Mythos (comics) - Mythos The Arcadian

The character of Mythos the Arcadian is portrayed as a mythological hero of unknown and possibly divine origins, rather than as a common human and a thief or mercenary like Conan. Although he battles and solves most situations in a manner similar to Conan, using his natural strength, speed and intellect and favors a longsword in combat, Mythos the Arcadian permanently wears some mysterious metal bracers of which the left one can radiate a transparent magical shield on the wearer's command. Mythos the Arcadian is often described as having "Epsilon" origins, bearing a Delphic Epsilon symbol on his belts' buckler, which would mean he has either divine origins or is a servant to greater, divine or mythological powers. This is probably a reference to the modern Greek popular culture phenomenon of Epsilon Team and Epsilonism, although the Mythos comic books as a whole don't have a propagandistic character favoring Epsilonism, since everything is placed within the mythological domain.
