Olympus

    In General 
  • All Myths Are True: While a number of the many Greek Gods have been seen it's no surprise to have any new ones or their stories show up as true as any bit of mythology is available to be pulled into the story-weaving of the DCU.
  • Big, Screwed-Up Family: On a cosmic scale, just ask about anyone with any relation to the gods falls under this, not to mention the gods themselves.
  • Deity of Human Origin: The first six Olympians are all former humans given divine blessings and ascended to godhood by the Titans, making them siblings in spirit.
  • Jerkass Gods: Typical of the Greek Pantheon sadly and in ways like you wouldn't believe in this universe.
  • Physical God: Their titles come with devastatingly immense strength and abilities.
  • Shapeshifting: They're all shape-shifters who can choose their forms, with the 12 Olympians, the ruling and top gods, having the most flexible control over their forms.
  • Unrelated in the Adaptation: Unlike the classical myths, here the six eldest Olympians are only considered siblings due to receiving some of the Titan Kronos' powers, becoming soul-bound to him.
  • Was Once a Man: Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Hera, Demeter, and Hestia were mortals who received power from Kronos, becoming gods.

    Zeus 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/zeus__earth_27__edit_by_roysovitch_dc4g2ik_pre.jpg

The ruler of Olympus. He is married to Hera and has many extramarital children, including Diana and Cassie Sandsmark. He is the most powerful of the Greek Gods and can be a massive dirtbag because of it.


  • Abusive Parents: His treatment of his kids varies from bragging about them to not caring (or knowing) about them, to being an outright dick depending on how he feels that day.
  • Animal Motif: The Eagle, which is his domain animal.
  • Blow You Away: With the Sky being his dominion, Zeus has a special affinity with the element of air. Using this, he can sense the flow of the tides or generate enough air pressure to create a tsunami or a storm.
  • Daddy Had a Good Reason for Abandoning You: He never had the time to spend with Diana and Cassie due to his duties as a God.
  • Elemental Powers: As the god of the storms, Zeus is able to manipulate the weather.
  • Extreme Omnisexual: He's Zeus, and while he might prefer women, he's not above taking men as lovers.
  • Parental Neglect: He even has his faults of not being around in life with his demigod children including Diana and Cassie Sandsmark due to being the king of Olympus. Cassie even Lampshades this referring to him as "Absentee Dad of the Century".
  • Really Gets Around: It wouldn't be Zeus if he didn't. He sired daughters with Hippolyta and Helena Sandsmark (And many, many, many, many, many, many, many women).
  • Shock and Awe: Zeus is able to create and manipulate electricity with lethal efficiency.
  • Voluntary Shapeshifting: Zeus is able to alter his physical form at will. A lot of the time he manifests himself as a bald eagle.

    Hera 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hera__earth_27__edit_by_roysovitch_dc4g2hf_pre.jpg

The other ruler of Olympus. Most stories agree that Hera made a bet with Zeus that if He could get her to say "I love you" she would marry him. He managed it by tricking her by turning into a Cuckoo bird and pretending to be injured. They got married and Zeus, after about 350 years, began to cheat on her... for almost 4000 years.


  • Clingy Jealous Girl: To Zeus.
  • Cool Crown: Wears an impressive tiara.
  • Dysfunctional Family: Tries to hide the fact that she's the matriarch of one, but it doesn't really work.
  • Not Blood Siblings: With Zeus. A lot of the other pantheons think that it's weird and bring it up whenever they're feeling snippy.
  • Purple Is Powerful: Dresses in a purple dress and she's the queen of Olympus.
  • Wicked Stepmother: The original. Displays this the most out of the Big Three's wives, as she's the goddess of marriage and her husband's demigod children are an attack upon her domain. This is the reason she, Diana and Cassandra don't get on.
  • Would Hurt a Child: Tried to have Diana killed as a child because she was Zeus' daughter by Hippolyta, one of her chosen people, and is perfectly happy to obliquely threaten Cassie.

    Poseidon 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/poseidon__earth_27__edit_by_roysovitch_dc4g2i8_pre.jpg

The god, and ruler, of the sea. Poseidon loves his realm and hates seafood restaurants.


