My recent acquisition is Athena’s stunt sword prop, used by Athena played by Paris Jefferson and her stunt doubles. Mostly all the swords seen on the series were made of hard resin or foam, only a few exceptions were metal for close-ups.
The foam blades were the safest options in physical contact scenes for the actors and stunts. Athena’s character appeared during three episodes on season 5: “Amphipolis under siege”, “Looking death in the eye” and “Motherhood”. However, the character was very loved by fans but sadly she never appeared again on the series.
The handle is made of hard resin and the blade is soft foam, all cast over a metal rod armature for support and prevent bending. Athena’s sword has 7 blue acrylic gems inlayed, still in mint condition.
I believe that the prop department had choosen different gem colours for each different god: Ares had in his wardrobe and sword red jewels and Athena blue ones in her sword and costume. The sword is in good condition, although in some parts has chipped paint and sings of being used in fight scenes.
