 All the characters are essentially 'morally grey' - and its interesting how the author attempts to work around the pre-existing drama within Greek mythology.

For example: Zeus always cheats, kills, and generally does evil things when he is disrespected or unhappy with other beings agency; Hera stays with him despite it, yet she is fierce and amazing. How to deal with that? How to present characters in such a way that these things can coexist. The same applies to Apollo, who is loved by his fierce twin sister Artemis. How to present a rapist, while also showing him as someone who is loved by the lovely Artemis? Why would she?
