Trivia[]
- Astarte is based on the goddess of the same name but she is known to the Greeks as Aphrodite.
- Astarte is known as the goddess of fertility, sexuality and war.
- The symbols of Astarte are a lion, a horse and the sphinx.
- She is the only God to make a physical appearance.
- Given a God's immortality she is likely the only and currently living antagonist.
- It's interesting to note that she is called the ruler of the Underworld but in Egyptian mythology the Ruler of the Underworld is Osiris and the ruler of the dead the god Mathayus made a deal with to sell his soul was Anubis. This is interesting because at the end of The Scorpion King: Rise of a Warrior Mathayas got her to spare his life because according to him she would have him regardless. Though it's possible she shares dominion with the others.