    Demeter 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/demeter_9.jpg
Goddess of Agriculture, Goddess of Fertility, Goddess of the Harvest, Goddess of the Horticulture, Goddess of Mills, Goddess of Ranching, Goddess of Sacred Law, and Sacred mother of the Natural Order. Most of the time, she is a great, kind, and generous person, but if you harm dryads or the earth as a whole, she can be scarier then Zeus.
  • Curse: With a glare, Demeter can curse others with the chaotic energies of primal creation. The effects are random and vary from the affliction of self-cannibalism to transforming into an animal. Though the effects are temporary for the divine, the effects are all too permanent for mortals.
  • Green Thumb: Plants are part of her domain. She controls plants on a massive scale. She can also accelerate plant growth and replenish recently rotted crops with a wave of her hand.
  • Healing Hands: Rhea endowed Demeter with the power to use essence to enrich organic matter and thereby restore it's vigor. With this ability, she can instantly heal minor ailments, cure impotence or infertility over time, and get an overall sense of the general health of all beings in her locality. With Demeter's particular variation of this affinity, an insatiable libido seems to be common.
  • Not Blood Siblings: While they aren't biologically siblings, she still sired Persephone with her spirit brother Poseidon.
  • Redhead In Green: Wears green and is a redhead.
  • Significant Green-Eyed Redhead: She's one of the six eldest Olympian gods and she has emerald eyes and dark red hair.
  • Statuesque Stunner: She stands at 5'10"/178cm and she's very much beautiful.

    Hestia 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hestia_classical_neolympus.jpg
Click for Vesta 
Known to the Romans as Vesta, she's the Steward of Haven, Goddess of Architecture, Goddess of Domestic Arts, Goddess of Family, Goddess of the Hearth, Goddess of the Home, Goddess of the Sacrificial Fire, and member of the Quorum of Six. She is also an ally of humanity. In case you didn't know, Hestia is the goddess who allowed Prometheus to steal fire for the humans. Basically, Zeus didn't want the little cockroaches to arm themselves, but Prometheus wanted to see humanity advance so he stole fire from the Hearth of Olympus. It's pretty obvious that Hestia saw him do it because she's always at the hearth and it's practically impossible to knockout a goddess without copious amounts of alcohol, so I guess she just turned a blind eye cause she also wanted to see humanity advance. You never know.
  • Curtains Match the Windows: Orange hair and pale orange eyes.
  • Domain Holder: Hestia is regarded as the Sacred Steward of the Haven and its Hostess. It is generally regarded that the Haven is her home and she allows the Olympians to hold court there and not the other way around. Hestia makes the rules of the Haven and residents must abide by them or be subject to the punishments for violating the Laws of Hospitality.
  • Feminine Women Can Cook: Hestia has an instinctive understanding of the disciplines known as the domestic arts: baking, cooking, cleaning, sewing, and other practical skills needed to serve the residents of a household. Hestia instinctively understands the recipe for any meal or dessert she encounters. She can also use essence to instantly decontaminate her surroundings or mend a person's damaged clothing. Hestia can also bestow such domestic skills upon mortal minds and has an intrinsic connection to mortals who already have mastered such knowledge.
  • Gaydar: Hestia has the ability to sense if a woman personally identifies as an omophile or amphiphile, or even if they have Sapphic curiosities. Hestia finds great comfort in the presence of such individuals and she can bring them tremendous comfort with her presence. In fact, she can really give anyone comfort, even without her powers, she is a very comforting person to be around
  • Heart Is an Awesome Power: Goddess of the Hearth and Home, and one of the most important deities in the Greek Pantheon, even if she never starred any famous stories.
  • House Wife: She's essentially the epitome of a housewife thanks to her role as the Goddess of Home, despite the fact that she is not a housewife, since the requirements for THAT include a spouse and kids, and she is in the forever single club.
  • Lipstick Lesbian: She's quite feminine and domestic and she's only attracted to women. Hell, she was even born in Lesbos, Greece, which originated the word lesbian. This is kind of a big deal since most gods are Omnisexual or Pansexual. Hestia is one of the few outright lesbian goddesses and serves as a symbol for lesbians everywhere.
  • Little Big Sister: She's the oldest of the original six Olympians, but she merely stands at 5'2", making her much shorter than her younger spirit siblings.
  • Sensor Character: Hestia has the ability to sense when sacrificial fires are lit, burnt offerings are made, or cremations occur within ten miles of her. When she is in the Haven, this includes any such events occurring within ten miles of a Great Temple. When such events happen, Hestia is aware of the purpose for these and can hear any prayers or eulogies made if she so chooses. This purview bestows mastery of Empyrean essence upon her.

