''Olympus Overdrive'' is a 2013 webcomic by milky and Antares (Hiveworks Comics LLD).

Hardly does he finish the test, though, when he gets a package- or more like, a purple statue of a horse. When he touches it, an adolescent boy with horns appears and introduces himself as [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Hades]], Lord of the Underworld. Turns out the two of them must work together- Zeus got tired of everyone constantly moaning about how badly he runs things so now the gods are playing a game to decide who can rule Olympus. The rules?

# Having your chain cut will mean you lose- your god is out of the game and you yourself will have your memory wiped.

The comic went on hiatus sometime in 2015 and the official website is offline. The comic's [[https://olympusoverdrive.tumblr.com/ Tumblr]] is still active but does not have any of the comics posted on it and it's not archived on the main [[https://hiveworkscomics.com/ Hiveworks]] website either.

%% * {{Adorkable}}: Hades. Max, too, at times.

* AdaptationalConsent: Poseidon's encounter with Medusa and subsequent "defiling" of Athena's temple is changed to a consensual but forbidden kiss and portrays the two as StarCrossedLovers.
