - Eris (Discordia in Latin Translation) Goddess of Chaos, Strife, and Discord There are many others that are linked to Mythology. Also, most of the characters also may represent some gods/goddess. Ex; Rainbow Dash - Nike, Winged Goddess of Victory There is also Roman themes there too.. like the The Royal Guard's armor is based off of Roman soldiers (i forget which one though) The Royal Guard guards are actually based off of Greek Hoplites.

Adorkable 2,737 March 22, 2014 Share March 22, 2014 I've noticed it as well. ^^ It's pretty cool, maybe we'll see more in future episodes? ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkiefan1287 610 March 22, 2014 Share March 22, 2014 If you ask me, Pound Cake is basted off of Hercules. 1. He is super strong. 2. Hercules had a pegasus and Pound Cake is a pegasus. 3. Both of his parents are Earth Ponies. Kinda like Earthlings. Last one is kind weak and I'm not saying Pound Cake is adopted or a god. Just something I noticed. 1 Made by Gone ϟ Airbourne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darker 1,352 August 23, 2014 Share August 23, 2014 Since the 80s MLP has been referencing a lot of Greek mythological creatures, the first one being Tirek, the centaur.
