Sliding Scale of Free Will vs. Fate
 Blood of Zeus / int_10cd849f
comment
Sliding Scale of Free Will vs. Fate: Both fate and free will actually co-exist. This is because while The Fates themselves can forsee the path of men, they still have control of their own actions. Their analogy is the one of an adult looking at a baby crawling on a table: the adult knows that if the child keeps crawling they'll fall, and this is the foresight of fate - but knowing this doesn't remove the baby's free will to crawl to the edge of the table.

Double Standard: Rape, Divine on Mortal
 Blood of Zeus / int_1242b9d4
comment
Double Standard: Rape, Divine on Mortal: Zigzagged. Zeus impersonates Electra's husband in order to sleep with her and it's never treated as rape in-universe. Electra eventually figured out that there was a second person pretending to be the king, but never suspected it was a god (as the king was cruel, heartless, and treated her as an object, while Zeus himself treated her with love and respect). Though, the seeming constant vacillation between affection and disinterest from her husband causes her no end of grief.

Sadly Mythtaken: The race of giants were not born from the blood of a dying Titan. They were the children of Gaia and Uranus in the mythology. Hera's sacred animals include peacocks, cuckoos and cows, not crows. This was likely changed as crows are a more fitting animal for a villainous character.

Deliberate Injury Gambit: How Heron finally defeats Seraphim. Seraphim has him in a nelson hold and summons the bident to stab him, which Heron is barely able to push away… until he decides to stop fighting and yanks on it instead, impaling himself and Seraphim. It doesn't kill either of them, but it does weaken him enough for Heron to fry him with lightning.

Batman Gambit: Hera might want her revenge, but she can't so long as Zeus's law prevents them from directly interfering with the lives of mortals. The only way she can break it is if Zeus himself breaks it first. She knows if she has his lover killed and keeps putting his son's life in danger, that he will eventually violate his decree to save Heron, allowing her to act with impunity in the mortal world without fear of reprisal.

comment
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: It didn't really take Electra that long to realize that the man who treated her well wasn't her husband. The contrast was simply too great between them for it to be madness. Heron's first reaction to flight isn't awe, but abject terror, as you'd expect from a guy living long before aircraft would even be conceived. Heron, Alexia, Kofi, and Eivor try to sit quadruple on a griffon. Eivor promptly falls off and has to be carried in its claws.

Disproportionate Retribution: Just as in Classical Mythology, Hera is a fan of this trope. Wanting revenge on Zeus for his infidelity, perfectly reasonable. Creating a demonic army to slay the entirety of mankind and reviving the giants, not so much. And yet, she had the gall to tell him that it was all his fault.

Heel–Face Turn: Poseidon realizes that Hera has gone too far, so he saves Apollo and sides once more with Olympus. That and Hera promised the Giants the sea itself. The rest of the gods who sided with Hera also side again with Olympus when Seraphim and the giants betrayed them.

Demoted to Dragon: The first couple episodes set Seraphim up as the Big Bad or at least sharing the role with Hera. When the two encounter, Hera subsequently dominates him and reduces him to her lackey. He breaks out of this and reclaims the main villain mantle during the finale.

Sequel Hook: In the end, Seraphim is seen in Hades with the titular god promising freedom from his predicament in exchange for his loyalty. It's unknown where Hera disappears to at the end of everything. The ultimate whereabouts of the giant corpses Seraphim was using to make demons was never resolved.

Titanomachy, Round Two: More like Gigantomachy Round Two. The Giants were born from a curse by the last Titan (who in this version are all dead). They were defeated by the Gods with some of their souls imprisoned. They were later released by Hera in her revenge against Zeus. The main protagonist, Heron, is Zeus' illegitimate son.

The Power of Hate
 Blood of Zeus / int_6a6760fa
comment
At one point, Seraphim tells Heron that his eyes are full of hate, and that's good because hate gives a man strength. This is almost word for word what Quintus Arrius tells Judah Ben-Hur when they first meet in Ben-Hur. Seraphim later claims that Heron is for him or against him, to which Heron replies that if there must be a choice he's against him, reflecting a line of dialogue between Judah and Messala in the same film.

