Содержание
Сюжет [ править ]
На заре времён олимпийские боги воевали с тёмными божествами — титанами. Они истребили всех, но когда погиб последний титан, он проклял олимпийцев и из его крови родились гиганты — новое поколение чудовищ невиданной силы, бросившие вызов небожителям. Противостояние богов и гигантов было долгим и жестоким, пока Зевс не убедил двоих гигантов предать своих сородичей. Одолев чудовищ, боги заключили их души в специальном сосуде — Котле Тьмы, — а тела выбросили в море. Однако, проблемы на этом не кончились — останки одного гиганта обнаружили люди, которые начали поклоняться им и черпать из их плоти и крови силу. В результате появились демоны — монстры, многократно превосходящие людей по физическим характеристикам и мечтающие истребить всех, кто откажется принять их веру и образ жизни.
Непосредственно сюжет начинается с того, что амазонка и архонт Алексия преследует двух демонов в полисе, где живёт протагонист — юноша Герон, вместе со своей матерью Электрой. Другие горожане презирают их, обвиняя во всех несчастьях, пока не всплывает правда о том, что главный герой — сын самого Зевса и у отца на него большие планы…

History
Seraphim is the son of King Periander and his wife Electra. Prior to his birth, his mother had an affair with the god Zeus and ended up pregnant with twins, one of which was Seraphim and the other, his brother Heron. While Seraphim was the son of Periander, Heron was Zeus’ child and this enraged Hera, Zeus’ wife. Enlisting the Oneiroi to alert Periander of his wife’s infidelity, he threatened to kill whatever child she bore that was not his. Seraphim was born first, temporarily relieving the king, but Electra was still in pain. The king was swiftly informed that there were two placenta, which two placentas meant there were two fathers. Shortly after, Heron was born. Before Periander could execute Heron, Zeus arrived and stopped him. Electra then killed Periander before he could hurt Heron, before she and Heron were taken to safety by Zeus, leaving Seraphim behind.
Despite Zeus assuming Seraphim would be better off amongst his father’s kin, he underestimated his uncle Acrisius’ greed. Acrisius forced the servant Ariana to keep the story surrounding Seraphim’s birth a secret and then threw his newborn nephew off of a cliff to ascend the throne himself. Seraphim survived, despite having taken fall damage, and was taken away by Ariana to be raised in secret. Procuring her sister’s aid, Ariana fled. Eventually, she was forced to take shelter in a bear’s cave where she prayed for gods help. Zeus heard this prayer and, trying to make some sort of amends for his misjudgment, compelled the bear sow who dwelled there to nurse Seraphim alongside her own cubs.
Ariana raised Seraphim, and he was led to believe she was his natural mother. He and Ariana befriended the bears of the area, and Seraphim had them as playmates and companions. One day, Acrisius’ sons managed to track Ariana down after they tortured and killed her sister’s family. Together with the bears, Seraphim tried to save Ariana but failed. After receiving a scar from one of his cousins, Seraphim was about to be killed until Zeus arrived in the form of a bear to save him. Taking refuge along the eastern shores of Melidoni, Seraphim became consumed with vengeance.
Years later, Seraphim tracked down his adoptive mother’s killer and viciously murdered him. When armed guards pursued him, he fled and came upon the remains of a giant washed ashore one a beach. Though he did not know it, this evil began poisoning him after he came into physical contact with the giant and he was compelled into consuming its flesh. Feasting on the giant’s flesh, Seraphim was transformed into a monstrous creature and he came into the possession of Hades’ bident, which was sheathed in the giant’s flesh. He singlehandedly killed twelve men and after the last three begged for their lives, swearing fealty to him, he spared them and forced them to become a «demon» like him. Ever since then he began hunting Acrisius and his sons.
