D&D 5E Class idea

First Post
So has anybody created a class based around the effects of weapons and items from mythology? Considered trying to create a new class after I finish up the Aasimar racial class I'm working on.

Generally a class is what the hero themselves does, and the presence of their weapon might be something that they were famed for, but isn't something that their class is.
Thor was the god of thunder etc, before he was given his hammer. And so on.

Might need a little clarification on that your concept for this class is.
 

I was considering making it a subclass of the fighter, but basically the idea is that the class is a hero builder, think Roland, Siegfried, Achilles, Arthur ,or Merlin, with the subclasses based around a specific item, building it up in some shape fashion or form to turn the item into an artifact. The goal would be to turn the character into a mythological hero, with subclass giving them roles that they excel at.
