Hey there I'm researching Greek mythology weapons and Perseus's Sword is something I've been looking into for quite a while. I have begun to believe that The type of sword Perseus would've wielded is a Kopis and was wondering if you had anymore pictures of your design of the sword. If you do can you send them to me so I can see your design? I see this post is very old and the pictures you posted at the time are no longer visible.


So if you have any more photos I'd love to see your take on the Sword of Perseus. And the sheath too. Thank you!
