| Ho voluto attendere che fosse ufficiale CITAZIONE Coming in 2015 to Syfy is a new mythological drama series, Olympus, which will take viewers into the action-packed world of humans, Gods and monsters over the course of 13 episodes.
Olympus will tell the story of how a few brave men and women banished the Gods to the realm of the unconscious - a place they called the Underworld or the Kingdom of Hades. The series will follow the protagonist on his journey as he gradually transforms from a fresh-faced and raw young man through the dramatic experiences of betrayal, love, disappointment, empowerment and exile, until he emerges a ruthless leader of men, and a match for the Gods themselves.
Great Point Media and Thunderbird’s Reunion Pictures brings together the team behind Olympus including writer Nick Willing (Tinman, Neverland), Executive Producer Mathew O’Connor (Continuum,Alice) and the late and legendary executive producer Robert Halmi Sr. (Mr. and Mrs. Bridge, The Odyssey, Gulliver’s Travels). questo è il cast. CITAZIONE Hero
TOM YORK
Hero, the bastard son of King Aegeus, is the holder of the Lexicon (the secret code that allows man to enter Olympus). In a sense, Hero is the Gods’ "canary in the coal mine”: If he - or any other human for that matter - knocks at Olympus' door, Zeus knows that Man has exceeded his status and is on the verge of becoming a threat. But Hero doesn’t care about the Lexicon (he’s not even aware of it at first). He’s an honest, simple man who just wants to understand his past. What he doesn’t know is that journey will reveal his destiny.
Oracle
SONYA CASSIDY
On the outside, Oracle is unaffected, straight-forward and trustworthy (she's got the best poker face in the Peloponnese). After all, she's a Seer - the mouthpiece of the Gods - so how could she be anything but? Fact is, Oracle (her position, not her real name - that's a mystery) is tough and shrewd. Her visions, with their terrifying truths and destined events over which she is helpless, haven taken their toll over the years. Enter Hero - a man whose destiny is prophesized - and someone Oracle can, at last, help.
Daedalus
MATT FREWER
Daedalus is a crabby, patronizing, mad genius. He's also heartbroken and guilt-ridden over the loss of his son Icarus. Yes, that Icarus - the one that got too close to the sun. You see, Daedalus built the wings that Icarus used, wings of wax that melted in the sun. So forgive him his curmudgeonly nature - his allies try to, for his intellect and prowess for invention is unparalleled.
Medea
SONITA HENRY
Medea - yes, THAT Medea - is a powerful sorceress who has one true love: Power. She seeks the Lexicon, the hidden code that allows for entry into Olympus. She even married Aegeus to get it. She's charismatic, she's ruthless, she's sexy and she's magical (literally). In short, Medea is irresistible and terrifying.
King Aegeus
GRAHAM SHIELS
Arrogant, aggressive, prone to fits of rage. King Aegeus of Athens is, quite frankly, a real jerk.
Groomed to rule, Aegeus always believed he held the key to the Lexicon, a secret code that allows humans to enter the gates of Olympus. Upon having a son, the Lexicon left Aegeus for his first born, causing him to lose some of his luster - and officially tipped his ratio of speaking to screaming in favor of the latter. Thankfully, his wife Medea tolerates him.
Lykos
WAYNE BURNS
This son of King Aegeus and Madea is not a fighter and not much of a leader, but Lykos has a big heart and a strong sense of strategy. He also thinks he has the key to the Lexicon. Question is: Is that enough to survive?
King Minos
ALAN C. PETERSON
It's perhaps no surprise that the richest and most powerful King in ancient Greece is a ruthless bully. If Harvey Weinstein and Imelda Marcos had a love child, he might turn out like Minos - belligerent, greedy, scheming - determined to conquer the whole civilized world. His name alone strikes terror into the heart of men, but ironically, he has almost the opposite effect on his family.
Ariadne
SOPHIA LAUCHLIN HIRT
Cool, beautiful, calculating and manipulative, Princess Ariadne is the daughter of Aegeus and Hero's enemy, King Minos. Ariadne is a sensation-seeker; Pleasure is often mixed with pain for this entitled princess. Yep, ladies and gentleman, Ariadne is an S&M loving royal. non so cosa pensare, appena avrò maggiori info le scriverò qui, per ora so solo questo |
*, è uno di quelli che io chiamo " miti a incastro ", perchè di questi 50 eroi quasi tutti hanno un ciclo autonomo, o quasi.
beh di certo quello di Orfeo ed Euridice è proprio uno dei più romantici in assoluto...un altro mito che amo in particolare e che in due parole è quello che spiega la nascita delle stagione e quello di Demetra la dea del grano e dell'agricoltura in generale e del rapimento di Persefone sua figlia che divenne poi sposa di Ade, da cui Persefone inizialmente era stata rapita ma poi rilasciato con l'inganno!!!beh la storia è un pò più lunga ma magari ve la cercate xD
