Trivia

 * Pit is based on two different figures from Greek Mythology: 1. Icarus (where the series gets its name from), son of Daedalus, who famously used wax wings to fly, only to get too close to the sun and fall to his death. 2. Cupid (where Pit gets his name from), god of love who used a bow to shoot people with his arrows, making them fall in love with each other. Pit's relationship with Palutena also mirrors Cupid's relationship with his mother, Aphrodite.
