Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: After an entire episode of squabbling, Tyrannis defends Deliria's honor when Athena dismisses him, and Deliria shows up to defend him afterwards. When Athena turns him into a snake later, Deliria gives a Big "NO!" in response.

Only Sane Man: Tyrannis sees himself as this. However, it also stems from his arrogance, as he isn't always right.

Deconstructor Fleet: As expected from a Dan Harmon show, the series deconstructs many story and genre conventions. In this shows case, it plays with both family sitcoms and Classical Mythology.

Jerkass Gods: The first episode shows how self-centered Deliria is, particularly when it comes to her social standing among other gods since she's banished from Olympus. She justifies it as mortals dying regardless of how they're treated, while immortal lives means immortal social lives.

Inferiority Superiority Complex: Hephaestus is an Insufferable Genius who believes he's above everyone but is also desperate for his family's approval so he works to build them whatever they like, no matter how petty or frivolous it is. He's perfectly aware that they're dysfunctional and insane, but has decided that it's the only worthwhile thing he can work towards.

Nice Guy: Shlub can fall under the Mr. Vice Guy trope as well as he can be inappropriate and Innocently Insensitive sometimes. Despite that, he is a rather likable and agreeable person (or mythical creature) as well as a loving and supportive dad to Tyrannis, Stupendous, and Hippocampus.

Tech Bro: Hephaestus is revealed to be a Classically Mythological version of this. While everyone knows him as the God of "Makin' Stuff", it turns out that he doesn't actually do any inventing. Instead, he charms actual inventors into doing all the work for him and he peddles their work as his own. He even throws conventions where he works up the crowd with elaborate performances, recruiting nay-sayers to make him look humble.

Semi-Divine: The primary cast has the king Tyrannis, his cyclops half-sister Stupendous and his fish-man half-brother Hippocampus. Tyrannis is the son of the manticore/centaur hybrid Shlub and the goddess Deliria, with Stupendous being Deliria's daughter with a cyclops and Hippocampus being Shlub's son with an unknown being.
