7	Aeons ago, the old gods emerged from the primordial chaos, order was created, and Cronos ruled the world, [[EatsBabies gobbling his children]]. And then came Zeus, who dethroned him. Except Cronos is [[Music/PublicEnemy a rapper guy with a clock medallion]], and Zeus turns the dwelling of the Gods into a large office managing all of Greece. The story switches between the main action, retelling known Greek legends with a modern twist and the Muses commenting on the events like... [[GreekChorus well, you know]].

9	The comic used to be located on [[http://www.zeusandsons.com this]] site, which, unfortunately, no longer seems to exist. Fortunately, however, much of the comic seems to have been saved by the Website/WaybackMachine, with most of the saved pages dating back to a ''surprisingly thorough'' crawl of the website that happened around October 2012, not long after the comic became [[OrphanedSeries Orphaned]].

11	The comic contains some sexual themes and strong language.
12	----
13	!!This webcomic provides examples of:
14	* BadassBiker: Subverted. Although Hades does some things that may be considered badass like ruling the Underworld and raising skeletons, next thing you know, he's [[spoiler:crying his eyes out after a failed blind date, cuddling a tiny three-headed puppy and awkwardly proposing to Aphrodite]].
15	* ConspiracyTheorist: Urania thinks Aphrodite's going to lead a testicle revolution, or that her mother may have brainwashed mortals into forgetting how to start a fire.
16	* CuteMonster: Cerberus, described in-universe as "just too cute".
17	* CuteMonsterGirl: Echidna, if you disregard the snake tail and big claws.
18	* DoNotAttempt: The Napalmolive commercial has a disclaimer dissuading mortal readers from using that shower gel.
19	%%* EmoTeen: Melpomene.
20	* GagNose: Aphrodite mocks Hera's large nose, giving her nicknames like "Big Conk".
21	* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Aphrodite's glow pink.
22	* GodivaHair: Aphrodite first appears nude, with her long hair covering her naughty bits.
23	* GoodOldWays: Clio appears to consider the prehistoric lifestyle as simpler and healthier.
24	* GoofyPrintUnderwear: Cronos is depicted with it.
25	* HumanNotepad: Mnemosyne's back has tattoos of things she should try to remember on it. Mundane things. Including one that urges her to "find a solution in case writing space runs out".
26	* MartialArtsHeadband: Worn by Calliope.
27	* MotorMouth: Echo, freelance chat-pal. Judging by her glazed stare and wide smile, she may very well fall within TalkativeLoon territory
28	* PerpetualSmiler: Thalia is always depicted smiling or grinning.
29	%%* RedEyesTakeWarning: Ares.
30	* {{Sexophone}}: Lampshaded by Euterpe the first time Aphrodite appears to Zeus.
31	* ShoutOut: A bunch of them (from ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}'' to ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'').
32	* TwinkleSmile: Look at the page's image. Baby Hermes doesn't even have teeth, but his ''gums'' twinkle.