    Aphrodite 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/aphrodite_classical_neolympus.jpg
If I had to sum up Aphrodite, I would have to say that she is tricky and hard to deal with at times, but so is love. So, you do you, sex-addicted goddess. To be fair Aphrodite is known for more than that. For starters, she's the one who came up with the idea of Pandora, AKA the first woman. You know, the chick with the box that had all the spirits of misery that humanity still has to deal with today. I guess in a roundabout way you can blame Aphrodite. Most people do because of their love problems.
  • A Family Affair: She still constantly has romantic escapades with her husband's brother Ares, although their relationship remains surprisingly good.
  • Love Goddess: She's The Love Goddess of the Greek Pantheon.
  • Pink Is Erotic: She has pink eyes, what little clothes she wears are pink, and she loves having sex. She is basically the Bimbo goddess.
  • Really Gets Around: Yeah, besides Ares and Hephaestus, Aphrodite has had many lovers, both god and mortal, male and female alike.
  • Vapor Wear: She clearly isn't wearing anything beneath her "clothes".

    Ares 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ares_earth_27.jpg

Wonder Woman's archnemesis, Ares, the God of War, is a cunning schemer who thrives on conflict and seeks to perpetuate endless war. Despite his bloodthirsty nature, Ares is a genius tactician and master manipulator, though nowhere near the tactical genius of Athena, which is a sore spot for Ares.


  • Affably Evil: He's really quite polite when speaking to the heroes, but they all still know better than to trust him. It is worth saying that Ares's roman form, Mars, is a much better person and hates the idea of unnecessary bloodshed, which is something Ares loves.
  • Arch-Enemy: For Wonder Woman, at least when he is in his Ares form.
  • Blood Knight: Obviously he thrives on conflict.
  • Clairvoyance: Ares is capable of witnessing and understanding events that he wasn't present for as if he was there.
  • Cool Helmet: His traditional Spartan's helmet.
  • A Family Affair: Just like in the classical myths, he still constantly cheats on his brother Hephaestus with his wife Aphrodite.
  • Humans Are Bastards: Ares firmly believes this and views his own continued existence as a testament to mankind's capacity for evil or propensity for slaughtering one another to validate his misanthropy. He can grow weary of it from time to time, even growing disgusted by the warring tendencies that fuel his power.
  • Immortality: As an Olympian God worshipped by the ancient Greeks and Romans, Ares has lived for at least millennia.
  • Morph Weapon: His three weapons transform into any weapon he'd like. His spear becomes a sword, his shield becomes a shotgun, and his short sword becomes a pistol. Ares' spear and shield are literally the symbol of Mars, a planet named after him (and the practically universal symbol for "male").
  • Nigh-Invulnerability: Ares is incredibly resistant to all forms of damage. He has taken hits from the likes of Wonder Woman without suffering any injury at all.
  • Physical God: From the Classical Mythology.
  • Red and Black and Evil All Over: His armor is black and red, and he's a ruthless and dangerous god.
  • Revenge Before Reason: As a god of rage, Ares is on to hold eternal grudges.
  • The Strategist: Oddly a twist on the original myth, since Ares was said to encompass brute force and untempered violence.
  • Super-Strength: Ares is a god with almost infinite strength. He has manhandled incredibly powerful beings such as Wonder Woman. He has also held onto an active missile with little problem.
  • War God: He's The War God of the Greek Pantheon.

    Apollo 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/apollo_classical_neolympus.jpg

Ah, Apollo. God of archery, Lord of the sun, God of music, God of screwing over every single one of his lovers and not in a good way. While Apollo is a charming individual, he's honestly a disaster to be around, since most of the people he cares about, that are not gods, end up either dead or with their lives completely ruined.


    Artemis 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/artemis_classical_earth_27.jpg
Artemis is Apollo's brother and to be completely honest, you just wanna hang around her instead. After she was born, Hestia took Artemis to Olympus where she immediately demanded that she be single forever, that she has her own hunt to lead, and any young maidens wishing to not get hitched may come with her. Yeah, she had a lot of recruits seeing as it was ancient Greece and women had no say on who they married. However, Artemis did have "boyfriends." Her first boyfriend was murdered by a giant scorpion sent by Gaea after he started killing hundreds of harmless animals while hunting and her second boyfriend (and the one she was not really romantically involved with since he was also the first male to join the Hunters and he honored the "forever single" thing) was killed by his father, the great hero Theseus. That guy is a whole other mess.
  • Bare Midriffs Are Feminine: Her outfit shows her midsection, in contrast to her brother Apollo who's shirtless.
  • Braids of Action: Has her hair in a braid and as Goddess of the Hunt, one of the most skilled goddesses alongside Athena.
  • Related in the Adaptation: Her Roman aspect Diana is the mother of Aradia Morningstar, which broke her own vows of maidenhood, yet nothing happened to Diana.

