Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Redirect Шаблон:Infobox television Blood of Zeus, formerly known as Gods & Heroes,[1] is an American adult animated fantasy action television series created and written by Charley and Vlas Parlapanides for Netflix.[2][3][4] Produced by Powerhouse Animation Studios with the animation outsourced to South Korean studios Mua Film and Hanho Heung-Up, the series was released on October 27, 2020, on Netflix.[5]
In early December 2020, Netflix renewed the show for a second season, which is planned for a May 15, 2024 release.[6][7] According to the creators, they have five seasons outlined.[8]
Premise
Set in mythical ancient Greece, the series revolves around Heron, the demigod son of Zeus, trying to save Olympus and Earth. Though Heron-himself is an original character created exclusively for the show, the existence of such demigods born of the union between a god and a human is implied to be common in the original myths. The show claims in its prologue to be one of the tales "lost to history" rather, than passed down with our current canon of Greek myths. The show features gods, giants, demons, automata, titans, and mythical mounts from the original tales.

Reception
For the series, review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes collected 21 reviews and identified 100% of them as positive, with an average rating of 8.14/10. The website's critics consensus reads, "Reforging Greek mythology as an epic battle royale with slick imagery and sterling voice acting, Blood of Zeus earns a spot on the Mount Olympus of action animation."[9] Inverse.com called the series "Netflix's best American anime yet",[10] while IGN gave it a 9/10 score.[11] In a posting summarizing an interview on her podcast with the show's creators, Kate Sánchez argued that the series offers a "nuanced take on anger and how it relates to power" and noted how the series is part of the "continuing trend of adult animation."[12] The New York Times also praised the show, calling it, "special and dazzling" comparing it to the HBO series Game of Thrones.[13] Collider ranked Blood of Zeus #2 in its Top Ten Mythology Shows, second only to the History Channel’s Vikings. Blood of Zeus fared better than the Norwegian series Ragnarok, HBO’s American Gods and Starz’s Outlander, among other shows.[14] YardBarker called it one of the most extraordinary recent offerings in the dark fantasy and mythology genre,[15] while Ranker named Blood of Zeus their #1 Greek mythology show.[16] The show’s musical score was nominated for an Annie Award for Best Music in 2021.
