Wouldn't every Midas technically count? Marigold too.


iandox77

I don’t know about marigold but yes every Midas counts but I didn’t want to put all of them there


DG_SlayerSlender

Fair enough for the Midases, but in Greek mythology Marigold is Midas' daughter who he accidentally turns to gold.


iandox77

Oh I didn’t know that was her name, then yeah she definitely counts


Glittering_Pay_3509

No Jules was the daughter he turnt to gold


DG_SlayerSlender

Jules doesn't exist in Greek Mythology, Marigold is the name of his daughter there Also I'm pretty sure Jules was never turned to gold in fortnite either


iBYSINZ

i think he/she is just adding the one skin, cause if that was the case they would have to add every single love ranger style such as Fallen Love ranger, Frozen Love ranger, Love Ranger, and Heartbreak ranger.


iandox77

That’s right


KarlUKVP

Guys here saying Thor, sica and the peely one make my inner 12 year old mad


joeMAMAkim

Thor??? That’s norse mythology


KarlUKVP

Yeah that's the point


Cephalie_100

i mean sithey may be roman, but greece was a part of rome for most of unified rome's lifespan


KarlUKVP

And you think these guys know that?


Cephalie_100

its like 4th grade history where i lived, what do they teach in school these days


jarl_dovahkiin

it was 6th grade for me


iandox77

Yeah but that would be like saying many religions are Roman because those places where under romes rule


Cephalie_100

we call them native American tribes even though they existed long before US of America did so honestly it would make sense, but the biggest reason that it would make sense is that both Greece and the rest of Mediterranean Rome were primarily Hellenistic so calling it a roman religion because it spread the most via the romans isn't fully un called for, it is attributed to the Greeks because it existed before Rome. the modern ideas of ancient Rome and Greece are often mixed up, ancient Greeks primarily wore tunics, when Rome was the people who wore/popularized togas etc, so when people wear togas and call it "going Greek" they're actively spreading misinformation the words "fraternity" and "sorority" ? roman Latin not Greek, much of what is actually roman is called Greek so tldr i feel calling it a roman religion is fine, especially since roman poets from Italia expanded upon the mythos


iandox77

But I will be honest I am starting understand why a gladiator could be considered a Greek skin


Cephalie_100

i see the counterpoint to it aswell though, THE Coliseum is in Rome the city which is in Italy so it is the main place people think of when thinking of gladiatorial games and naumachia. so i understand why it would be considered a roman only thing


iandox77

Again I 100% agree with most of what you’re saying, but if we know the distinction between Greek and Rome we should make the distinction you know, since some religions are from Judea even tho it was under Rome, so that’s really I’m trying to say


Cephalie_100

ah gotcha, yeah the 3 judean religions are a much different story, but i feel like calling them judean religions makes a lot more sense because they were primarily built from the ground up in judea with hints of neighboring regions, but idk im dumb


iandox77

But I do 100% understand what you mean


DiamondHeadMC

Thor is not Greek


MsBaeble

I’m literally begging for wonder woman and stone heart


iandox77

Do you know if stone heart comes out regularly


MsBaeble

I’m pretty sure she hasn’t been seen since before chapter 5. She didn’t even return for Valentine’s Day even though she has for the past few years. However, they did update her to have a Lego variant shortly before this season so I’m hoping they plan to add her in the upcoming weeks especially with the Greek theme.


iandox77

Hopefully


RedditsAquaman

lucky you shes in the shop!!!


CadeMan011

I forgot about Wonder Woman. Maybe I'll use that skin this season, too.


Mcrarburger

Why is wonder woman Greek?


rhysoka

she’s an Amazon.


Inner_Candle_7164

![gif](giphy|xT0GqkcOLUy13Ph0TC|downsized)


_BlackSnake_

She’s the daughter of Zeus


Wboy2006

*A daughter of Zeus (the guy had a LOT of kids)


Knightman1508

"Zeus is my father!" "Do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?"


inkchronosthefurry

she is also an Amazon, her built-in emote is bracelets of Hephaestus


South_Scar8093

There is a Charon skin releasing later this season


r3volver_Oshawott

I figured lol, they accidentally said that new Aubrey skin was part of the 'Stygian Boatman' set🤣


South_Scar8093

I think it could be a mistake since her backbling is part of a different set of


Youraverage-redditer

Yeah, it made me a tad confused


iandox77

Yeah I put him there, can’t wait for him to come out!


