Live From Mount Olympus is a podcast by the Onassis Foundation that combines contemporary theater with the storytelling of Greek mythology.The first season retells the story of Perseus, who makes a vow to save his mother from the tyrannical King Polydectes by slaying the Gorgon Medusa and bringing back her head. Assisting Perseus on his quest are the gods Athena and Hermes, the latter played by André De Shields of Hadestown fame. But while the gods can offer advice and assistance, Perseus must ultimately do things himself as he comes into his own as a hero.The second season retells the myth of Persephone's abduction by Hades. Tired of literally following in her mother's footsteps, young Persephone chances a picnic with her friends, only to be stolen away to the Underworld. As Persephone grapples with being on her own for the first time, Demeter, furious and heartbroken over her daughter's disappearance, threatens the safety of the entire world as she refuses to make anything grow.The third season retells the myth of Atalanta, who was raised by bears since infancy and possessed great speed and skill at the hunt. As she grows into womanhood, she often finds herself at odds with the strange world of humans, especially everyone wanting her to get married. Meanwhile, the prince Meleager calls together a hunt for the Calydonian boar, and Atalanta would be a worthy asset—if they can convince the party of men to allow her to join.The whole series can be listened to here. | |

Adaptation Deviation | |
| Live From Mount Olympus (Podcast) / int_23a1e2a9 | comment |
Adaptation Deviation: Rather than visiting King Atlas and turning him into stone for refusal of hospitality, Perseus visits the Titan Atlas and offers to turn him into stone to ease his burden of holding the sky, but Atlas refuses. | |

In the End, You Are on Your Own: The gods can assist Perseus by giving equipment and advice, but cannot aid him directly—ultimately, this is Perseus's quest, and he must complete it on his own. | |

Can't Get Away with Nuthin': Persephone is tired of merely trailing behind Demeter and painting flowers. When she breaks free from her mother's gaze to join Artemis and Athena for a picnic, of course, she's kidnapped. | |

Lemony Narrator | |
| Live From Mount Olympus (Podcast) / int_6d57a234 | comment |
Lemony Narrator: In the first episode, Hermes cuts in to tell the audience that Polydectes is just as bad as Dictys says, if not worse. The second season begins with Hermes and Hecate arguing over the weather on the day Persephone was kidnapped, and Hermes giving Hecate narration duties since she was actually there. | |

Disc-One Final Boss: While she's the subject of Perseus's quest and the reason he goes on his adventure, Medusa is killed halfway through the story. The final monster Perseus battles is Cetus. | |

Ascended Extra | |
| Live From Mount Olympus (Podcast) / int_a65288e2 | comment |
Ascended Extra: Hermes had a sparing role in the original myth and only stopped to lend his winged sandals, and Athena acted as Perseus's main helper. In the podcast he's frequently alongside her and helps Perseus much more, helping him learn to fly and spiriting him to far-off places. He also narrates the tale. | |
