[edit] Season 1
[edit] Aeolus
Aeolus is the former King of the Winds who gave Odysseus the West Wind in a bag (as well as the others) as a gift. He lives on a floating island that rests on the back of a giant turtle. He (or anyone) can control the winds by standing on his crest, saying the Greek word for wind (anemos) and directing it where to go. Chronus took control of the crest and winds until Odie arrived. He is depicted as a pot-bellied old man with a beard and an English accent.
Aeolus is voiced by Robert Russell and appears in Episode 1.15: The Odie-sey.
[edit] Apollo
Apollo is God of the sun, prophecy, medicine, and the arts, one of his attributes being the lyre. He is depicted as a pot-bellied man with a goatee and a bad Italian accent.

[edit] Arachne
Arachne was a mortal woman who was a very good weaver and boasted that she was the best, even better than Athena. One day, an elderly woman at her door warned her not to insult the gods. After hearing a few more insults from Arachne, the woman revealed herself as Athena, who challenged her to a weaving contest. Arachne came out on top with a shiny cloth. While Athena was already angry she had been bested by a mortal, Arachne's impertinent reaction caused the goddess to lash out in rage and transform Arachne into a giant red-black spider
Over the next millennia, she served as a weaver for the gods. She then made a deal with Cronus, if she captures the Chosen Ones, he turns her human. Arachne hypnotised Atlanta into capturing her friends, but Archie freed Atlanta from her control. After the fake prisoner hoax, Arachne was temporarily turned human until turned back when Cronus had to flee. This time, she was the size of a regular spider. After Atlanta convinces the gods that other transformed humans might join Cronos, Athena reluctantly returns Arachne to her mortal form.
Arachne is voiced by Nicole Oliver and appears in Episode 1.14: Make-up Exam.
[edit] Atlas
Atlas is a Titan and native of Atlantis. He usually supports the Pillars of the Sky, though once in a while, he needs a massage because holding the sky is a "pain in the back". He tells the kids that Atlantis and the Atlantic Ocean were named after him and sounds a bit like a cowboy.
Atlas is voiced by Scott McNeil and appears in Episode 1.7: The Antikythera Device.
[edit] Atropos
Atropos is one of the three Fates. She has control over the threads of life and chooses to let destiny unfold rather than control it or side with Cronus or the Olympians.

She has the appearance of a bald woman with a robe that holds the life threads of every living being.
Atropos is voiced by Pam Hyatt and appears in episode 1.19: Road to Hades.
[edit] Calypso
Calypso is the nymph who kept Odysseus on her island, Ogygia, for seven years.

But when Odie showed some of Odysseus' intuition, she let him go with a ship leftover from one of her last boyfriends. After Odie saved the rest of his friends, he returned and they kissed. As she is immortal, she can wait for him to come back for as long as needed. At the same time, she regularly adopts any men who wash up on her island as her new boyfriends and has a display of keepsakes from them, mostly helmets.
Calypso is voiced by Sarah Johns and appears in Episode 1.15: The Odi-sey.
[edit] Campe
Campe is the Jailer of Tartarus. Her only escapee is Chronus. First planning to use the Chosen Ones as bait, she finally allied herself with them after an embarrassing fight against Jay.

She has a woman's head, torso and arms, the body of a snake and has a live scorpion on her back that can detach itself of her body, and she wields a staff. Her favorite question to ask herself seems to be: "Is my enemy's enemy my friend or my enemy?". Ironically, in Greeky mythology, she worked for Cronus.

[edit] Charon

[edit] Echo
Echo is a mountain nymph who loved the sound of her own voice and would talk incessantly, especially if she got the last word. When her constant chatter annoyed a god, she was punished so that she would only get the last word of others, thus the origin of echoes. Echo fell in love with Narcissus, who rejected her and broke her heart before her body faded away and left only her voice.
Over thousands of years, Echo learned to manipulate sound waves (regaining her own voice in the process, able to imitate other people with more word of her own and powers that have sound), construct a device that can allow her to eavesdrop on others, managed to create another body for herself, and learned how to teleport. The nymph falls in love with and kidnaps Neil (who quickly becomes annoyed of her still talkative nature), but ends up helping him save Jay and the others from Cronus when Neil tells her the defeat of his friends means the end of the world and, more importantly, Neil himself. After the adventure, Echo decides that Neil is too self-absorbed for her tastes and dumps him before he can do the same to her.
Echo is voiced by Maryke Hendrikse and appears in Episode 1.25: The Last Word.
[edit] Hecate
Hecate is the goddess of witchcraft, crossroads, and of the dead. Originally a benevolent entity, she was corrupted her own power and banished from the underworld for her wickedness.

