Blood Of Zeus: 10 Greek Mythology References You Might Have Missed
1. Athena, Aphrodite, Dionysus, Artemis, Nike, And Other Background Olympians
The large cast of gods and heroes that populate the beautiful Olympus means that not all of them can have the screen-time they perhaps deserve, but quite a few of them can be identified by their physical appearances, while others were confirmed by the creators, whether it be the Parlapanides brothers or Powerhouse Animation.
Athena and Aphrodite in particular are fairly easy to pick out in the crowd. Athena appears in her iconic armour in most scenes she's in, including during the original battle with the giants. She's also seen sparring with Ares at one point, a nod to their statuses as gods of war. Aphrodite, with her pink hair and voluptuousness, is also fairly easy to spot. Artemis, with silver hair and moon iconography, contrasts with her brother Apollo, and is one of Zeus's children who stands with Heron upon arrival.
Dionysus is fairly easy to spot as well, with his purple garb and grapes and ever-present drunken blush. Though confirmed to be unnamed by Powerhouse's Twitter, one of the goddesses with her head-wings may be Nike, while another, older goddess is confirmed as Demeter.
Hopefully we'll see more of these characters come season 2, playing bigger roles.
