Known by names such as the Scthye of Cronus or the Sickle of Zeus, the Harpe is a mythological sword used in many depictions of Greek or Roman fiction. This weapon is known for being wielded by several recognizable figures in Greek mythology, such as Cronus, who used the sword to castrate his father, Uranus, Perseus, who used it to behead the Gorgon Medusa, and Heracles, who defeated the Hydra using the same weapon. The Harpe had also been used by Hermes, the messenger God to kill the titan Argus, and by Zeus, God of the Gods and of lightning to battle Typhon.

The weapon was labelled as the Harpe by the Greeks while its description read that it was a Khopsh-blade from Egypt.

The Harpe has also been depicted in many forms of modern art. One of these examples is video game representation - the series Assassin's Creed displays the Harpe of Perseus in Assassin's Creed Odyssey, and Assassin's Creed Origins. The weapon is said to not to be true to the original design of the Harpe, but takes it's design from Benvenuto Cellini's statue Perseus with the Head of Medusa. It is considered a legendary weapon in the game and can be obtained by completing the mission Writhing Dead.

This is not the only popular series where the Harpe is showcased. It can also be found in Dark Souls III, and this style of Harpe shows a more sickle-like shape. It is said to be found at Undead Settlement, dropped only by the red eyed Peasant Hollow. It is an uncommon weapon to find, regardless, and has a low spawn rate in the game.