    Athena 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/athena_classical_neolympus.jpg
when it comes to Olympian gods, Athena is one of the more respectable goddesses. unlike her brothers and sisters, she doesn't go on blood-filled rage quests. At least not as often as her siblings. Anytime she's doled out a punishment, it's been completely justified, if not a little hasty though, with the best example being Medusa, who had sex with Poseidon inside Athena’s temple.
  • Brainy Brunette: She has dark brown hair and she's the Goddess of Knowledge and Strategy.
  • Cool Helmet: A hoplite-styled helmet.
  • Daddy's Girl: Of all of Zeus' children, she's the closest to her father.
  • Odd Friendship: She actually became friends with the disembodied head of Medusa while she was part of her Aegis shield before eventually returning it to her body, allowing Medusa to fully revive. It's actually nice to see that a version of Athena got over her problems with Medusa. I mean, yes Medusa did have sex in Athena’s temple with Poseidon Which was completely disrespectful, but Poseidon pressured her to do it, knowing full well it would piss Athena off.
  • The Owl-Knowing One: Associated with owls and she's the goddess of knowledge.
  • Sibling Rivalry: With her half-brother Ares.

    Hermes 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hermes_classical_neolympus.jpg
  • Cool Helmet: His winged helmet, which his son Jay Garrick would inherit.
  • Iconic Item: Besides his winged helmet, there's his winged sandals and his caduceus.
  • The Trickster: He's the god of Thieves as well as a trickster by nature.

    Hephaestus 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hephaestus_classical_neolympus.jpg

    Dionysus 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dyonisus_classical_neolympus.jpg
Click for Bacchus 
Click for NeOlympus Look 

The youngest of the Twelve Olympians, Dionysus is the Vintner of Olympus, God of Wine & Vineyards, God of Theatre, God of Alcohol & Intoxicants, God of Dance, God of Festivals, God of Pleasure, God of Madness, and Keeper of Thyros. Dionysus is known for wild parties, getting drunk, and being absolutely terrifying at times.


  • The Alcoholic: As expected from the Greek God of wine, he's never sober.
  • Animal Motifs: As Bacchus he's associated with the leopard.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: He's a party lover, but when Perseus turned his wife into stone, he tore the former hero turned king to pieces.
  • Composite Character: Dionysus is combined with Hades' son Zagreus.
  • Drowning My Sorrows: Without alcohol or drugs to dull his pain, Dionysus suffers from reliving Zagreus' torture at the hands of the Titans.
  • Extra Parent Conception: On this version of Greek Mythology, Dionysus was born as the reincarnation of Hades' son Zagreus, who was torn to pieces by Titans. He was carried till her death by the nymph Semele, meaning he's both Zeus and Hades' son.
  • Extreme Omnisexual: He's omnisexual.
  • Formerly Fat: As Bacchus he gained a lot of weight, but went back to his original lean self by the time he moved to NeOlympus.
  • Hate Plague: After Perseus killed Ariadne, many nymphs flocked to Naxos to comfort Dionysus. The nymphs were transformed by Dionysus' anger, sorrow, and drunkenness. These nymphs became the maenads, the nymphs of madness, prepared to literally tear apart anyone who threatened their patron god.
  • The Hedonist: The guy lives for parties and alcohol.
  • Life of the Party: Dionysus can soak in the unclaimed, residual psychic energy from any festival or celebration he attends. Furthermore, Dionysus has an innate sense for locating celebratory events, knows the steps and rhythm for all styles of dance, and can cause mortals to break into merry laughter.
  • The Lost Lenore: His wife Ariadne, who was turned into stone by Perseus.
  • Magic Staff: A golden one topped with a pinecone. He calls it his thyrsus. The Thyrsos is a creation of Hephaestus that focuses Dionysus' innate powers which enables Dionysus to cast spells over mortal minds, simulating the various effects of drugs, alcohol, and other intoxicants.
  • Prefers Going Barefoot: Used to only wear footwraps in his classic look, but began to wear sandals as Bacchus, and boots in his new modern look.
  • Purple Is Powerful: His clothing is usually purple and despite being the youngest of the Olympians, he is still incredibly powerful.
  • Significant Green-Eyed Redhead: He has red hair and green eyes, and he's the god of wine and revelry.

