History WesternAnimation / ClassOfTheTitans

* ClassicalChimera: The Chimera appears twice in the first season, both times as a lion with the hide quarters of a goat, with a goat head on the back and a red snake in place of a tail. Its first appearance, in the episode "Sibling Rivalry," the Chimera is a virtual guardian of Medusa's cell, that is brought to life by the heroes fighting it. They manage to defeat it, by not fighting back, thus causing it to dissolve. Then in "Road to Hades" the real Chimera appears in the opening, being defeated, but not before poisoning Jay. This then leads to a RaceAgainstTime, as his friends must go through the Underworld, to find a cure.

* {{Adorkable}}:
** Archie occasionally shows signs of this, especially when he is around Atlanta.
** Definitely Hermes.

* TheAce: Adonis.

* WeirdnessCensor: Despite some of the odd things which happen there, none of the other students at New Olympia High ever cotton on to the fact that the school is merely a hiding place for the gods of ancient Greece, nor that seven of their classmates save the world on a regular basis. May overlap with SelectiveObliviousness.

* MamaBear: Sybaris became a monster because Hera separated her from her children, and Hera has this attitude towards Sybaris when she threatens Harry and Jay.

* OurSphinxesAreDifferent: "Breathtaking Beauty" features a sphinx as the main antagonist. She spends most of the episode, disguised as a human girl, under the alias Josephine X. In her true form, she has the haunches of a lion, the wings of a great bird, and the face of a woman. In the episode, she has trapped an entire town, for being unable to solve her new riddle, and attempts to do the same to Odie. He is however able to solve the riddle, and together with his team, manage to defeat the Sphinx.

* RefusalOfTheCall: Archie at first and [[spoiler: Theresa]] later on. But YouCantFightFate.

* ScrewDestiny: [[spoiler:In a rare FaceHeelTurn version, Theresa takes this stance in the series finale, getting sick of the prophecies of the Gods running her life and her friends' along with the belief the Gods did not care about any of them in their millennia long feud against Cronus. [[RageAgainstTheHeavens As such, she decided to steal the powers of the Gods in an attempt to stop the prophecies by removing the Gods from power and give herself and her friends normal lives.]] Unfortunately, the more power she gained, the more insane she became.]]

* ShinyNewAustralia: In one episode Cronus who thinks his victory is guaranteed at that point, takes [[TheDragon Agnon]] aside and has this to say:

--> "Where'd you get this guy? [[Film/ThePrincessBride The Fire Swamp? The Pit of Despair?]]"

* YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry: Persephone is beautiful, sweet, and kindhearted until something makes her really angry. When that happens, she wigs out, turns blue, and basically reminds anyone who looks at her exactly why she is ''the Queen of the Underworld''.
----

* AdaptationalModesty: The episode involving Sybaris and her rivalry with Hera. Hera says that Sybaris betrayed her and Hera took her children away from her as punishment, the reason of which is never stated. Given that Sybaris is shown to be a lamia, the first known vampire, people who know enough about this thing is aware that the lamia was separated from her children because Hera learned that Zeus was having an affair with the woman and had fathered several children with her.

** When Cronus gets beaten in the series finale, [[spoiler:he mentions that despite the prophecy saying he would be defeated by the seven teens, he is still free and alive with his powers and minions intact. This meant he's no longer bound by fate to lose in the end, has a chance of definite victory, and can make his attacks against the teens all the more unpredictable. He makes plans to immediately use these perks.]]

* CompositeCharacter: Cronus is predominantly based on Kronos, the father of the gods and the leader of the Titans. However, he also has time powers associated with Chronos, a entirely different deity.

* OurSphinxesAreDifferent: "Breathtaking Beauty", features a sphinx as the main antagonist. She spends most of the episode, disguised as a human girl, under the alias Josephine X. In her true form, she has the haunches of a lion, the wings of a great bird, and the face of a woman. In the episode, she has trapped an entire town, for being unable to solve her new riddle, and attempts to do the same to Odie. He is however able to solve the riddle, and together with his team, manage to defeat the Sphinx.

** On one hand, there's Herry's beloved Granny, who is the one who taught him to fight. He does not take kindly to anyone hurting her, and - as seen in the episode "Mother Knows Best" - will fight to the ''death'' to defend her if necessary.

* ThreeDEffectsTwoDCartoon: The cars in the background of the city are CGI, unlike Herry's truck, which is drawn and animated.

* JerkassFacade: Archie is normally an aloof DeadpanSnarker who really is a big softy inside.

* ConspicuousCG: The cars in the background of the city are this, unlike Herry's truck, which is drawn and animated.

''Class of the Titans'' is a Canadian animated television series created by Studio B Productions and Creator/{{Nelvana}}. The series lasted from December 2005 to February 2008 for a total of 52 episodes in two seasons.

Heroes:

* AddictionDisplacement: Dionysus, in the series, has given up alcohol and replaced it with an obsession with science and chemistry.

* ArtisticLicenseReligion: "The Game Plan." It makes perfect sense that the seven kids would celebrate Christmas, but the ancient Greek gods?

* DarthWiki/MostAnnoyingSound: [[invoked]] During their expedition to Atlantis, Neil frequently says "Ping!" for no other discernible reason than that it annoys Archie half to death.

* BondVillainStupidity: Averted with Cronus.
** As noted above, his first act after escaping Tartarus is to find the Oracle and learn whether anything can potentially stop him from taking over the world. Upon learning about the seven teen heroes who are foretold to have this ability, he makes it his first priority to eliminate them.

* AgentPeacock: Hades, who is given a rather high voice by Trevor Devall, and a campy personality.

** The first thing Cronus does after breaking out of Tartarus is to walk up to [[BlindSeer the Oracle]] and ask; "What, if anything, can stop me?" For an answer, he is shown images of the seven teens, and he promptly gets to work trying to destroy them. This is the main reason the Olympian gods recruit them in the first place.

For an answer, he was shown images of the seven teens, and he promptly gets to work trying to destroy them, so no one can stop his plans. This is the main reason the Olympian gods recruit them in the first place.

* FireForgedFriends: The seven kids were all complete strangers until they were attacked by Cronus's mooks and were saved and brought to New Olympia.

** In "Forget Me Not," the entire cast, except Neil, lose their memories due to exposure to the river Lethe. [[AmnesiacGod This also includes Cronus.]]

* VillainHasAPoint: When [[spoiler:Theresa]] becomes the main villain in the series finale, she exclaims about how unfair it is that everybody was forced into fighting for the gods instead of being allowed to live normal lives. Not one person refutes her claims. The gods simply repeat that the prophecies are absolute and that YouCantFightFate in response. [[spoiler:Even her friends express blatant discomfort at the realization of the fact their personal lives are negatively affected by their affiliation with the gods. The only complaint towards her is that she can't handle the power she's stealing.]]

* YouNeverAsked: What Atlas says when Odie asks him why he didn't tell the heroes of Atlantis' location earlier.

* ScrewDestiny: [[spoiler:In a rare HeelFaceTurn version, Theresa takes this stance in the series finale, getting sick of the prophecies of the Gods running her life and her friends' along with the belief the Gods did not care about any of them in their millennia long feud against Cronus.
