Blood of Zeus: Voice Cast & Character Guide

Blood of Zeus is a Netflix original anime that chronicles an imagined forgotten chapter of Greek mythology. It follows the life of Heron, an outcast in his town, who discovers he is the son of the mighty god Zeus. The series comes from Powerhouse Animation, the same studio that produced the ever-popular series Castlevania. Blood of Zeus was written by brothers Charley and Vlas Parlapanides, who are combining their interests in Greek history and anime. The brothers previously collaborated on Henry Cavill-led Immortals and a film adaptation of anime series Death Note. Shaunt Nigoghossian directs, having previously worked as a storyboard artist on projects such as Batman: The Killing Joke, Justice League Action, and Transformers Prime.

Blood of Zeus shares some similarities with Powerhouse Animation’s Castlevania, including horror elements and impressive visuals using 2D animation. Blood of Zeus does justice to the grandiosity of Greek mythology with vibrant imagery, intense sequences of action and adventure, and a suitably powerful soundtrack.

Fans of Greek mythology will appreciate a fresh take on such monumental figures, as the show works to create a new perspective from which to tell its story. Blood of Zeus features an incredibly talented voice cast, including voice actors with hundreds of credits and actors who work more in live-action. Here’s our guide to the cast and characters of Blood of Zeus.
