* Pretty much every time the character from a famous tragic myth shows up is a case of this. So far, the stories of [[ToHellAndBack Psyche]] and [[TransformationHorror Daphne]] have been resolved [[SparedByTheAdaptation optimistically]]. Time will tell whether Semele, [[AndIMustScream Echo,]] or [[TheCassandra Kassandra]] will befall the same fates as their mythological counterparts.

* The Arrow of Hate, which in this continuity does not actually cause hate, but rather causes others to see the true nature of the one hit. Now, imagine you're talking with someone who seems perfectly normal and maybe a bit charming and/or attractive. Then suddenly, for no discernible reason, you have a moment of divine clarity and realize that this person is really a total {{Hypocrite}}, a DirtyCoward, a CorruptCorporateExecutive, a KarmaHoudini, TheSociopath, or even a CompleteMonster. Yeah, you're probably better off realizing that now rather than later, but how terrifying would that sudden revelation be in the moment?

* Color schemes:

* Demeter [[spoiler: once/if she learns about Persephone's first month on Olympus. On just one weekend her daughter was drugged, kidnaped and sexually assaulted. Then a few days later Persephone was almost killed in Tartarus. Also she was on the tabloids because a paparazzi made a rumor about her being Hades' new mistress and Demeter cares way too much of her daughter's reputation to just let slide something like that. To top it all, Persephone is currently being stalked and blackmailed by her rapist. It's a conga line for the ultimate overprotective parent, who couldn't even dream of her daughter suffering so much trauma and abuse, which would also justify Demeter's parenting style towards Persephone.]]

* Zeus' unwillingness to entertain Hera's suspicions about Apollo is likely because [[spoiler:he knows that Apollo is his son!]]

* Persephone constantly explains her mother's actions as worry that she (Persephone) will be married off by Zeus for business purposes. While that is certainly a possibility, it is likely a fig leaf for Demeter's ''true'' fear: Persephone being raped/assaulted by [[MemeticMolester Zeus]] or any of the other, more powerful gods,.
