Set in Ancient Greece, fast-paced mythological drama
series Olympus follows the young and idealistic Hero on his
epic journey from the Forest of Troezen to the royal court in
Athens, on a quest to solve the riddle of the Gods. Along the
way he encounters a plethora of unique and offbeat characters,
including oracles, monsters, sorcerers and seductresses –
all of whom will either help him or attempt to stop him
from fulfilling his destiny…
Athens is in turmoil. Not only is it under siege by
the vast Minoan army and its bloodthirsty King
Minos, but there is ongoing political unrest which
spawns an assassination attempt on King Aegeus.
It falls upon the Athenian queen, the brilliant
and unmerciful sorceress Medea, to thwart the
challenges to the throne, aided by young Hero,
Aegeus’ secret son.
Hero’s mythical quest leads him through the
darkest realms of Ancient Greece, accompanied
by the beautiful but twisted Oracle of Gaia and
genius inventor Daedalus, as he battles trickster
Gods, vicious monsters, seductive nymphs, kings
and despots. Forced to experiences betrayal,
love, disappointment, empowerment and exile,
Hero must transform from fresh-faced and naïve
to calculating, ruthless, and cold hearted – a
match for the Gods themselves.
After discovering the real reason he was brought
up in hiding, we follow the young and idealistic
Hero as he strives to unlock the doors to Olympus
and become an immortal. As Aegeus’ first born,
he holds within himself the mystical Lexicon – the
key to solving the riddle of the Gods...
While Olympus takes place in a visually stunning
mythological world that defies the realm of
imagination, the series is grounded in timeless
storytelling, presenting a no-holds-barred
adventure into the darker side of human nature, as
Hero’s journey lays bare our most twisted desires...
