Harpe

The harpē (ἅρπη) was a type of sword or sickle; a sword with a sickle protrusion along one edge near the tip of the blade. The harpe is mentioned in Greek and Roman sources, and almost always in mythological contexts.

The harpe sword is most notably identified as the weapon used by Cronus to castrate and depose his father, Uranus. Alternately, said weapon is identified as a more traditional sickle or scythe. The harpe, scythe or sickle was either a flint or adamantine (diamond) blade, and was provided to a then-unborn Cronus by his mother, Gaia. It was due to their uglyness Uranus had cast he and Gaia's children, the Cyclops and Hecatonchires, down into Tartarus; but after this, Uranus kept siring more children with Gaia, while he would not let her give birth to them, for fear of being overthrown by his own children. This state of affairs left Gaia in increasingly-excruciating pain, as she fell pregnant with even more and more children, all of who she was prevented from birthing. This disregard for her own wellbeing also enraged Gaia, who plotted Uranus' downfall. Gaia beseech each of her still-unborn children to rise up against Uranus and free her, but was refused by all but the youngest, Cronus. So, Gaia provides him with a blade (a Harpe, Sickle or Scythe); and when Uranus next came to lay with Gaia, Cronus lept up into action and castrated his father, overthrowing him and driving him away forever. Thus the blade, (either a Harpe, Sickle or Scythe), became a symbol of Cronus' power.

Perseus, (a grandson of Cronus'), is also regularly depicted in statues and sculpture, armed with a harpe sword in his quest to slay the Gorgon, Medusa, and recover her head to use against the Kraken. Perseus was provided with such a sword by his father, Zeus (Cronus' youngest son and later overthrower).