Meaningful Look: When Zeus saved Hera long ago from a giant's attack, he held her close and winked at her. In the climax when Hera is about to be killed by a giant who has betrayed her, Zeus is trapped in the mouth of the giant's snake limb. He looks at Hera and winks again before sacrificing himself to save her.

Covers Always Lie: Much of the promotional material for the first season shows Heron brandishing the adamantine sword that Zeus forges as if it’s his signature weapon. In reality, the sword is in his possession for a fraction of the second episode, during which he throws it away in anger. Seraphim eventually lays claim to it in episode 5 and it becomes his secondary weapon from then on, until he loses it when fighting Talos.

Didn't Think This Through: Hera's plan hinges on the fact that Zeus was able to convince two of the giants (with both being possibly Hekatonkheires and the Cyclops) into defecting and thought she could do the same with the rest, ignoring the fact that Zeus did this without strong-arming them and convince them of their own free will, while Hera literally forced the revived ones into working for her or die once more.

Never My Fault: Even as the Giants and daemons raze Olympus, both directed at her command, Hera claims that Zeus should have thought of this before sleeping with Electra. Seraphim takes no accountability for killing his mother. Granted he didn't know at the time it happened but he takes none even after he finds out, placing all the blame on the gods which also ignores the fact that only Hera tricked and abetted Seraphim in Electra's demise.

comment
The Hero Doesn't Kill the Villainess: In the climactic battle of season 1, Heron kills his evil brother Seraphim and uses the Cauldron of Darkness to absorb the Giants' souls. Hera, the Big Bad of the season, escapes before this happens, though not unscathed.

Fan Disservice: Yes, there are topless women in this series. Problem is, the only ones that aren't conveniently censored are the giants. The ugliest of them even gets a shot of her breasts bouncing, with the camera giving the Male Gaze, just to rub in how unsexy it is.

Shout-Out
 Blood of Zeus / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: At one point, Seraphim tells Heron that his eyes are full of hate, and that's good because hate gives a man strength. This is almost word for word what Quintus Arrius tells Judah Ben-Hur when they first meet in Ben-Hur. Seraphim later claims that Heron is for him or against him, to which Heron replies that if there must be a choice he's against him, reflecting a line of dialogue between Judah and Messala in the same film. Hephaestus possesses a mechanical owl that makes noises identical to Bubo from Clash of the Titans (1981). Electra's line "You mean it today. It just makes it so much harder when you don't" is lifted verbatim from The Prestige. Talos' posture and the metallic sound effects that play when he moves around are taken from the scene of Talos from Jason and the Argonauts. Elias recounting the Giantomacy visually resembles the iconic ending of End of Evangelion in it's color scheme and red oceans. Seraphim finds Acrisius in a cave and has his presence known by his shadow cast on the wall, in reference to the Platonic Cave. Chiron trying to justify why he sold out Alexia to the demons is almost word for word what Lando says in The Empire Strikes Back. "I had no choice. They arrived just before you did".

Cannon Fodder: Though a threat to the heroes throughout the story, the daemons become roughly as relevant as ants in deciding the course of battle in the final episode. Barring Seraphim, they're mostly there to get offhandedly massacred by whatever god is showing off a neat trick.

comment
No Name Given: None of the Giants are named, but some are clearly designed on various monsters in Greek Mythology. In particular, the two Giants that defected resemble the Cyclops and the Hekatonkheires, allies of the Gods during the Titanomachy, and the lead Giant with snakes coming out of their shoulders evokes Typhon, Zeus's archenemy, concept art even shows the snakes were supposed to replace their legs instead. Several of the Gods on Olympus also suffer from this, though again, their designs are enough to identify Artemis, Aphrodite, Dionysus, Hephaestus, and Hyacinth* Apollo's male lover, bearing a scar from his discus accident among others.

Hoist by His Own Petard: If Hera hadn't manipulated Seraphim into killing Electra then Zeus wouldn't have had the means to turn the resentful demon against her at the most crucial moment. For that matter, Zeus forging the Adamantium blade for Heron ended up helping Seraphim and Hera far more than Heron; Seraphim would likely have never defeated Talos without it.
