Line 7:
Aeons ago, the old gods emerged from the primordial chaos, order was created, and Cronos ruled the world, [[Eats Babies|gobbling his children]]. And then came Zeus, who dethroned him. Except Cronos is [[Public Enemy|a rapper guy with a clock medallion]], and Zeus turns the dwelling of the Gods into a large [[Office]] managing all of Greece. The story switches between the main action, retelling known Greek legends with a modern twist and the Muses commenting on the events like... [[Greek Chorus|well, you know]].

=== This webcomic provides examples of: ===
* [[Badass Biker]]: Subverted. Although Hades does some things that may be considered badass like ruling the Underworld and raising skeletons, next thing you know, he's {{spoiler|crying his eyes out after a failed blind date, cuddling a tiny three-headed puppy and awkwardly proposing to Aphrodite}}.
* [[Bare Your Midriff]]: Aphrodite, Euterpe and Thalia wear short tops. Not necessarily for the same reasons.
Line 19:
* [[Do Not Attempt]]: The Napalmolive commercial has a disclaimer dissuading mortal readers from using that shower gel.
* [[Emo Teen]]: Melpomene.
* [[Fridge Horror]]: [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20121031174000/http://zeusandsons.com/comics/34/ That cute costume] little Erato is wearing? {{spoiler|That's a fursuit.}}
* [[Gag Nose]]: Aphrodite mocks Hera's large nose, giving her nicknames like "Big Conk".
* [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]: Aphrodite's glow pink.
* [[Good Old Ways]]: Clio appears to consider the prehistoric lifestyle as simpler and healthier.
* [[Goofy Print Underwear]]: [http://zeusandsons.thecomicseries.com/comics/7/ Cronos]{{Dead link}} is depicted with it.
* [[Human Notepad]]: Mnemosyne's back has tattoos of things she should try to remember on it. Mundane things. Including one that urges her to "find a solution in case writing space runs out".
* [[Martial Arts HeadbandHachimaki]]: Worn by Calliope
* [[Motor Mouth]]: Echo, freelance chat-pal. Judging by her [[Uncanny Valley|glazed stare]] and wide smile, she may very well fall within [[Talkative Loon]] territory
* [[Perpetual Smiler]]: Thalia is always depicted smiling or grinning.
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: Ares.
* [[Scenery Censor]], [[Godiva Hair]]: Aphrodite first appears nude, with her [[Rapunzel Hair]]} covering her naughty bits.
* [[Sexophone]]: Lampshaded by Euterpe the first time Aphrodite appears to Zeus.
* [[Shout -Out]]: A bunch of them (from ''[[Terminator (Filmfranchise)|Terminator]]'' to ''[[Team Fortress 2 (Video Game)|Team Fortress 2]]'').
* [[Twinkle Smile]]: Look at the page's image. Baby Hermes doesn't even have teeth, but his ''gums'' twinkle.
