Every once in a while, I come across the Hellenic Gods in a medium other than the ancient writing. Sometimes very far removed. Still, modern representations of the Gods can be fun and that is why I wanted to share with you the art of the 2005 Korean movie 'Olympus Guardian'.
In Olympus Guardian, Eurimedon, king of mankind, dares to defy the Gods whom he doubts exist. In his ignorance, he brings back the Gigantes and attacks Olympus. The Hellenic Gods struggle to resist and overcome this threat to their kingdom, but Poseidon, God of sea and his son Triton eventually rise up against Eurimedon and the Gigantes and fight for their home.