Throughout the Series
In «Past is Prologue,» pregnant Queen Electra is seen being seated on the chair, in pain and worried that King Periander will kill her baby, which would later be born first and named Seraphim. King Periander was content with Seraphim and was beginning to believe what the Oneiroi and Hera told him in his dream was a lie. Ariana told him that there was a second placenta, meaning there were two fathers. This enraged Seraphim’s father, who was ready to kill who would later become Seraphim’s maternal half-brother Heron. It only got worse when he saw that Heron’s eyes were blue and not brown. Before King Periander could further hurt Heron, Zeus flies in and causes Periander to die from falling from a high place and being stabbed in the eye by Queen Electra.
Seraphim is separated from Heron and his mother and is left in the hands of his uncle Acrisius and Ariana.
In «The Raid,» the villagers of Heron’s childhood town are running for the mines as the demons and Seraphim are scouring the town for Alexia and Heron. The two began to lag behind after Seraphim commanded a three-headed dog to chase after them (which is later killed by them). As Alexia and Heron get away, the two are headed towards Electra who they assume is in or headed for the mines as well. However, Heron is caught by Seraphim and a fight ensues between the two. Unbeknownst to Seraphim, Heron is helped by Zeus in order to save Heron’s life who wanted to continue to fight Seraphim.
Seraphim then turns his attention towards the mines and Alexia, blocking the path with other demons. He introduces himself, dubbing himself the leader of Melidoni. He is looking for Alexia, who has valuable information. The noble, Aratus, brings himself forward after Seraphim explains he will spare his family and land if he points him towards the girl. Seraphim immediately recognizes Aratus, and the two exchange a bit of lore that would reveal that Aratus is cousins with King Acrisius. Knowing this now, Seraphim also tells Aratus that his cousin happened to give him the scar on his eye. He tells Aratus that nothing pleases him more than watching nobles die. Unfortunately for Aratus, a demon scout relays to Seraphim that they have a lead on Alexia.
Aratus Theogonis is swiftly killed, as Seraphim decides that he does not need the noble anymore. The demons head out towards the lead, but Zeus interferes once more and hides Alexia in a tree by covering the opening with rose bushes. Hera also interferes and causes the demons to go after Electra by following Alexia’s cape. The gods get into an altercation because of this, arguing that a law is being broken. While they do that, the demons and Seraphim catch up to Electra, and Seraphim begins interrogating Electra.
Electra does not know where Alexia is, and is beat on. Heron is hiding in the brush, angered at the abuse of his mother. He decides to interfere at once, and fails. Seraphim gives Heron and his mother an ultimatum, which is join them or perish. Sadly, Heron does not concede the defeat and Electra dies as he is taken captive by Seraphim.
In «A Monster is Born,» Seraphim finally catches up to who he believes is Alexia. Later, when he has her cornered, it is revealed that Alexia is not who she says she is (in this episode, which is worth noting) due to the bident cutting her cheek and it heals perfectly. Alexia transforms into Hera, who is willing to «manipulate» and negotiate with Seraphim, in a sense. Hera sees this as a fair game if Zeus is allowed to help Heron, which is still unbeknownst to Seraphim the entire time. She has a hard time getting Seraphim to kneel before her, but he kneels reluctantly after getting hurt by her.
She takes this opportunity to expose Zeus and all that he has done to Seraphim by using her powers to manipulate his backstory. She shows Seraphim how Zeus contributed to the death of his father, King Periander. Hera justifies his anger towards Acrisius, who she also shows him dropping baby Seraphim down a waterfall in order to ascend to the throne. Ariana was the one who saved Seraphim, as she is the one who took him and ran to a bear’s cave. There, Hera shows Seraphim that she was the one who saved him whenever he was in trouble and commanded the bear to yield to the two. In this episode, Seraphim and Ariana are also attacked by Acrisius’ sons in later years who had recently tortured and killed Ariana’s family after Ariana’s sister gave away Ariana’s location. The result of this is deadly, several people including Ariana are among the fatalities, despite the bears who they had befriended defending Seraphim and his adoptive mother. Seraphim sustains an injury on his left eye, making him partially blind. This event takes an emotional toll on Seraphim, which he makes a vow to hunt and kill his cousins and Acrisius himself. Until then, he settles on the shores of Melidoni.