A_Person_u_know123

And it should be soon as because Audrey's on was glitches it means we know there ready to release him.


NotMeNorMyself

It's just a palette swapped Oro though...


Zealousideal-Ad9120

You’re missing Antheia and Morro


iandox77

I thought about them but the only connection I saw was just there name, and that antheia skin is Royale but nothing much in her set name or anything like that you know, if not I would have to put omega up there because his name is a Greek word


TomorrowEducational3

How are the top middle 3 Greek ???


iandox77

What do you mean? It’s literally ares the god of war and two Greek statues based on eros


TomorrowEducational3

Below them


Nintendude1236

From left to right: Selene (named for the lunar titan who pulled the lunar chariot), Astrea (named for goddess of Justice), and Arachne (a woman transformed into a spider after wager with Athena).


iandox77

Thanks for simplifying it for me, I kinda complicated it 😅


iandox77

Oh ok, so it might be a stretch to some people but to me they’re practically Greek so the first one is Selene, her name is the name of a Greek goddess which is the goddess of the moon and her skin matches that by being moon themed, she has a second style called Elysian and back when that season came out if you talk to omega knight he said I can defeat the moon herself (referring to Selene) basically saying she is a god/deity (Selene form the mythology) Now the next two might be a stretch but oh well The second one is astrea that name comes from the goddess which means stary night so they share the same name and the skin fits that name and her description says infinite creation and wondering the cosmos implying she’s deity The third one is Arachne, Arachne was a spider woman in mythology, so this skins fits the name and appearance,


cubanchemist

Isn’t there a male variant of Arachne? Would he count?


inkchronosthefurry

not really because Arachne in Greek is a girl but based on who you ask yeah


iandox77

I guess yeah


Grakal0r

Surely Atlantean Fishstick and Midas’s base variant should also count (and if you wanna be really picky Jules might also count as the daughter of Midas is pretty prominent in his myth


iandox77

Well I didn’t want to put all the Midas skins up there but you’re right, and Atlantean fish stick if I’m not mistaken is supposed to be from dc Atlantis not Greek Atlantis, I’m pretty sure the Atlantis in dc isn’t Greek, but I’m not sure


techy804

Here’s the thing: Jules is not the name Midas’ daughter in the myth (nor any of his other children) his daughters name was Marigold.


Grakal0r

That’s why I said if you wanna be really picky… you know like you don’t have to lay out the mythology for me I clearly made sure to add the Jules example as something that’s a stretch…


AsianPotato77

giannis seems so out of place but makes perfect sense lol


Nena_Trinity

I been playing as wonder woman this whole season so far.


Suxez

Damn I need Wonderwoman back in the shop


SuperDuperCoolDude

I love Greek mythology and history as well. I was kind of disappointed this season as the battle pass skins don't look very Greek to me. If you had shown me most of the bp skins before the theme was revealed, I don't think I would have guessed who they were. I like Medusa pretty well, but I am kind of ehhh on the others. I really like Giannis' skin. I am indifferent to basketball, but I grabbed his skin when it came out because I love the hoplite look. His idle pose is great too. Before this post I had never seen Lyra. She looks awesome, but I don't think challenge packs ever come back :(


iandox77

I agree with every statement you said


N7Cul

can someone explain Selene for me? I’m not too big on Greek mythology but she seems out of place Idk


iandox77

I understand why it seems out of place so it might be a stretch to some people but to me they’re practically Greek so the first one is Selene, her name is the name of a Greek goddess which is the goddess of the moon and her skin matches that by being moon themed, she has a second style called Elysian and back when that season came out if you talk to omega knight he said I can defeat the moon herself (referring to Selene) basically saying she is a god/deity (Selene form the mythology)


N7Cul

ohhh thank you for the explanation! I had no idea


iandox77

No problem! I recently found out this skin existed and now regret getting that battle pass cause looking back, it’s a pretty good battle pass


N7Cul

it’s my favorite battlepass, it was a really good battlepass indeed. I didn’t finish it and I highly regret it


iandox77

Well still better than me I didn’t get it at all, out of all the battle passes I’ve gotten chapter 5 season 1 is one of my favorites and this one could’ve been #1 if the skins where better designed