    The Fates 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/clotho__earth_27__commission_by_phil_cho_dg12pu6_fullview.jpg
Clotho
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lachesis_earth_27.jpg
Lachesis
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/atropos_earth_27.jpg
Atropos
Atropos, Clotho and Lachesis are the Moirae, also known as The Fatae, The Fates, Moirai, Mœræ, The Parcae and The Ones who Pull the Strings.
  • Attention Deficit... Oh, Shiny!: Due to her intensive study of the Tapestry, Lachesis can find it difficult to focus on the present or even reality itself. She may speak in cryptic verse or simply zone out entirely, requiring her sisters to urge her to refocus herself.
  • Color-Coded Characters: Clotho dresses in green and has golden eyes, Lachesis dresses in orange and has red eyes, and Atropos dresses in purple and has blue eyes.
  • Control Freak: Put simply, Clotho enjoys meddling in the lives of others. It doesn't always have the mean or wicked, but that's often the most entertaining.
  • Sanity Slippage: Atropos is able to avoid much of the repercussion for directly altering the Tapestry of Fate by internalizing the cosmic feedback that would be unleashed by such flagrant manipulations. This has had an effect on her mind, resulting in her becoming increasingly unhinged.
  • Soul Power: The Moirae have the most mystical knowledge and power to reshape souls. This allows them to strip, purify, and reformat souls for reincarnation, which is a vital duty they perform for their pantheon, most notably with heroic souls. However, they can perform similar magic for more personal or petty purposes as well.
  • Stronger Than They Look: The Moirae are much stronger, faster, and more resilient than mortal creatures. Also, they do not age or suffer from most illness.
  • Threads of Fate:
    • The Spinner: Clotho has the incredible power to reach into the entropic patterns of the Tapestry of Fate and pull as its strands. Once she has a localized pattern ensnared, she can draw it into power and cause it to materialize in a shape that resembles a singular gossamer thread bearing an ethereal glow. On her own, Clotho can use such threads to create all manner of chaos around her as even the slightest manipulation of cosmic tether can cause reality to tremble. However, the real scary stuff happens when Clotho works in tandem with her sisters.
    • The Allotter: Lachesis has the power to read the Tapestry of Fate to a degree far surpassing the accuracy and precision of her sisters. Using her power, Lachesis can glean disturbingly specific information about anybody she wishes (regardless if she encountered or even heard of them, or not). While she can learn just about anything she wishes, she has very little power to directly influence the way fate shapes out — at least without her sisters' help.
    • The Inevitable: While each of the Moirae are tricksters in their own right and thus afforded some degree of leniency in regards to their breaking of various cosmic rules and regulations, Atropos' ability to manipulate and alter the rules by which all cosmic beings are bound by is magnified to a tremendous degree. Using this powers (and any sharp object in her hand — often her orichalcum shears), Atropos has the ability to sever the ethereal threads of fate without any of the direct or immediate repercussions that would befall other beings attempted the same. However, Atropos' immense power has come at a cost.
  • Winds of Destiny, Change!: Through minor, passive passive fate manipulation, the Moirae are able to "make their own luck" by skewing things in their favor. Incredible things always seem to happen around them, both good and bad. The most unlikely odds become routine with their presence alone. When their actions have an effect, it tends to make even the most improbable outcome a near-certainty. This ability also makes the sisters "tricksters" of a sort.
  • You Cannot Fight Fate: The sisters share this tile and the purview which comes with it. When they exercise their authority, the goddesses are able to see the Tapestry of Fate (an esoteric pattern of arcane energy) and consult it to determine various likely outcomes and what events may alter such things from happening. This is a very broad and far-reaching power that also allows them to read the auras of persons.

The Four Winds

    Boreas 
See the Nóatún page.

