The Greatest Swords in Mythology

Blades of gods and mortals forged in legend, tempered in destiny.

Excalibur

The legendary sword of King Arthur, bestowed by the Lady of the Lake, symbolizes divine right, justice, and unshakable honor. 

Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi

Discovered within the tail of the dragon Yamata-no-Orochi, Kusanagi became a sacred imperial relic. 

Caladbolg

The thunderous sword of Fergus mac Róich, Caladbolg could slice mountaintops and leave rainbows in its wake.

Nandaka

The divine sword of Vishnu, Nandaka cuts through ignorance rather than flesh. Wielded by the preserver of worlds, it represents spiritual illumination.

Harpe

The curved blade that toppled gods — Cronus used Harpe to overthrow Uranus, and Perseus later wielded it to slay Medusa. 

Shamshir-e Zomorrodnegar

An emerald-encrusted sword of divine origin, capable of slaying demons and healing the pure of heart. 

Kampilan

The massive, single-edged sword of ancient Filipino warriors, including the hero Lapu-Lapu. Its sheer size and cutting power made it both a weapon of war and a symbol of freedom.

From Excalibur’s divine grace to Kampilan’s battle-worn edge, these swords echo humanity’s eternal quest for honor, justice, and glory.
