Saint Seiya Episode G
聖闘士星矢 エピソードG
In ancient times, the Titan Cronos (son of Uranus the sky and Gaia the earth) and his wife Rhea gave birth to six children. Five of them were swallowed by Cronos, and only one was saved, Zeus, hidden from Cronos by Rhea. Upon reaching adulthood, Zeus forces his father to vomit the other five gods. Zeus, along with his brothers and sisters, decide to battle the Titans for control of the universe. Cronos and the other eleven Titans lose the battle and are sent to Tartarus.
Thousands of year later, in Greece, the Pope visits the room of the recently reincarnated infant Athena, with a golden dagger. Before he can kill her, the Gold Saint Saggitarius Aiolos saves her, and unmasks the Pope. Aiolos, horrified, flees. The Pope declares him a traitor to the Sanctuary, and has Capricorn Shura murder him. This causes his younger brother, Leo Aiolia, to grow under the shadow of his "traitor" brother, suffering from all manner of abuse and scorn. This leaves him with a grudge against the Gold Saints and Sanctuary as a whole, which causes the Pope and most of the Sanctuary to distrust him. To make things worse, the enemies of God Zeus, the Titans, are revived and begin to seek vengeance against him and the Sanctuary. This marks the start of Aiolia's story and the battle of the Gold Saints against the Titans.

Characters
アイオリア
MAINAs Masami Kurumada uses the revered Osamu Tezuka's Star System, (A stable cast of characters which play a different or similar role in the author's various works, sometimes with the same personality and sometimes with an entirely new one), he designed Aiolia's appearance very similar to Zaji, the main character in Raimei no Zaji, a manga that Kurumada wrote and drew years before Saint Seiya.
サガ
SUPPORTINGSaga disguised himself as the Pope and was the first Gold Saint that Masami Kurumada introduced in his manga along with Leo Aiolia, although their rank wasn't revealed until later volumes. In his first appearance, Saga presided the event in which Pegasus Seiya acquired the status of Saint. In the anime adaptation, he was introduced in identical manner, in episode 1.
童虎
SUPPORTINGLibra Dohko (天秤座の童虎, Raibura no Dōko) is one of the Gold Saints. He is one of the oldest characters in the manga next to Aries Shion, as they both appear in the previous Holy War, and is most known as Dragon Shiryu's mentor. He is also referred to as the Old Master (老師, Rōshi) by all the Saints of Athena, as a sign of respect, even though his only true student is Shiryu.
アフロディーテ
SUPPORTINGFor its beauty, other gods feared that jealousy would put an end to the peace that reigned among them, beginning a war; for this reason Zeus married her to Hephaestus, who was not seen as a threat. Aphrodite had many lovers, both gods like Ares as deadly as Anchises. The goddess was also of crucial importance to the legend of Eros and Psyche, and was described in subsequent reports of his myth, both as a lover of Adonis as her adoptive mother. Several other characters from Greek mythology were described as children.
