Though Heron himself is a character created for the show, the existence of such demigods born of the union between a god and a human is implied to be common in the original myths. The show claims in its prologue to be one of the tales “lost to history” rather than passed down with our current canon of Greek myths. The show features gods, giants, automata, and mythical mounts from the original tales.Alexia hunts two demons close to a village where Heron works as a miner. As his mother is unmarried and he is thus a bastard, they are mistreated by the villagers. Their only friend is Elias, an elderly man. When a demon attacks Heron, Alexia injures and captures it while it is hiding in human form. Alexia explains that a cult of humans turned into demons is approaching and burns the human, revealing his demonic face to the villagers. Elias explains to Heron that after the Olympian Gods defeated the Titans, giants grew from the Titans’ blood. Zeus made a deal with two giants to betray their fellows and throw their corpses into the sea, trapping their souls in a cauldron guarded by Talos. The body of a giant was later discovered by a human cult, who ate the giant’s flesh and became the demons. Alexia invites Heron to become one of her soldiers, but he refuses to help save the villagers because of their mistreatment. Men from the village accuse Heron’s mother of being a demon and attempt to burn her, only for her to burn herself to prove she is human after they beat Heron.
