Where's they get those cheap costumes?


The helmets look like they were made of plastic. Like something you'd get from a Halloween store.

They got them from the Ye Olde Cheap Costume Shoppe.

Gotta love the heraldry. When Perseus and his two buddies were stalking the medusa, one of them had an honest-to-gosh pig with wings on his shield.

That would be the either the Sow of Klazomenai, or Chrysaor, brother of Pegasus. Both popular motives in Ancient Greek art.

Looking at the shield now (very well visible in the "Cerberus" fight scene), it actually seems to be a boar, which would mean it's supposed to be Chrysaor. That makes the whole thing kind of funny, because Chrysaor was Medusa's son, born out of her body when she was slain. Then again, the same goes for Pegasus. ;)
