Episode 1 recap

Aphrodite enters the assembly of gods on Mount Olympus to plead with Zeus. She asks him to spare the hero from eternal imprisonment in the Underworld, mentioning his twelve labours.

A lightning spear falls from above, stops the blade, and blasts Ares into his throne. Athena appears and takes back her spear.

Episode 1 Scene by Scene

  1. 00:00: Aphrodite Pleads Before Zeus

    Aphrodite walks into the council hall before the assembly of gods. She begs Zeus to reconsider the hero's punishment, reminding him of the hero's twelve labours. She argues that eternal exile in the Underworld is too extreme.

  2. 00:36: Zeus Upholds Divine Law

    Zeus speaks kindly to Aphrodite but turns down her plea. He explains that divine law controls even him. Ares interrupts and ridicules her sympathy, loudly declaring to the council that divine law stands above everything else on Olympus.

  3. 00:53: Ares Attacks Aphrodite

    Ares cuts Aphrodite off mid-speech and hurls his flaming heavy sword directly at her. A lightning-charged spear suddenly drops from the sky. It deflects the fiery weapon and knocks Ares straight back into his throne, smashing it to pieces.

  4. 01:25: Athena Arrives on Olympus

    Ares screams Athena's name in fury as he climbs out from the shattered stone. Athena steps forward into the council hall with a cold glare. She grabs her lightning spear from the floor and faces the gathered gods.

Key Lines from Episode 1

“Even if he broke divine law, eternal imprisonment in the Underworld, that is too harsh.”

Aphrodite · Aphrodite begs Zeus to spare the punished hero before the gathered gods.

“Aphrodite, my dear child, I share your regret. But divine law is divine law. Even I am bound by it.”

“Athena!”

Ares · Ares roars in anger after Athena's spear shatters his stone throne.

How Episode 1 Ends

Ares drags himself out of the rubble while shouting Athena's name. Athena steps into the hall, pulls her spear from the ground, and stares down the assembly with cold eyes. Will Ares attack her for destroying his throne, or will Athena confront Zeus directly to demand the hero's release?
