''[[Class of the Titans]]'' is a Canadian animated television series created by Studio B Productions and [[Nelvana]]. The series lasted from December, 2005 to February, 2008. A total of 52 episodes in two seasons.

The plot is the following: Cronus, the God of Time, has escaped from the Underworld at midnight of New Year's Eve. With an army of giants behind him, Cronus intends to conquer and destroy the world. Cronus escaped by aligning the planets which gave him enough power to get the party started.

Heroes:

* [[The Lancer|Atlanta]] - "The Hunter," descendant of Atalanta (the opening theme says Artemis, but [[Word of God]] admitted this was a mistake)

* [[Accidental Hero]]: In the episode "Labour Day" it is shown that {{spoiler|Herry}} was the one who completed a few of the 12 labors of Hercules. Hercules merely showed up in time for the masses to give him the credit.

* [[Action Girl]]: Atlanta, especially in "Tantalize This" when she expresses a desire to prove she can be just as strong if not stronger than all the boys on the team.

* [[Almighty Janitor]]: Mr. Suez is {{spoiler|[[Sdrawkcab Name|Zeus]], the king of the ancient Grecian Gods}}

** The gods in general get bonus points for having their secret entrance ''in a janitor's closet.''

* [[Angry Guard Dog]]: Cerberus, ~~gaurdian~~ of the gates to underworld. Known to become a [[Big Friendly Dog]] when in the ~~prescence~~ of his master Hades or whenever he hears lyre music.

* [[Badass in a Nice Suit]]: Kronos

* [[Big Bad]]: Cronus

* [[Because Destiny Says So]]: The first thing Cronus does after breaking out of Tartarus is walk up to [[Blind Seer|The Oracle]] and ask; "What, if anything, can stop me?" For an answer he is shown images of the seven teens. This is the main reason the ~~olympian~~ gods recruit them in the first place.

* [[Black and Nerdy]]: Odie, natch.

* [[Boisterous Bruiser]]: Herry.

* [[Sinister Scythe]]: Cronus's, which ''also'' shows up in [[Greek Mythology]].

* [[Super Speed]]: Atlanta's main ability.

* [[Taken for Granite]]: One episode features Medusa and her two sisters. It is also ~~explicitaly~~ stated that anything that gets turned to stone stays that way forever.

** Another episode had the teens minus Jay venturing into the Underworld on a mission to save Jay from death. They were warned ~~NOT~~ to stray off the path. What does Neil do? Walk off the path. What happens to him? Turns into a stone statue. Granted, he did turn back to normal when he was set on the path again.

* [[Welcome Back, Traitor]]: {{spoiler|Theresa}}

* [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity]]: During the finale {{spoiler|Theresa}} becomes [[Ten-Minute Retirement|tired of having to save the world]] every week and blames the gods for putting them in this situation to being with. {{spoiler|Theresa}} then goes about stealing some of the gods' powers and ''using'' them. Before long {{spoiler|Theresa}} begins systematically hunting down everyone of the Greek pantheon to take away their powers so the teens can have 'normal lives' again.

* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]]: Archie is ''afraid'' of water. This is actually quite [[Irony|ironic]] since Achilles had gained his famed invulnerability when his mother dipped him in the River Styx (holding him by the [[Achilles' Heel|heel]]).

** This may actually be explained off-screen. When the Heroes visit their ancient counterparts in Hades, a commercial break ends with Archie saying "that explains it" to Achilles. We never find out what he was talking about. It's easy to see why, at least for Achilles, being held by your heel and dipped into the River of the Underworld by your mother as an infant might leave lasting phobias.

*** Doubly so since Achilles mother (~~Archies~~ however-many-greats grandmother) was a sea deity,

* [[You Never Asked]]: Atlas' response when Odie asks him why he didn't tell the heroes of Atlantis' location earlier.
