Literary allusion[]

Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions weapon description alludes to The Honest Woodcutter tale, which serves as a cautionary tale on the need for cultivating honesty, even at the price of self-interest. The Greek version of the story tells of a woodcutter who accidentally dropped his axe into a river. The god Hermes takes pity on him, dived into the water and returned with a golden axe. The woodcutter said it was not his, and returned the same answer when a silver axe was brought to the surface. Only when his own tool is produced, does he claim it. Impressed by his honesty, the god allows him to keep all three axes.
