History

Titanomachia

Titanomachy

TitanomachiaWP (ティタノマキア?) - War between the Twelve Machine Gods and the Titans. Zeus defeated his own father, Kronos, the King of the Titans, and stole the Kronos Crown, the mark of the Machine God's flagship that ties their entire pantheon together. Thanks to having the artefact in his possession, Zeus became the Chief God and the sole ruler of the gods of Atlantis, securing the position of the Twelve Machine Gods as the ruling faction.[1][2]

Leukosmachia

Leukomachy

Leukosmachia (白きマキア?) - War between the Twelve Machine Gods and Sefar in 12,000 BC.[1] Out of all the gods that were crushed by the White Titan, the gods of Atlantis were the last ones. Among these gods, the Concept of Conflict, later known as the God of War, was the last god Sefar defeated.[3] Sefar regarded him as the greatest enemy she had ever fought, and thus decided to steal his sword as a spoil of war.[4]

Right after Sefar defeated Ares, a Human used the Holy Sword crafted by the Six Fairies and vanquished Sefar, saving 20% of the surviving life forms on Earth.

The Leukosmachia is not an event recorded in Proper Human History.[2]

Gigantomachia

Gigantomachy

GigantomachiaWP (ギガントマキア?) - War between the Twelve Olympians and the Gigantes,[1] with the support of Greek heroes, notably Heracles. It took place during 1,500 BC.[2]

Trojan War

The Trojan WarWP was a conflict that lasted 10 years between the Trojans and the Achaeans (Greeks). It was triggered by Paris of Troy when he took Helen from her husband Menelaus, king of Sparta.[5]

Paris's fate took a sudden turn when the goddesses Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite were fighting over the Golden Apple. That is, during the Judgement of Paris. Although he already had a wife, he responded to Aphrodite's tempting offer of marrying him to the most beautiful woman in the world (one as beautiful as herself) and chose her as the most beautiful goddess. Paris was still young, pure, and filled with hopes and dreams, so he and Helen fell in love on their first encounter.[6] Helen had received abuse from her husband Menelaus, and as far as Paris was concerned, it was a justified reason for him to save her back then.[5]

In fear of retaliation against Paris, Hector, his older brother, decided that he would fight to the bitter end his opponents, the Greek heroes who gathered in the Achaean army, for ten years thereafter. Hector was viewed as the strongest warrior of the Trojan army, their army commander, and even a politician on top of that, easily betraying even the expectations of the gods and having cornered the Achaean army to the brink of retreat for a period of time.[5]

However, the war situation was proceeding to be gradually overturned by Achilles, a hero loved by the gods.[5] Hector held out somehow by sometimes repeatedly escaping and other times by repeatedly fighting, all while repeatedly making provocations.[5] Due to killing Patroclus, Achilles' close friend, Hector was challenged by Achilles to a one-on-one duel.[7] Hector was compelled to accept in a semi-compulsory manner because of Achilles’ spear,[5] which momentarily removed Achilles's Immortality; Andreias Amarantos.[5] Thanks to a paper-thin difference in skill, Achilles managed to kill Hector.[5] Achilles then went Berserk and insulted his corpse by dragging it around with his chariot. Even if Hector was the killer of Patroclus, this was considered a foolish and intolerable act. Despite this displeasing the sun god Apollo, and being repeatedly warned to restrain himself, Achilles continued slaughtering the Trojan army. This resulted on the Trojan army, Paris specifically, gaining the Affection of the Olympian god.[7]

With Hector dead, the Trojan side proceeded to decline.[5] After learning of his demise, the Amazons’ troops led by Penthesilea arrived to assist the Trojans, fighting against the Achaeans. Afterward, Penthesilea went on to fight in a one-on-one combat against the hero on the opposing side, Achilles, where she died.[8]

During Hector's last moments, he had realized the secret of Achilles' heel, so he carved a dying message on his body.[5] Paris became aware of that message when Hector’s body was later returned to Troy, and later on in the war, he happened to splendidly shoot through Achilles’ heel by borrowing the support of the Sun God Apollo.[5][9] Furthermore, Achilles, whose heart was pierced, died after he rampaged until he was no longer able to. After his death, his once fellow allies competed for the armor he left behind.[9]

The Achaeans would end up winning the war thanks to Odysseus' machinations with the Trojan Horse.

