Greek tragedy and inter-familial godly drama is back on the map thanks to the popularity and critical acclaim of Netflix's newest anime, Blood of Zeus. It's a classic tale told with a new spin: a Greek hero who is unsurprisingly an illegitimate child of Zeus who must then become a hero in the most disadvantageous of circumstances.

Such a formula has been largely successful and has had many adaptations in the past and present. Blood of Zeus only reinforced just how effective this trope can be again. Of course, viewers would likely be left wanting more of ancient mythological gods and their misbegotten sons (or daughters); sadly there aren't many media like Blood of Zeus save for films that explore similar aspects of mythological heroism like these.