    Notos 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/auster_neolympus.jpg
Also known as Auster, Notos is God of Southern Wind and the God of Warm Weather. Currently traveling Earth alongside his wife Wohpe, the White Buffalo Maiden and Anansi.
  • Action Dad: He has four daughters with his first wife Oya, named Okage, Peyata, Yanpa and Yata, and he's been a literal God of War.
  • Beware the Quiet Ones: Though he is generally reserved and quiet, when upset, Auster can become a truly ferocious and violent god.
  • Blow You Away: As a god of wind, Auster has incredible power to summon wind, including mega hurricane force winds that can tear flesh from bone and render buildings into clouds of debris. He can also fly a swift speeds. Though he is no longer a true god, he has found ways to maintain his powers.
  • Composite Character: He's also been known as John Henry, Ogun, Huitztlampaehecatl and Tate.
  • Dual Wielding: Auster wields a pair of adamantine gigahammers. These weapons hit with tremendous force. Though other gods might struggle to swing such weapons effectively in battle, especially one-handed, but Auster makes it look easy as he does so with such ease that he becomes a literal whirlwind.
  • Extra-ore-dinary: Auster can construct extraordinary metallic objects, even without access to a forge. With forge and working tools, Auster can create truly legendary masterpieces. However, he will be the first to tell you that he is not as skilled as other more accomplished smithing gods, such as Hephaestus.
  • Family Man: Auster would do anything to spare his wife and daughters any pain or undue burden. He also still has feelings for his ex-wife, Oya, and even though she betrayed him, he could never bring himself to harm her. Auster would even actively go to great lengths to protect Oya from harm or suffering.
  • Gentle Giant: His default height is 66"/198cm tall, and despite his great strength he's a pretty quiet and reserved god.
  • Humongous-Headed Hammer: His hammers are quite impressive in size and he can effortlessly wield them due to his godly strength.
  • Love Martyr: Auster is such a gentle god, that he will choose to suffer for those other around him to ease their burden. Though this always served as a way to boost his legend, it does wear on him over time, causing him to become more stressed, which can lead to him reaching a break point.
  • Manly Facial Hair: A thick and manly beard, fitting for a folklore hero like him.
  • Odd Friendship: Auster's unlikely friendship with Anansi has been both a boon and a curse. Anansi's trickery has brought stress upon Auster, but it has also saved his life. Auster would do anything for Anansi and would undertake impossible quests to help Anansi in a any way imaginable.
  • War God: Worshipped as the Orishas' God of War, Auster can wield any weapon with expert skill and seems capable of wielding anything as a weapon, even what most may consider to be impractical weapons such as dual-wielding sledgehammers (or the unwieldly adamantine gigahammers he currently uses). His fighting skil is only matched by other legendary warriors.
  • Weather Manipulation: As God of Warm Weather, Auster can prevent mundane bad weather from affecting the area around him. He can influence local temperature and calm active weather conditions happening in his locality.

    Zephyrus 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/zephyrus_neolympus.jpg
Zephyrus is the Western Wind of Spring. He's been known as the Folklore Hero Pecos Bill in the Americas.

    Euros 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/euros_and_taurus_neolympus.jpg
Euros with Tauros
Known as Euros the Eastern Wind of Autumn, he's accompanied by his loyal companion, the bull Tauros.
  • Composite Character: Euros is combined with American Folklore character Paul Bunyan, while Tauros is his bull companion Babe.
  • Weapon Specialization: Carries a lumberjack axe, fitting for his role as Paul Bunyan.

Gods of the Underworld

    Hades 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hades_hood.jpg
Click for Hoodless Look 

Hades, AKA Pluto, is the God of the Dead, Ruler of the Underworld, God of Mysteries, God of Wealth, Warden of Tartarus, and Keeper of the Bident. He's one of the six original Olympians, spending most of the time in his domain. However, he is not part of the Olympian council of 12.