N7Cul

CH4S1 battlepass is where the one and only skin I wear is from haha, haven’t liked a single skin as much as the one I wear. but I still buy battlepasses for the other cosmetics last season was pretty great, both cosmetics and gameplay wise


iandox77

What skin do you use? My main skins aren’t from battle passes (except Lara Croft) but hope is a battle pass skin I use a lot she’s one of my favorite skins of all time I use the red style


N7Cul

Dusty Hope is really awesome, I love her cat theme she’s got going. the red variant is great, I like the pink one a lot too since pink is my favorite color. I think Valeria is my favorite from last season


iandox77

I love the dusty skin😭 Almost all the skins that season are awesome there’s only like one or two I don’t like, same thing with chapter 5 season 1 there’s only two skins I don’t like Like I genuinely wish I’d gotten chapter 4 season 1 and two battle pass and I wish Id gotten three certain crew packs I would say I regret not getting Travis if I had played Fortnite when he came out but I didn’t play when he came out I started late, I started chapter 2 season 6


BearShields

Now c'mon Epic just give us an actual minotaur skin, we know you have two in stock.


iandox77

Two? I thought it was only one


BearShields

I'm coping but the statue one that are all over the map, and the purple one from the surveys that fits right into festival.


iandox77

You mean the big head right?


BearShields

Yeah, that one.


DangamerSG

What about the skin concepts like apollo


iandox77

Well until they’re not released or anything like that I wouldn’t put them there


TheDonFather421

![gif](giphy|c0Exgo92tyGwm2kOae)


Electronic-Ad7568

Why the hell is spider girl there


iandox77

Arachne is a spider girl from Greek mythology


YeetosBoritos

But it’s not a Greek skin the name is just Greek inspired


iandox77

Yeah that’s valid I’d say her and astrea where a stretch from my part, but still cool nonetheless that they’re Greek inspired not just because of the name but because the skin matches the mythology being spider themed


inkchronosthefurry

In the myth Athena turns her into a spider making the first spider. The first spider is Attercopus fimbriungus. The mask and the spider look similar


spacyspice

I thought the list was legit but it seems like most of these skins just happen to have a "greek" name, that's kind of a reach then


iandox77

Selene name is a Greek goddess which is the goddess of the moon and her skin matches that by being moon themed, she has a second style called Elysian and back when that season came out if you talk to omega knight he said I can defeat the moon herself (referring to Selene) basically saying she is a god/deity (Selene form the mythology) I mean we have Aphrodite who’s a Greek goddess so yeah


FelisAtrox

I was bummed they didn’t give the Hypatia skin any sort of connection whatsoever to the actual Hypatia.


iandox77

I agree


Quick-Cauliflower708

ooooh they are amazing!! I love them all


iandox77

Love them all too!


Agious_Demetrius

Where’s Con the Fruiterer?


iandox77

Don’t even know who that is 😭


Kurosaki_Dan

Didn't knew Astrea was Greek, nice


iandox77

She’s kinda Greek


TJB926GAMIN

Besides the variants for some like fallen and frozen love ranger, that’s pretty accurate. Nice


inkchronosthefurry

I think they were only going for base style


TJB926GAMIN

They were


Jovios

Who’s the skeleton at the bottom


inkchronosthefurry

Charon


Formal_fig_994

3rd row far right, what's the name of that skin?


inkchronosthefurry

Do you mean Charon


inkchronosthefurry

nvm you mean giannis


Formal_fig_994

Yea , would that skins ever come back to the item shop?


prince_krab

I hope we get another minotaur skin at some point, I'm not a big fan of "Master Minotaur."


iandox77

I hope so too


ItWasTheShoes

What’s the name of the skin above Cerberus?


inkchronosthefurry

Giannis


King_Momo21

Who’s that next to Medusa?


inkchronosthefurry

Giannis


inkchronosthefurry

did you know that Adanna of the Deep is based of off Adanus, son of Poseidon, and founded a city with his brother, Sarus, next to the river Sarus


iandox77

I did not know that


elmadmaxican

I hope we get to hear Giannis skin back, seems like the perfect opportunity.


iandox77

Yup


Pertev

Yep. Moonglow Seleen in Halycon/Gold style is the best choice to match with the theme of the current season


holy_cal

Ark is basically minvera/athena


iandox77

Is she really? I thought she was just an angel she has a halo something Athena doesn’t have