Seraphim is successful in this by the aide of the giants remains that beckoned him, and he promptly consumed. He was being chased by the guards who had been sent out due to Seraphim’s brutal murdering of one of his cousins in an alleyway who participated in the homicide. He killed all but three who swore his loyalty to him in turn for their lives, who became what the main antagonists are; demons. He killed a total of twelve men in the cave near the remains. Once Seraphim had this newfound power, he found Acrisius in a cave with the help of his griffon-like lion. Acrisius knew that Seraphim would find him. Little words are exchanged before major gore commences. Acrisius dies by blunt force trauma.
But in the same breath, Hera tells Seraphim that Ariana is not his real mother. She reveals that the woman he had killed, Electra, was his real mother. This makes Seraphim unimaginably upset. Hera does not give a definitive answer to Seraphim as to why she would want to turn him against Zeus. She only tells Seraphim that true vengeance would come from killing Zeus, who she blames for Seraphim not becoming king.
Personality
Seraphim is a man driven by revenge, making most of his decisions based around hunting down Acrisius and his sons. Due to his hatred of Acrisius, he hates nobles in general and enjoys watching the life drain from them. He tends to show that he refuses any sign of weakness in his subordinates, going as far as killing one to, «cull the weak.» Seraphim believes that hatred is necessary to be strong, saying as much to Heron. While portrayed as merciless, he is family-oriented, and is shown to care for Heron, giving him a chance to side with him. He also shows regret for killing Electra upon discovering that she was his mother.
Physical Appearance
Before turning into a demon and as a child, Seraphim had long dark brown hair and brown eyes with tanned skin. He wore a black cloth around his waist for pants due to his lack of proper clothing from living in the forest. After the attack of Acrisius’s sons, Seraphim gains a scar on his left eye turning his pupil white. He also has visible scars on his chest and both shoulders.
In Seraphim’s current appearance, he has white tied hair with a thick golden streak going down it that rests on his shoulder. Both of his eyes have black sclera and red pupils but due to the scar on his left eye the outside of his sclera has a gold band around it. His skin is a gray color with red marks spreading around. He has horns poking out from his head, arms, and back. His clothes consist of a black cape draping off of his left shoulder with leather bands wrapped around his shoulders and a black ragged cloth wrapped around his waist being secured by leather bands that hold metal plates on his sides. He carries around a golden spear with black and red spreading to the tip of the blade.
Powers and Abilities
Upon consuming the flesh of a Giant, Seraphim underwent a transformation which altered his physical features and endowed him with superhuman physical capabilities that seemed to exceed his followers, as he was the first Demon.
Обзор сериала “Кровь Зевса”
Мифы Древней Греции за все время переживали несколько разнообразных трактовок. В свое время Disney выпустил прекрасный мультфильм “Геракл”, а Santa Monica Studio выпустила серию зубодробительных слэшеров God of War, в которой вообще позволили геймерам уничтожить весь Олимп, и это не считая множества разнообразных малобюджетных игр и фильмов!
В конце октября наступил черед стримингового сервиса Netflix выпустить свою трактовку мифов Древней Греции под названием “Кровь Зевса”. Мультсериал получил множество положительных отзывов от критиков и зрителей и имеет на агрегаторе рецензий Rotten Tomatoes 100-процентный рейтинг “свежести” от критиков и 83% “свежести” от зрителей. Насколько справедливо сериал получил такие оценки, разбирался портал IQGamm.
* Внимание! В обзоре присутствуют спойлеры! *
Типичная Греция
Мифы Древней Греции дошли до наших дней сквозь тысячелетия. Однако, по версии Netflix, некоторые из них канули в лету. Одним из них оказывается миф о Хероне – обычном парне, который жил в городе со своей матерью. Однажды его спокойную жизнь нарушают демоны – отравленные плотью титанов люди, намеренные захватить мир.
