Bubo (Clash of the Titans)
- Bubo (Clash of the Titans)
Bubo was the name of a mechanical owl in the 1981 film "Clash of the Titans".It was a gift of Zeus made by Hephaestus for Perseus since Athena would not cede her companion bird.He did not appear in the original Greek myth of Perseus and was invented for the film. Despite his resemblance to the droid R2-D2 of the contemporary "", Ray Harryhausen actually started work before that film was released[ [http://www.theseventhvoyage.com/bubo.htm Bubo 1981] .] : "contrary to what some critics said at the time, Bubo was invented before R2D2"][Ray Harryhausen and Tony Dalton, "Ray Harryhausen: An Animated Life", page 270 (London: Aurum Press Ltd, 2003) ISBN 1854109405. Quoted in [http://a.parsons.edu/~ggangemi/hoa/images/clash.pdf Term Paper: Clash of the Titans: Gregory Gangemi] .] .]The name "Bubo" is the Latin word for the horned owl. This choice is ironic, given that the movie is set in ancient Greece.
