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. |

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. |