  • Dark Is Not Evil: Though everybody is convinced he is. In reality, Hades can be a pretty chill guy, unless you insult him, his wife Persephone, or his kids, then he is downright horrifying.
  • Domain Holder: Hades was appointed the indisputable Ruler of the Underworld in a sacred oath by the Quorum of the Six. As a result of this decree, his word is law within that domain. Not even Zeus or other rulers of different afterlives, like Lucifer Morningstar, can go against his wishes while there,
  • Everybody Hates Hades: Notably averted. He is depicted as morally ambiguous and feared by mortals, but rarely as truly malevolent and almost never as a Satanic Archetype, since that role usually goes to Ares.
  • Honor Before Reason: Hades is stubbornly strict in his devotion to his family and takes his assigned duties very seriously.
  • In the Hood: Wears a hood, which makes him more sinister looking.
  • Invisibility: Hades can also turn himself or objects invisible at will. He can lend this ability out to others by endowing it upon his old war helm. Some stories say that the helm was made by the Elder Cyclops, the same creatures that made Zeus's lightning bolt.
  • Living Lie Detector: Thanks to his attribute as God of Mysteries. With this power, Hades is aware of all acts of deception in his presence. Few mysteries can withstand his abilities of discernment. Hades, Batman, and Sherlock Holmes should get together and form a little detectives club,
  • Necromancer: Well, he is the ruler of the underworld.
  • Outliving One's Offspring: His only son Zagreus was murdered by escaped Titans. While he staved off death for some time using his powers, Zeus granted him some mercy and reincarnated him into Dionysus.
  • Raven Hair, Ivory Skin: Makes him very distinctive compared to his brothers.
  • The Spymaster: Used to serve as this for Kronos, and later used his talents to help his spirit-brother Zeus against the Titans. Side-note: NEVER fight someone that can control THE DEAD. You will ALWAYS lose.

    Persephone 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/persephone_classical_neolympus.jpg

Get ready for a huge mess. Persephone, the Goddess of Spring and growth, is the daughter of Demeter and Zeus and the wife of Hades. The fact that Persephone married her spirit uncle and that her other uncle is her father is not the weirdest things to happen, but it's certainly up there. At first, Persephone was held in The Underworld against her will, but over a few hundred years, she found herself falling in love with the God of Mysteries and the dead. Eventually, Persephone happily married Hades, and maybe her love did something to him, because he has always been faithful to Persephone for over 4000 years.

Click for Classic Look 

  • Chainmail Bikini: In her Classic look she only wears a metal bra while leaving her torso bare. Being nigh-unkillable means she can afford the exposed skin.
  • Complete Immortality: She's immortal and unlike the Olympians, she doesn't need Ambrosia or Nektar to remain alive. She even remained as a disembodied head for centuries until it was returned to her body.
  • Cool Shades: Wears red shades so she doesn't turn anyone into stone.
  • Dual Wielding: She wields a pair of red swords as her Classic look.
  • Extreme Omnisexual: Unsurprisingly for a Greek entity, she's Omnisexual.
  • Gorgeous Gorgon: She's the most famous gorgon and very attractive. It's even more blatant in her Classical look.
  • Logical Weakness: Being part reptilian, Medusa becomes increasingly lethargic when she is exposed to extremely cold temperatures. Prolonged exposure will put her in a state of hibernation.
  • Losing Your Head: Perseus cut her head off, but she didn't die and was sealed within the Aegis' shield for centuries until her head was returned to her body.
  • Odd Friendship: She developed a strange friendship with Athena while she was sealed within the Aegis.
  • Of Corsets Sexy: Wears a red corset to go with a black skirt.
  • Related in the Adaptation: She's the mother of Myrrha Rhodes, Dr. Medusa of the Creature Commandos.
  • Snake People: Consuming the flesh of the dragon Python turned her and her sisters into Gorgons, so now the lower half of her body is a huge serpent.
  • Strong Family Resemblance: You can see where Myrra Rhodes got her looks.
  • Super-Senses: Medusa has incredibly sharp hearing and tactile sensation. She can track enemies in pitch-black darkness by feeling their footsteps' vibrations on the ground or hearing the beating of their hearts. Medusa's sense of taste is also incredibly powerful and her forked tongue can be used to taste particles in the air much like a bloodhound's nose.
  • Super-Strength: Medusa can wrap her body around a victim, amplifying the hold of her considerable strength. Though she could easily use this to suffocate or simply crush mortal victims, she usually prefers to use this method to restrain her victims to force eye contact for petrification.
  • Unrelated in the Adaptation: Here the winged horse Pegasus and the demigod Chrysaor didn't originate from her headless body.

    Euryale

  • Gorgeous Gorgon: She's quite beautiful, just like her sister Medusa.
  • Of Corsets Sexy: Like Medusa, Euryale wears a red corset to go with a black skirt.
  • Significant Green-Eyed Redhead: She has green eyes and both her snake half and the ones on her head are orange. She's also one of the Gorgons.
  • Snake People: Consuming the flesh of the dragon Python turned her and her sisters into Gorgons, so now the lower half of her body is a huge serpent.