Также выясняется, что Херон на самом деле сын Зевса. При этом сам громовержец является неверным мужем и постоянно меняет любовниц. Его жена Гера закрывала на это глаза, однако Херона и его маму невзлюбила особенно сильно. Тогда она решила взять контроль над лидером демонов, пробудить титанов и уничтожить собственного мужа.
С одной стороны, завязка сериала кажется простой, ведь Гера и Аид уже не раз были злодеями в мифах, однако создатели ухудшили ее, размазав начало на восемь серий. Динамичное повествование и экшен искусственно растягивается благодаря флешбеками и сторонним сюжетным линиями, из-за чего к концу уже 4-й серии зритель может устать.
Божественные проблемы
Несмотря на затянутость, “Кровь Зевса” страдает не от этого, а от отсутствия логики. Первый и закономерный вопрос: почему Гера так долго терпела измены Зевса? До Херона он привел на Олимп семь бастардов. Кроме того, почему-то остальные боги будто бы не замечают козней Геры и ее стремления захватить мир. Зато когда война уже буквально на пороге, они приходят к Зевсу и извиняются за свое поведение и предательство.
Много вопросов вызывает тот факт, что Херон и предводитель демонов Серафим братья. У них тяжелая судьба, и оба персонажа стали пешками в играх богов, однако их родство никак не влияет на сюжет и не нагнетает драму так, как хотели создатели.
Персонажи в “Крови Зевса” прописаны слабо. Гера – обозленная ревнивая жена, Зевс – пытающийся найти правильное решение лидер, а смертные друзья Херона просто статисты, пытающиеся помогать главному герою, и запоминаются только тем, что один из контрабандист, второй – африканец, а третий – девушка. Характеры у персонажей никак не обозначены, поэтому сказать что-либо о них сложно. То же самое относится и к остальному пантеону древнегреческих богов, которых можно отличить друг от друга только по мифическим атрибутам – Гермес всегда в крылатой обуви, Аполлон на колеснице, Посейдон орудует трезубцем и так далее.
Единственные герои, над характером которых авторы поработали, – Херон и Серафим. Первый, несмотря на сложное детство, старается быть благородным и в финале преодолевает свой гнев. Второго же препятствия на жизненном пути только обозлили. К тому же, Серафим не хотел, чтобы им повелевали, поэтому намеревался уничтожить богов, но Херон не позволил ему это сделать.
Приятная Греция
“Кровь Зевса” – аниме от Netflix и выглядит оно так же, как и предыдущий подобный проект под названием “Кастлевания”. Мультсериал о Древней Греции отличается такой же яркой картинкой и расчлененкой. Во время боевых сцен кровь так и хлещет с экрана, а героев реалистично протыкают копьями и стрелами или разрубают на куски.
Отдельного внимания заслуживает прорисовка персонажей. Несмотря на скудную проработку характеров богов, выглядят они потрясающе. Арес действительно похож на ужасного жестокого бога войны, Аполлон выглядит, как накаченный светловолосый атлет, а Гера, как мстительная психованная и ревнивая жена. Херон похож на стереотипного героя древних мифов, а внешний вид Серафима передает все страдания, через которые он прошел.
Среди нарисованных героев также выделяются титаны. Каждый из них – исполинский монстров с уникальной внешностью и способностями, о которых можно догадаться при первом взгляде на них.
В итоге “Кровь Зевса” получился спорным проектом. С одной стороны, у него есть потрясающий визуал, который много говорит о персонажах, а с другой – в нем отсутствует логика. Красивое оформление не может спасти бездарную историю, поэтому мы ставим мультсериалу 5 баллов из 10.

Heron is a main character on Blood of Zeus. Heron is a young man and illegitimate son of Zeus. As a threat descends upon Greece, he embarks on a journey to save the world.