In the World of Fate/strange Fake, a major difference in the cause of the war is that Helen was instead the wife of Agamemnon, the leader of the Greeks and brother of Menelaus.[10]

Modern Day

On his journey back to Britain by retracing Iskandar's steps, Waver Velvet arrived in Greece and visited for a while. It is where he first got into teaching, as, after introducing himself to the Second Owner, he ended up teaching a few of his sons, though without enough room or decent textbooks, since it was quite rare for someone from the Clock Tower to show up around there.[11] During his stay in Greece, Waver also got some experience learning how to drive a motorboat.[12]

In the World of Fate/Apocrypha, an attempt to host a Subcategory Holy Grail War in Greece failed before the Servants could even be summoned, as the participating magi instead fought over a catalyst to summon Heracles. A second attempt in which the use of Heracles was banned failed after the same events occurred around a catalyst of Achilles.[13]

    Subspecies Holy Grail Wars [Others]
    The small Holy Grail Wars that have been recklessly happening everywhere since several decades ago in the “Apocrypha” world. Varying from those with only two Servants to wars with five Servants which, though inferior in scale to Fuyuki, are still considerably large conflicts, all kinds of Holy Grails Wars are brightly, happily and violently taken place throughout the world.
    This is because, after the Third Holy Grail War, Darnic disseminated information on the structure of the Holy Grail War, which normally should have been concealed at all costs, to other magi in order to forestall them from searching for the Holy Grail that he had stolen.
    Even for magi who lament over how the Root is just a distant fairy tale, once they learned that they could take a step… or perhaps even just half a step towards reaching it through this ritual, they ended up desperately creating Holy Grails of their own.
    Broadly speaking, out of a hundred Holy Grails made, ninety-five of them get stalled due to setbacks in the midst of constructing them, and out of the remaining finished five Grails, four end up incomplete and explode while prana is poured into them. The last remaining Grail out of them all manages to work properly, but the ritual is degraded in quality and cannot be compared to the one in Fuyuki.
    However, with the prana accumulated in the Grail, it still becomes possible to bring about miracles of varying scale. Being summoned by such a shoddy Holy Grail is a real nuisance to the Servants, though. There are many Servants who refuse the summoning or rebel and kill their Masters.
    Amongst young magi, something like a “Holy Grail War Walkthrough Wiki” has been secretly created and is used to outwit obstinate old magi by mustering their intelligence… maybe. The early period right after the subspecies Holy Grails began was called the “golden era of Assassins”, where Assassins (Hassan-i-Sabbah) were a great menace (because, on top of their prana consumption being low, killing Masters was far easier than battles between Servants, so it might have seemed like easier work in its own way), but by the middle period, countermeasures against them were naturally taken and the Hassan boom fell into decline. It’s apparently a common sight for Masters who enjoy having their Servants fight each other to easily team up just as Assassin is confirmed to be summoned.
    It is quite common in the subspecies Holy Grail Wars for the Servants to be unable to display their full power as much as in Fuyuki depending on the quality of the leylines, and, since the advantages and disadvantages of each Servant also becomes clear according to their level of fame in the land where a war takes place, it often turns into a competition to obtain the catalysts of local Servants.
    For instance, a subspecies Holy Grail War in Greece would create a struggle for a “catalyst of Heracles”, and the magi who managed to get it would win… In other words, the whole thing seems to go full circle and turn into a simple battle of magecraft between magi in the end. As a cute one-time divorcee magus said, “Rather, the whole idea of fighting that macho guy in his homeland is seriously ridiculous in the first place.”
    After the use of Heracles was forbidden as a result of that, the next war turned into a competition over the catalyst of Achilles, and so there has never been a proper Holy Grail War held in Greece. There exist terrible tales of Holy Grail Wars like this.
