Jason is a [[KidHero twelve-year-old]] orphan with fantasies of becoming a great hero. He gets his wish when he climbs to the top of Mount Olympus and helps the gods fight off the [[BigBad evil Dracchus]], leading to Jason being deemed the TheChosenOne. Jupiter, king of the gods, gives him the [[McGuffin Belt of Orion]] which allows him to exist on Mount Olympus and gives him control of the universe. Most episodes follow Jason having adventures in AncientGrome with his two friends [[ThreeAmigos Mercury and Venus]], while Dracchus seeks to attain the all-powerful amulet.

* AnthropomorphicAnimalAdaptation: Partially. All the humans and other mortal characters from ancient mythology such as the Gorgon sisters remain as they were, but the gods of Mount Olympus are depicted as anthropomorphic animals, with Jupiter as a chimpanzee, Mercury as a rabbit, Venus as a squirrel, Hercules as a lion and Mars as an elephant. Vulcan appears in one episode and is depicted as a wild boar.
* CruelElephant: Downplayed with Mars. He’s a loudmouthed jerk, and unlike the other gods, is rather skeptical and antagonistic toward Jason, but he remains firmly on the side of the good guys.