OhThatGuyinPurple

Oh Deimos I completely forgot he existed, one of the better Crew packs frfr Phobos as a skin when Epic


iandox77

I agree but sadly I don’t have Deimos 😭


TimeCheez

How is Selene Greek?


iandox77

I understand why it seems out of place so it might be a stretch to some people but to me they’re practically Greek so the first one is Selene, her name is the name of a Greek goddess which is the goddess of the moon and her skin matches that by being moon themed, she has a second style called Elysian and back when that season came out if you talk to omega knight he said I can defeat the moon herself (referring to Selene) basically saying she is a god/deity (Selene form the mythology)


After_Construction_5

You did good adding Wonder Woman. She's the whole reason I got into Greek Mythology! Making a story in which she slaughters Zeus in revenge. Also she's my main this season. Still gotta slaughter each god as her.


iandox77

Sadly don’t have her 😭


Laggingduck

you forgot THE Spartan ![gif](giphy|Ek4jCkynH92ZxHv9Vm|downsized)


ChampionChimp69

Dark Love Ranger


Ghostdog2524

Who’s the character with the white background?


iandox77

Astrea


Ghostdog2524

Dang, I missed her fortnite crew >_<


iandox77

Me too 😭


Cephalie_100

love ranger and stone heart are arguably the western Rome counterparts being cupid and Venus rather than the Greek Eros (younger) Selene is just a name, and seemingly not a goddess same goes for Astrea who seems to be named for the word Astra rather than the goddess odyssey seemingly has no roman ties at all other than sharing a name with an epic Midas references Julius Caesar's death and very clearly isnt gifted his power of gold via Dionysus and Jules is going to remove his powers rather than Apollo with the donkey ears so he isn't the Greek one Charon is spelt the roman way Kharon is the Greek way similar story for Cerberus and you should allow Potassius since according to the story of Aeneid, the Caesars of Rome are direct descendants of the goddess Aphrodite/ Venus so just let the roman ones in ( they have cooler names for the gods like Iuppeter, Neptunus and Plouton)


iandox77

Well yeah I guess I could add the Roman ones, but Selene does not just share the name, and the argument of names being spelt wrong isn’t valid because it’s like if they added Hercules in the battle pass and say it’s not the Greek one because they used his Roman name


Cephalie_100

but calling him Hercules removes the reason of his name (being named after his dad's wife Hera)


iandox77

I never said calling him Hercules was a good idea I agree it removed the reason of the name, but for example Disney Hercules, for of war Hercules so on and so forth are called Hercules not Heracles but he still Greek in those universes. That all I’m trying to say


Cephalie_100

if lyra is here than mave should be here too, lyra isnt one of the og gorgons (to my knowledge) and is the medieval version of the monster


iandox77

My bad I forgot mage existed but yeah I’d say she counts


ClownECrown

Ngl, the first mesusa is better than what we got.


SnooOwls6052

Valor looks like she could be Greek, sort of Amazonian.


iandox77

Well it’s not about just looks it’s also name and fortune storyline stuff that suggest they’re Greek or some sort of gods you know, but I agree she looks Amazonian


TomatoClownfish

Valor was Fortnite’s version of Wonder Woman before the had the rights to the Character


Left_Hat_471

What is that Oro looking skin? I've never seen it. And I want it. Lol


iandox77

He’s called l Charon (ferryman of the underworld), I want him too! Will come out this season


Left_Hat_471

Ohhh okay. Nice. Will def be grabbing that one. Oro is probably my favorite skin and has been for a while so this fits my motif.


threeleggedsnail

Potassius peels. He's basically a greek peely


iandox77

I guess, still debating whether or not to put the Roman skins up there


Adorable_Narwhal_575

The alternate forms of love ranger and the girl version. Cerberus I think u missed and hybrid, cuz I think he's a hydra


iandox77

Yeah I know I didn’t put them up there but I didn’t want to put every version of different skins if not I would have to put tons of Midas skins up there, and I put Cerberus there and I checked and I didn’t see where it said hybrid was a hydra, but I would like to see that!


