Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The animated Netflix show Blood of Zeus delivers a fresh but faithful take on Greek mythology, mixing characters from classic Greek myths with some new creations. Created by Charley and Vlas Parlapanides, the series follows Heron, a young man shunned from his village for being illegitimate, who discovers that he is actually the son of the god Zeus.
Seraphim Voiced By Elias Toufexis Seraphim, like Heron, does not appear in Greek myth, and he actually strays the furthest from real mythical roots. Though evil demons do exist in Greek mythology, they bear no relationship to the giants like the demons in Blood of Zeus do. Seraphim’s tragic origins also do not seem to appear anywhere in Greek mythology, making him more of a creative offshoot than other characters in the show.
She feels humiliated by Zeus’s actions, and even reminds him that she was Queen of the Heavens before he came along . Zeus’s affairs not only hurt Hera, but also humiliate her: they undermine her sense of pride and authority. Her anger towards Zeus is much more well-rounded and though it ultimately spirals out of control, it is deeply understandable and indicative of real-world issues of gender and power.
Evios And Kofi Voiced By Chris Diamantopoulos And Adetokumboh M'Cormack Evios and Kofi do not appear in Greek myth, but are important characters in Blood of Zeus. They befriend Heron when they all meet while imprisoned by Seraphim and the other demons. Helping Heron to escape, they become loyal allies and provide some much-needed levity to an otherwise intense show.
Hermes has the added gift of super speed afforded to him by his winged sandals, allowing him to fight skillfully for his father Zeus Hades Voiced By Fred Tatasciore Hades is noticeably absent from Blood of Zeus until the season 1 finale, “War for Olympus.” Like his mythic counterpart, Hades is King of the Underworld, guarding the souls of the dead. It isn’t until Seraphim awakes near the river Styx that Hades reveals his malevolent intentions. He discloses that he is the true owner of Seraphim’s bident and demands that Seraphim kneel to him in exchange for salvation from eternal suffering.
Ares sides with Hera during the civil war in Blood of Zeus season 1, and one of his most notable moments is fighting with Apollo. In Blood of Zeus season 2, Ares competes with Heron to inherit Zeus's ring. He later appears at Zeus's farewell ceremony, and while he definitely shows Heron animosity throughout his appearances in the second season, he's no longer positions as an antagonist.