Contents
History
Early life
Heron was born to Queen Electra and the God, Zeus. Rumored to not be the son of the King, Heron was destined to die upon his birth. Though the birth of his brother Seraphim briefly saved Heron from an untimely death, he was ultimately saved by his true father Zeus.
In Back to Olympus, Zeus’s wife Hera stated that he was one of Zeus’s bastards. Afterwards, Zeus took Heron and his mother to a village to hide away in. Upon their arrival, he covered the village in storm clouds to protect Heron and Electra from Hera’s gaze. This resulted in the villagers’ ostracism of them, as they believed Electra and Heron to be the cause of this seemingly bad omen. To keep watch over Heron and his mother, Zeus assumed the identity of an elderly mortal man named Elias. As Elias he did his best to care for them, giving them food when he could, telling Heron stories of the gods, and even caring for Heron’s arm after he’d managed to break it. At some point in his childhood, a group of boys attacked Heron, resulting in a scar over his left eye.
Throughout the Series
In «A Call to Arms,» Heron collects some ore, but manages to earn only two drachmas. As he returns to his mother, Electra, they hear noises and see Alexia who informs them that she is looking for a demon. The town people deny seeing any and she continues on her way. Heron sees Elias had injured his leg and helps him out. He goes to take some water to clean the wound, however he sees a dead woman in the fountain and is then attacked by a demon. The demon attacks him, but Alexia returns and starts fighting him. In a pinch, Heron helps her, slicing it with his arrow, but the demon manages to escape.
Heron wonders how such thing could exist and Elias tells him about the war with the giants. He tells him how the gods defeated the titans, but as the last titan fell, he swore a curse on the gods and when his blood struck the sea, the giants were born. The war between the giants and gods continued as neither could conquer the other. One day, Zeus convinces two giants to take up arms with them and in a final battle against the giants, with the two giants help, the gods defeated the giants. Hermes then gathers their souls, while the giants remains are cast into the ocean. Hephaestus forges a grand automation named Talos to stand guard over the cauldron with the souls, so the evil could never return. Ages pass and one day a giants body is cast ashore. A man finds it and upon touching it, he starts to be poisoned by the evil. Eventually other men join him and they eat the giant flesh, turning into demons.
In the morning, Alexia tells Heron that he fought bravely and invites him to join her in the fight against demons and protect the town. Heron has no such desire as they had forsaken him and his mother. Heron wants to leave, but his mother tells him they can’t and tries to tell him who his real father is, but at that moment, people from the town come wanting to test if Electra is a demon. Heron starts fighting them, but as they overwhelm him, Electra burns her arm to prove that she isn’t a demon.
Seeing Alexia leaving, Heron states that he should have gone with her. Elias tells him that indeed war is upon them, and they need to prepare. He tells him to climb the mountain, and there he will find a rose bush, and underneath it, there is an adamantine ore from which they will make him a sword like no other.
In «Past is Prologue,» in Heron’s dream, Electra gives birth to a boy. King Periander comes and is happy to see its a boy and has his eyes. Ariana informs him there is a second child coming and its another boy. She explains there are two placentas, which means there are two fathers. Seeing the boy having blue eyes, Periander is angry and attempts to kill the boy, but an eagle storms in and saves it.
Heron then wakes up and continues climbing and reach the top of the mountain and sees a blue rose bush. He starts digging and takes the ore back to Elias. Heron tells Elias he had seen a symbol of two winged horses rearing up and meeting in the middle. Elias tells him that is the Seal of Corinth and that dreams can be deceiving. He explains that there are three Oneiroi and nightmares are brought by Phobetor, illusions meant to deceive and confuse brought by Phantasos and there are also visions of the truth brought forth by Morpheus.
Heron tells Electra that he had a dream in which she was a queen. Electra confirms she used to be married to King Periander, but they had to leave. She explains that the marriage was prearranged, and not long after she married the king, she caught the eye of a god.
