List Of Saint Seiya Films
Due to the series' high popularity in Japan and the rest of the world, four films based on ''Saint Seiya'' were released in theatres between 1987 and 1989, while the original TV series was still airing.

A fifth film named ''Heaven Chapter: Overture'' was released in 2004, originally intended to initiate a continuation of the manga. A sixth film, ''Saint Seiya: Legend of Sanctuary, Legend of Sanctuary'', was premiered in 2014.

Lyra
Lyra (; Latin for lyre, from Greek ''λύρα'') is a small constellation. It is one of the 48 listed by the 2nd century astronomer Ptolemy, and is one of the modern 88 constellations recognized by the International Astronomical Union. Lyra was often represented on star maps as a vulture or an eagle carrying a lyre, and hence is sometimes referred to as Vultur Cadens or Aquila Cadens ("Falling Vulture" or "Falling Eagle"), respectively. Beginning at the north, Lyra is bordered by Draco, Hercules, Vulpecula, and Cygnus. Lyra is nearly overhead in temperate northern latitudes shortly after midnight at the start of summer. From the equator to about the 40th parallel south it is visible low in the northern sky during the same (thus winter) months. Vega, Lyra's brightest star, is one of the brightest stars in the night sky, and forms a corner of the famed Summer Triangle asterism. Beta Lyrae is the prototype of a class of binary stars known as Beta Lyrae variables. These binary st ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
