I want to worship Hades... how? what benefit can i get?

Arion (アリオン?) was a manga series written and illustrated by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko, published in Tokuma Shoten's Monthly Comic Ryū from March 1979 to September 1984. The story follows Arion, a young man kidnapped by Hades as a child and raised to believe that his mother was blinded by Zeus and that killing the ruler of Mount Olympus will cure her.

An animated feature film adaptation, written and directed by Yasuhiko, was released in 1986.

Not exactly faithful to the lore, but the arch-types are there. The battle scenes were great.

The movie can be found on youtube, split into 10 minute parts due to constraints.

I don't know... Why don't you try?

you will become his slave

I've never found enjoyment in watching anime... and films that involve Greek myth but tend to stray away from the original source... Sorry

Shout out to Prometheus. Thanks for the helping hand

I can honestly say discovering anime even at my relatively older age is like breathing fresh new air into my perception of entertainment. Especially with today's emphasis on "reality tv" and before that, "shock tv".

There was one relatively "accurate" anime adaptation of Greek myths, one of the earliest animes I've seen.

Hoshi no Orpheus


The more recent "Heroic Age" is a retelling with a sci-fi fantasy setting of Hercules.

Both sound very interesting, especially when I've only properly read about Heracles' Twelve Labours recently...

i want worship Aphrodite..

I'm fairly into the myth. And I read the whole Percy Jackson book series, which puts a refreshing modern twist to the series. And I was an avid follower of Hercules tv series and Xena the Warrior Princess.

I must say my favourite Greek god is Apollo and Artemis.

Imagine what will happen if it was the Titans who won instead of Zeus & co. and how can Zeus's father lose to Zeus? and if Zeus's father is one of the Titans, does it mean that the other Titans were Zeus & Co. uncle and aunt?

I've never read any Percy Jackson book, but I have seen the first adaptation of Percy Jackson in film, and found a certain dislike for the way the gods are presented...
Artemis is one of my favourite too...

I'd think the reason for the loss of the Titans against the gods was due to the aid of the Cyclopes on the side of the gods... (Zeus received a thunderbolt, a helmet of invisibility to Hades, a trident for Poseidon)

Errr I'd answer yes to the question...

so the whole fiesta is just a family arguement on who gets to be awesome.

inbipur i good greek and norse myth fan

That means the Cyclops has Hephastus's blacksmith skillZ?

The movie was HORRIBLE. HORRIBLE!!!

Mainly it was because Cronos was swallowing every child born by Rhea...
I like Norse myth too but never undertook the task of reading...

i like how in the movie they undermined Cronos and Cyclops. Everytime I watch a greek movie and they show both of them, I'll shout NERF'ED! and Hercules is buffed like crap. I like Hermes. carefree and the only one without much war.