Elias confronts Heron and reveals his true form of Zeus. He wants Heron to forgive him for everything; however, Heron tells him that he doesn’t even want to see him again, and Zeus leaves.
In «The Raid,» as Hera leaves, Hermes arrives and informs Zeus that Heron’s town is under attack and Zeus tells him to clear the cloud cover.
Meanwhile, Heron and Alexia fight a three-headed dog and manage to kill one of the heads. As the demons come, they run towards the town. Heron tells them they can escape using the mines and heads to look for his mother. Hermes had cleared the clouds, and Zeus observes. The demons’ leader sees Heron and throws his spear; however, Zeus speaks to Heron and warns him to stop, avoiding the spear. Zeus tells Heron to run, but Heron starts shooting arrows at the demon. As he was about to be killed again, Zeus again helps him, and this time Heron listens and runs.
Heron sees the demons have surrounded his mother and rushes in, but is easily beaten by Seraphim. Seeing the hatred in Heron’s eyes, Seraphim tells him he has nothing left and will either join them or die and then kills Electra and takes Heron.
In «A Monster is Born,» Hermes asks Electra is there is someone she wants to see before she cross over and she states its Heron. She appears in front of Heron, telling him that there are fates worse than death and bids farewell.
Heron wakes in a caravan with other prisoners. He wonders where Seraphim is, but a man tells him that the least he heard is that he was after Alexia.
In «Escape or Die,» Heron and other prisoners are taken to galley ships. On the ship, Heron comes up with a plan. He asks Kofi and Evios to cause a small commotion on who would use the toilet first and then push themselves into the guard and steal his keys. As they do, they free themselves and kill the guards below deck. They go on top and manage to kill the remaining demons and take over the ship. They ram the other ship and sink it. Seraphim returns to the ship to kill Heron. Seeing he wields his sword, Zeus comments that Heron isn’t ready and strikes the ship with its lighting destroying it. He then proceeds to hit the sea with lighting, causing waves preventing Seraphim to kill Heron. In the process, the other Gods sees Zeus actions.
In «Back to Olympus,» Zeus tells Heron that he is the key in this war and wants to help him. Heron gets on the griffon and they fly towards Olympus.
On Olympus, the gods start to whisper that Heron is Zeus’ bastard son and are not happy, however Hermes and then Apollo and Artemis welcome him. Hera arrives angry that he brought Heron and Zeus explains that the war, the demons and everything is his fault. He promises he will remain faithful to her and asks for forgiveness, and Hera is willing to accept it only if Heron dies. As he can’t do that, Hera takes the other gods and leave. Zeus warns Poseidon that only a fool would trust her, but Poseidon replies that only a fool would anger her.
The next day, Zeus takes Heron to an arena, commenting that not all demigods have divine power and need to find out. Heron then engages one of Hephaestus automatons. Zeus tries to teach him that strength and anger won’t help him win, but Heron cannot do anything and loses fight after fight. Zeus visits Heron, telling him that he barely knew his father and wasn’t raised by him. Instead, his father wanted him dead, and by the time he met him, he had to kill him to save his siblings. Zeus explains that he is great at many things, but being a father isn’t one of them. Heron tries to fight to automaton the next day but is again easily defeated. Zeus tells him to let his anger turn inward, but Heron can’t do it and asks why Zeus didn’t save Electra and let Seraphim live. Zeus explains that at times he is powerless and won’t kill Seraphim as Electra wouldn’t want it since he is also her son and Heron’s half-brother.
Heron sees an opening in the automation and manages to defeat it. Hermes arrives informing Zeus that Hera and the other gods are in the Underworld, however Hades remains neutral, but is willing to accept any god who seeks refuge. Heron sees a spider on his hand and Zeus realizes the Fates are calling him. Heron asks Zeus if he can undo what’s has been done to Seraphim and Zeus confirms, but states it must be Seraphim’s choice.
