It is based in a time where the Greek gods were worshiped and ruled over the mortals. The evil King Hyperion has created a murderous army that has been rampaging across Greece in search for the legendary bow. “Village after village falls to Hyperion's legions and each victory takes him one step closer to his goal: unleashing the power of the sleeping Titans to vanquish both the Gods of Olympus and all of humankind”.
The story follows a stonemason, Theseus, who is the bastard son of a poor woman who had been raped. After his mother is killed in one of Hyperion’s raids, Theseus vows to avenge her death. While Theseus is being held captive by Hyperion’s army, he meets Phaedra, the Virgin Oracle. “Her disturbing visions of the young man’s future convince her that he is the key to stopping the destruction. With her help, Theseus assembles a small band of followers and embraces his destiny in a final desperate battle for humanity”.
This movie also introduces several of the Greek gods:
Zeus: god of the heavens and ruler of the gods. He has banned any god from coming to the assistance of a human.
Athena: daughter of Zeus and the goddess of wisdom and battle strategy.
Ares: son of Zeus and god of war.
Poseidon: Zeus’ brother, god of the sea.
Helios: Titan of the sun.
Heracles: son of Zeus and the greatest of Greek Heroes.
Apollo: son of Zeus and god of music, healing, plague, the sun prophecies, poetry, and archery.