Once freed, she appears through at a movie screen and attempts to summon the dead to overtake the living and steals back a pair of torches which maximize her powers of witchcraft. The Chosen Ones defeat her by trapping her inside the movie's dimension. When she holds the torches, she takes on her triplicate form, sprouting the heads of a bear, dog, and horse.
Hecate is voiced by Patricia Drake and appears in Episode 1.8: See You at the Crossroads.
[edit] Hades

She leads the Amazons as a warrior herself against the heroes and drives a chariot pulled by a dragon. She can also magically transport her victims to remote locations, as well as manipulate anything with magic as long as she is wearing the pendant. After the pendant was removed, she returned to normal and had no recollection of her time as Medea. Herry, Archie, and Odie go head over heels for her, and even Jay seems to be attracted, much to the annoyance of Theresa and Atlanta.

[edit] Melampus/Russell
Melampus is a kind circus master in charge of the "Circus of the Impossible". He has the ability to get animals to do what he wishes using a form of telepathy. His real name is Russell, but he chose his stage name based on a mythological figure with the same powers: Melampus, described as the original Dr. Dolittle, who was an oracle with the ability to understand animals after snakes licked his ears. Cronus seems to think that Melampus shares some sort of direct connection to his mythological namesake and enchants him, making him bad-tempered, unable to talk to his animals and unwilling to help the Chosen Ones when Neil is kidnapped by Stymphalian birds.
Melampus/Russell is voiced Peter Kelamis and appears in Episode 1.23: Cronus' Flying Circus.
[edit] Minos

Cronus consults him to find out who or what stands in his way for world domination, and the heroes talk to him to discover Neil's location prior to the team coming together completely. He usually sits by a magazine stand in the streets of New Olympia. Given his strange eyes and his gift of prophecy, he may or may not be a reference to Teiresias, the blind prophet of Zeus. He likes sushi and thinks he looks like a bald cat.
The Oracle is voiced by Brian Drummond and appears in Episode 1.1: Chaos 101, Episode 1.3: Chaos 103, and Episode 1.26: Time After Time.

His appearance is similar to that of a satyr, half-man and half-goat. While disguised as a student at New Olympia, he was quite popular with the ladies and even attracted the attention of Atlanta, who had never been attracted to others in a romantic way before. There are hints that Pan will show up again in season 2 and influence both Atlanta and Archie.

[edit] Pandora
Pandora was the first mortal woman, whom the gods created to punish mankind.

[edit] Polyphemus
Polyphemus is the one-eyed cyclops and son of Poseidon who was blinded by Odysseus wielding a sharpened log, which he still keeps with him as a reminder. Since the blinding, he had taken up smithing to redeem himself in the eyes of the gods. Cronos gives him his sight back in exchange for seven descendants of the Greek heroes, and sets-up his new workshop at an abandoned factory. Poisoning his mind that the descendants of the original heroes were the originals, he captured five until Archie and Theresa freed them. Archie was about to use one of his own thunderbolts against him when Odie took the fall. Polyphemus revived him with his electric orb that also serves as a charger for the thunderbolts. But then Cronos brought the building down, possibly killing him. Polyphemus also holds strong values for honour.

He is depicted as a giant merman with a long sea-green beard, fins for ears and on his arms and wearing a crown made of shells. He was the father of Theseus, and Theresa is therefore also descended from him (and Cronos). Cronos captured him and chained him to the sand in a desert, although Theresa rescued him. He lives in an underwater palace beneath the sea. During the Titanomachy, he had legs in lieu of a fish's tail.
Poseidon is voiced by French Tickner and appears in Episode 1.16: Get Kraken and Episode 1.26: Time After Time.
[edit] Sybaris
Sybaris was once a mortal queen, her betrayal of Hera led to Sybaris' imprisonment into a cave and banishment from all she loved. Her hatred for mortals made her a lamia, an early vampire. By day, she is a beautiful girl answering to the name of Thalia, but by night she was a humanoid half-bat half-snake creature. Hera took away all Sybaris loved, which were her offspring, while nearby villagers captured her and threw her off a cliff. She reverted to her human form and turned to stone; in the exact spot she fell a fountain sprung. Cronus revives her and suggests that she kills the Chosen Ones as revenge against Hera. To do this, Sybaris feigns romantic interest in Herry as a local girl named Thalia to capture and bite him while setting vampires free to attack his friends. Sybaris is defeated after a fight with Hera when Jay stabs the former in the back. Sybaris returns to stone and is restored to the fountain.
