Added DiffLines:

* GodsHandsAreTied: The explanation for why the Gods don't just take down Cronus themselves is that a prophecy states the seven heroes will defeat him. It makes sense why they play a supportive role - they are Greek gods, they know personally that YouCantFightFate.


Added DiffLines:

* WhereTheHellIsSpringfield: The location of New Olympia is never specified; it appears to be somewhere around North America, but it apparently is close enough to the Mediterranean for the heroes to frequently visit famous places from Classical mythology.

* HatePlague: Happens in two episodes. The first time was in ValentinesDayEpisode "Bows and Eros", Cronus mind-controls Eros (Cupid) to spread hate on Valentine's Day instead of love. The second time was in "Applet of Discord", where Eris the goddess of strife spreads strife with a ringtone that encourages fighting. Both times, they break up the seven heroes for a time until they realize whats up.

* YouDontLookLikeYou:
** Hercules is depicted as pot-bellied and bald (albeit still possessing his great strength). "Labour Day" shows he looked more like what you'd expect during the days of Ancient Greece.
** This is discussed InUniverse when Herry, Atlanta, and Archie watch a remake of ''Film/JasonAndTheArgonauts''. Atlanta takes issue with how the Harpies are depicted as GorgeousGorgon types (not that Archie's complaining) and (in a bit of SelfDeprecation) says filmmakers never get this kind of stuff right. They also comment on how buff the movie version of Zeus is compared to the guy they know.