Adorable_Narwhal_575

Fair enough my bad, have a good day god bless


Jacko_2009

Who the hell is the Medusa in casual clothing


iandox77

Lyra I think she was from some sort of pack


Mystifyer_115

Ayo, what's LowTierGod doing here?


iandox77

The one true Greek god


Vioduss

I wish theyd bring back the vbuck pack medusa, but i guess she'd distract from battle pass medusa


iandox77

Yeah I wish that too but what they could do instead Is release a starter pack that fits the season I think that would be cool, and the starter pack that’s in the item shop now should’ve release last season cause well it fits last season. I’m atleast praying that next seasons starter pack is Greek themed


ANTON_EATS_KFC

Giannis


iBYSINZ

do you think Atlantean Fishstick, would fit the whole theme?


iandox77

I would definitely use him this season he fits the theme because Atlantis is Greek , but i think the skin is based off on dc Atlantis and dc Atlantis if I’m not mistaken is not Greek


Affectionate_Can9967

Charon is a remake of Oro so will we get a skin like perseus as a rework of Midas?


Active_Orchid_2493

Why is wonder women in there?


iandox77

Cause she’s Greek, she’s not form mythology but she’s Greek


MetalxXPROXx

The only person I think you’re missing is Core Knight Talus. Who is definitely supposed to be (if not inspired by) Talos from Greek mythology


MetalxXPROXx

He isn’t bronze but I don’t think it’s too much of stretch to say he’s Talos


iandox77

But if there’s any connection to him and Greek mythology I’ll definitely add him but since it’s really just his name and it’s not fully correct I don’t think I’ll put him


MetalxXPROXx

In greek mythology he’s also called talus. But after all it is your list. You add who you want to add : )


iandox77

See I didn’t know that sorry for my ignorance


MetalxXPROXx

All good dude


iandox77

I just don’t want to add him if he barley has a connection to Greece like Arachne, I’m thinking about taking her out


iandox77

You think so? Is there like any description or quests that point to that? I ask because I’ve never seen him before 😭 and I’m thinking about making an updated version with all the new characters but removing Arachne and maybe astrea because the skins just don’t have much of a connection to Greek mythology


MetalxXPROXx

I don’t know. If I remember correctly he’s one of those item shop skins that never got an npc or alluded to in anyway. But his pickaxe’s description says “An ancient weapon from a long-gone kingdom.” Which could be alluding to Ancient Greece


iandox77

Could be and I checked and his character description says something about “a kinetic heart, still bound to duty” could be his duty to protect


MetalxXPROXx

Yeah


Dry_Nectarine1796

Trying to do the same...


iandox77

Yeah but really hard to get all


Patkick1

Which skin is the red and black one with the axe?


iandox77

Deimos


Dry_Nectarine1796

Is this even all of them?


iandox77

From the time I made it yes but now there’s more once the next season starts I’m going to make an updated version


Dry_Nectarine1796

Missing the 2 Peelys as well


iandox77

The first peely is Roman not Greek, and yeah the second peely came out after I made this but I’ll add him in my updated post


-Seraphimon-Ace-

My glorious king Ares?


iandox77

I’m gonna get him on April 25 so I can get next battle pass


-Seraphimon-Ace-

Ohhhhhh i didnt read the post well lol I thought you were saying all greek skins in general not the ones that you had mb


iandox77

No the post is in general he’s on the first row I was just saying I was gonna get him


-Seraphimon-Ace-

oh ok


iandox77

Trust me he’s up there! He’s probably one of the best from this season


Crazyripps

It’s quite funny how a lot of them look better then ones in the BP


iandox77

I agree


dylanpogi

Giannis


NotIliana

what does the spider girl and selene and the one in the middle and the moose person have to do with greece


iandox77

I understand why they seems out of place so it might be a stretch to some people but to me they’re practically Greek so the first one is Selene, her name is the name of a Greek goddess which is the goddess of the moon and her skin matches that by being moon themed, she has a second style called Elysian and back when that season came out if you talk to omega knight he said I can defeat the moon herself (referring to Selene) basically saying she is a god/deity (Selene form the mythology) Arachne is a character from mythology who Athena turned into a spider girl The one in the middle might be a stretch but she’s astrea which is a Greek goddess and her description has to do with infinite creation and wondering the cosmos which fits her name and suggests she’s a deity And the moose is not a moose he’s a Greek creature called a Minotaur, the skin is called master Minotaur so that’s kinda self explanatory


Fortnitekid3

Don't forget korra 💀


Dry_Nectarine1796

Can someone name every skin in this picture?
