CS2 Skins in the Style of Ancient Egypt and Ancient Greece: Harness the Power of the Gods and Dominate the Server
Mythological culture is often encountered in everyday life, and Counter-Strike 2 is no exception. We’ve noticed that skin creators frequently draw inspiration from the grand civilizations of the past, building their designs around divine imagery. Egyptian pharaohs, Greek gods, and ancient symbols come to life in vibrant and detailed artwork. In this article, we’ll explore the most stunning examples and take a look at collections imbued with the spirit of myths and legends.
Greece:
M4A4 | Poseidon
- Factory New – $1700.16
- Minimal Wear – $1150.10
- Field-Tested – $846.34
We start with the most expensive skin in this selection, one that no Counter-Strike player would refuse. Poseidon, the god of the seas and ruler of the waters, is embodied in this skin. Bright shades of turquoise and blue symbolize the raging waves, while the depiction of the god holding a trident emphasizes his power. Like any artwork featuring a human figure, this skin allows for many interesting crafts, though in this case, we believe the intricate design stands best on its own. The M4A4 Poseidon is not just a weapon; it’s a masterpiece that evokes fierce storms, the boundless depths of the seas, and immerses players in the atmosphere of ancient Greek myths.
Zeus x27 | Olympus
- Factory New – $21.58
- Minimal Wear – $14.22
- Field-Tested – $9.93
- Well-Worn – $9.50
- Battle-Scarred – $8.30
The first skin for this weapon is more than fitting, especially considering that the taser itself is named after the supreme ruler of Mount Olympus. Olympus, the sacred dwelling of the Greek gods, and Zeus, their chief deity, serve as the foundation of this skin’s design. Executed in white and gold tones, it symbolizes the celestial realm. The lightning bolts adorning the weapon remind players of the thunder god’s legendary power, while intricate patterns further highlight its divine essence.
FAMAS | Eye of Athena
- Factory New – $23.50

With the latest update, this rifle has become very popular, so why not add one of the best examples to your inventory? This skin is named after Athena, the goddess of wisdom and military strategy. Its deep blue color symbolizes wisdom, while golden patterns emphasize the weapon’s divine origin. The Eye of Athena on the body of the rifle represents all-seeing knowledge, guiding its wielder to victory. With this skin, you’re not just getting a stunning design, but also a fitting talisman for playing as a Counter-Terrorist.
MAG-7 | Justice
- Factory New – $13.61
- Minimal Wear – $6.02
- Field-Tested – $2.82
- Well-Worn – $2.24
- Battle-Scarred – $2.19
Though this skin’s name doesn’t reference a specific Greek god, the word “justice” is one of the fundamental principles of ancient Greek civilization. This skin embodies the power of law. In mythology, justice was represented by Themis, often depicted blindfolded and holding scales. Her silhouette can be seen on this shotgun, and if you’re a Metallica fan, you might recognize the statue from the cover of their album …And Justice for All. The MAG-7 Justice is an ideal choice for those who value order and discipline in the game—but don’t rush to use it in every round.
MP7 | Nemesis
- Factory New – $15.00
- Minimal Wear – $9.11
- Field-Tested – $7.65
The goddess of retribution is depicted through a monstrous visage, reminiscent of creatures from classic horror films like Alien vs Predator. While the skin’s design may not be the most accurate representation of a deity, no one truly knows what the gods looked like, right?
Egypt:
Now we turn to the legendary figures of Ancient Egypt that have made their way onto the Steam marketplace. Most of them, as expected, are hidden within the Anubis Collection.

- Factory New – $19.09
- Minimal Wear – $11.50
- Field-Tested – $6.85
- Well-Worn – $4.88
- Battle-Scarred – $5.47
This skin pays homage to the great Pharaoh Ramses II, one of the most powerful rulers of Ancient Egypt. His conquests and monumental structures left such a lasting mark on history that they’ve now been immortalized on a pistol in Counter-Strike. The black-and-gold color scheme reflects his grandeur and authority, while the elegant ornaments on the gun’s body symbolize the cultural heritage of Ramses’ era. This Glock-18 seems to have absorbed the power and energy of the legendary pharaoh.

Anubis, the god of funerary rites and the guide of souls, inspired the creation of this luxurious rifle. Another skin, the PP-Bizon | Judgement of Anubis, is also dedicated to him, but we’ve chosen to highlight the AK-47. The dark color palette represents death and the afterlife, while the detailed patterns resemble the tombs of the pharaohs. Looking at this skin, one can imagine Anubis’ ancient army guarding the entrance to the underworld. The weapon’s engravings resemble ancient magical symbols, meant to protect its wielder.

We’ve already covered a Greek-themed FAMAS, so now it’s time for its Egyptian counterpart. Nephthys, the goddess of water, night, and protection, is associated with the dark waters of the afterlife, but this skin is strikingly vibrant. The shimmering blue and turquoise tones create the illusion of flowing water. When inspecting the skin, the reflections and highlights seem to contain the power of the goddess herself, instilling confidence even in the direst in-game situations.

This skin is inspired by Apep, the Egyptian god of chaos and destruction. In mythology, Apep was a giant serpent battling the sun god Ra, and his silhouette is featured on the grip of this pistol. The design incorporates patterns reminiscent of ancient Egyptian inscriptions, while the worn texture makes it look like it was freshly unearthed from an archaeological dig. A scarab beetle, symbolizing rebirth and transformation, also appears, echoing the amulets worn for luck and protection.