    Stheno 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/stheno_neolympus.jpg
The eldest of the three Gorgons and older sister of Euryale and Medusa.
  • Cool Shades: She wears black sunglasses to Medusa's red and Euryale's green-tinted glasses.
  • Gorgeous Gorgon: She's quite beautiful, just as her sisters Euryale and Medusa.
  • Of Corsets Sexy: Like Medusa and Euryale, Stheno wears a red corset to go with a black skirt.
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: Her eyes are red unlike Euryale's green and Medusa's yellow eyes, and as the eldest gorgon not someone to mess with.
  • Snake People: Consuming the flesh of the dragon Python turned her and her sisters into Gorgons, so now the lower half of her body is a huge serpent.

Titans

    Kronos 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kronos_neolympus.jpg

The King of Titans, God of Harvest, Seasons, Fate, Time, Justice, and Evil, he usurped his creator Ouranos and in turn, he was dethroned and imprisoned by his exalted children the Olympians. However, if he had not imprisoned his soul children, they never would have gotten the desire to kill him and they never would have done so, meaning he would still be the ruler of the universe meaning his own death/imprisonment is on his hands.


  • Achilles' Heel: Like all divine beings, he's weak to weapons made of Adamant.
  • Adaptational Nice Guy: Only barely. He's still the same monstrous and paranoid individual from classical myths, but he at least didn't devour his children, merely imprisoned them.
  • Antagonistic Offspring: Turned against his progenitors Gaia and Ouranos and he, in turn, was defeated and imprisoned by his exalted children the Olympians.
  • Archnemesis Dad: For his exalted son Zeus and his biological son Chiron.
  • Aura Vision: Kronos can read the auras of those in his gaze.
  • Brought Down to Badass: Kronos was forcibly stripped of much of his former power. While he is still powerful but is in pain and his stamina is very impaired.
  • The Corrupter: Kronos can sense what dark desires are in the minds of others and can tempt them to act on those desires. He can also sear the minds of weak-willed mortals, filling them with terror.
  • The Dreaded: He was the most feared and ruthless of all of Gaia's children.
  • Evil Overlord: Kronos was the king of the Titans of myth, and held court on Mount Othrys in Ancient Greece. He ruled by fear, having usurped the throne from his creator Ouranos - only to have the same dealt to him later.
  • Evil Wears Black: His body and armor are completely black.
  • God of Evil: It's even one of his former titles.
  • In the Hood: Wears a hood over his skull-like face.
  • Magical Barefooter: Wears no boots or sandals on his clawed feet.
  • Nigh-Invulnerability: Kronos is unharmed by conventional weaponry and is immune to pain, common physical ailments, and disease.
  • Obviously Evil: Has a skull for a face, glowing red eyes, his black and gold armor is full of spikes, wears an ominous black cape and his weapon of choice is a Sinister Scythe.
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: His eyes glow red and he's one of the most feared figures in Greek Mythology.
  • Sealed Evil in a Can: Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades managed to defeat Kronos as their allies defeated the other Titans. Kronos was then imprisoned in his own prison at Tartarus, in the deepest and darkest depth where the voice of Ouranos' shade could be heard cackling at his creation's new eternal misery.
  • Sinister Scythe: His Scythe Saturn, an adamant relic that is said capable of killing any and all, which represents his rule over harvest.
  • Skull for a Head: His face is a black skull.
  • Spikes of Villainy: His armor has many small spikes.
  • Time Master: Kronos retains the ability to mentally experience time in a different state than others around him. He can live through years in a blur or live in eternity in a single second. He cannot move faster than normal. This is a mental state.
  • The Usurper: He and his Titan siblings killed and usurped their father Ouranos and imprisoned their mother Gaia.

    Rhea 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rhea_neolympus.jpg
The Queen of Titans, the wife of Kronos, and the spiritual mother of the first six Olympians.
  • Amazing Technicolor Population: Her skin is colored like white marble due to her body being made from adamant like the other Titans.
  • Foil: To her husband Kronos. She has white skin while Kronos has black skin, she has blue eyes while Kronos has red eyes, Rhea dresses in a gold dress while her husband is dressed in black and gold armor, and Kronos imprisoned his exalted children so they wouldn't threaten his rule, Rhea cares about her exalted children the Olympians and aided them in dethroning her husband.
  • Gold and White Are Divine: Her skin is white and her dress is gold and she's one of the few benevolent Titans.
  • Monochromatic Eyes: Her eyes are solid blue.
  • Ugly Guy, Hot Wife: Kronos is sinister-looking and his face is an actual skull, Rhea looks far more human-like and beautiful, representing her better nature.
