Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas - The Myth of Hades (聖闘士星矢 THE LOST CANVAS 冥王神話 Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas - Meiō Shinwa) is a 26-episode anime OVA series released in Japan from June 24, 2009 to July 20, 2011.

It is based on the homonymous manga written and illustrated by Shiori Teshirogi, which is a spin-off of Masami Kurumada's Saint Seiya.

On March 13, 2012, at an anime convention in Spain, TMS Entertainment reported the cancellation of the series, due to its low popularity in Japan. Finally, on April 26, 2013, TMS through its Twitter account confirmed that there will be no third season.

Synopsis A Holy War, from ancient mythology, where the Goddess Athena and Hades have fought against each other while defending the earth repeatedly over the span of 200 years. The story takes place in 18th-century Europe, 243 years prior to the original Saint Seiya. Three small children, Tenma, Alone, and Sasha have all shared a very happy childhood together. Tenma who is quite aggressive but upstanding has moved to Sanctuary to become a saint. It is there that he is reunited with Sasha who is the sister of Alone and learns that she is the reincarnation of Goddess Athena. Alone, who is kind, gentle and loves painting was chosen for the body of enemy King Hades. Tenma eventually becomes a saint of Pegasus and engages in a fierce battle with his best friend Alone, the King of Hades. Pegasus Tenma, King Hades, and the Goddess Athena and through the twist of their 3 fates merge together which unfolds a prologue to the original Saint Seiya.

Notes

• Prior to the dub's production and release on Netflix, the series was previously released by Discotek Media on a sub-only DVD. Due to poor sales, it's unlikely that Discotek will re-release it with the dub.
• This is the first and so far only Saint Seiya series to be dubbed in Los Angeles.
