Netflix’s Blood of Zeus
Every decade or so, some form of Greek mythology-related content comes out that not only inspires the respective generation of young adults but also ensures that those amazing stories and legends will live on. In the 1990s, it was Disney’s ‘Hercules’. In the 2000s and 2010s, the mantle was passed to Rick Riordan’s ‘Percy Jackson’ book series. With the release of Netflix’s ‘Blood of Zeus,’ it appears that the 2020s has already found its seminal pop-cultural work on Hellenism.
The show is made by the same production company that created ‘Castlevania,’ the Powerhouse Animation Studios. Their unique brand of animation is a perfect blend of Japanese and western style. In the show, it acutely supplements the rich and complex plot, which itself maintains an effortless balance between the traditional Greek Mythology and the lore that the showrunners, Charley and Vlas Parlapanides, invented