Heron enters to see the Fates, he tells them that he doesn’t believe in fate, but in free will and they explain free will and fate can coexist. They also explain that the fate of many will depend on his actions and show him a bit of what lies ahead. He sees Alexia and the others dying in the Fields of the Dead and realizes they need his help.
In «The Fields of the Dead,» going through the mist, they face a satyr, but Heron arrives and kills it with an arrow.
Alexia and the rest reach the labyrinth and navigate it. They reach the location with the giant remains, but the remains are gone. Seraphim shows up with demons and Heron realizes they moved the remains. Seraphim asks Heron to join him and get their vengeance on the gods as they are the reason for all of this and that their mother is dead. Heron tells him that Zeus can turn him into human again, but Seraphim tells him to choose if he is with him or against him. Heron chooses not to join him and they start a fight with the demons. Most perish in the fight with only Heron, Alexia, Kofi and Evios managing to escape and run away with the griffon.
In «War for Olympus,» Zeus explains they need to find the Cauldron and Hermes volunteers, but Heron states that he is the swiftest of the gods and Hera would expect him and says that he will go.
Heron heads to the backline of the attack. When he reaches it, he shoots an arrow in the sky to let Zeus know they reached it. While the gods and giants fight, Heron, Alexia, Kofi and Evios search for the Cauldron, but can’t find it. They see the arrow he shot in the air hand landed with two dead crows on it. As he hears more crows, Heron realizes the Cauldron is in the air and calls the griffon.
Heron manages to get the Cauldron, but Seraphim catches up to him and kills the griffon. As they fall to the ground, Heron engages Seraphim in a fight. Seraphim manages to hold Heron, calling its spear to pierce his chest. Recalling Zeus’s words, Heron stops resisting and lets the spear pierce him, but then pushes it through him and pierces Seraphim behind him. Heron then manages to activate his divine power and unleashes lighting over Seraphim, defeating him. The giant’s leader, severely injured, tries to smash Heron, but he uses the bracer on the Cauldron and collects all the giants’ souls back at the Cauldron.
Heron later wakes up bandaged in bed. Hermes tells him that Zeus was proud of him, just like they are now. He sees the gods fixing all the damage to Olympus from the battle and reunites with Alexia, Kofi, and Evios.
Personality
Heron is a strong-willed young man and is willing to fight to the death to protect the ones he loves. He has some anger issues and often lets that be his driving force when fighting. He blames his father for what happened to his mother and even told his father he never wanted to see him again.
When Zeus took it upon himself to bring Heron to Olympus, it showcased Heron’s and his father’s relationship greatly. Notably during his training segment with Zeus and Hephaestus; mostly being a failure and made up of nothing but frustration for Heron.
Zeus continuously tells Heron to «turn inward» and to «let go of his anger», explaining to him that true strength doesn’t come from hate. (contradicting what Seraphim told him.)
Zeus sees Heron frustrated after their training and tells Heron about his difficulty being a good father and how he never knew his father, as he wanted Zeus dead. Heron is seen being a little sympathetic towards his father, and his training continues the next day.
During training, Heron gets frustrated once again questioning Zeus. «how could you let her die? How could you let Seraphim live?» Zeus then informs Heron that Seraphim is his brother, shocking Heron as well, and making him rethink a relationship with Seraphim, showing how fast he was willing to forgive him.
During the Battle for Olympus, Heron takes Zeus’s advice and finally turns inward, showing that he can fight with hate and strategy, and will.
When the battle for Olympus has ended, and he is seen being content with the result. There appears to be some sympathy towards his once resented father, Zeus, and he is seemingly happy that Apollo, Hermes, and Hephaestus were there waiting for him.
Physical Appearance
Heron is a young man in his late teens. [1] He has short wavy brown hair and electric blue eyes inherited from his father. He appears to have a well-built body and tanned skin. On Heron’s left eyebrow is a diagonal scar he received from bullies in his youth.
