#64 Francis Drake
So legendary is Drake, he has his own take on the Sleeping King In Mountain legend. Drake’s Drum, the same drum used on his ship to call sailors to battle, it is purported to beat in times of crisis and bring Drake back from the dead to protect England.
#63 Hector
Oddly absent in FGO, is Hector’s helmet. In The Iliad, Hector is associated with his incredible bronze helmet from Apollo. Diomedes recognized him across the battlefield and threw his spear so hard it beamed Hector in the head, knocking him out temporarily.
#62 David
While most famous for his slaying of Goliath, there’s a lot more. He commits adultery with Bathsheba and their son, Solomon, was given the throne.
He wanted to create a temple for the Ark, but Yahweh denied him because of the amount of bloodshed in taking Jerusalem.
#59 Orion (Artemis)
The etymology of the name ‘Artemis’ is unclear, but it may be related to the Greek árktos (bear) which is supported by a bear cult the goddess had in Attica. She was one of the most popular and venerated gods in the entire Greek pantheon.
#58 Tamamo Cat
The Tamamo Nine were mentioned as early as Fate/Extra CCC, but to this day this is the only confirmed member, aside from the original Tamamo no Mae, to make an appearance.
Her battle line “are wa uso da” is a meme from the Japanese dub of Commando.
#57 Eric Bloodaxe
While there is historical proof he existed, details about Eric are extremely murky. He makes appearances in the old Norse sagas and even the Lives of saints, where he functions much like King Arthur does—a method for furthering political means.
#56 Kiyohime
While there is no shortage of dragons falling in love in Japan, there is never any real explanation for why Kiyohime suddenly turns into a dragon to kill her former lover. She is not a youkai or demon, she simply got so angry she turned into a dragon!
#54 Caligula
Much like his nephew, there are a lot of suspect sources detailing his madness. He was highly praised in his first six months as emperor, after which sources claim he went mad. In reality, Caligula sponsored many ambitious construction projects, like aqueducts.
@caletvwlrh That explains his rather built frame in his first appearance!
#53 Asterios
There is a lot of speculation about the Minotaur myth and Crete in general. It harkens back to an earlier time where Crete was more powerful than Greece, hence the demands of tribute of seven young men and women every year to be sacrificed.
