Plot

Ji-woo and Ji-yeon enter the studio of their father, who works as a painter, and become curious as they discover a book of Greek Roman mythology on a desk. Ji-woo and Ji-yeon hear the story of Greek Roman mythology from their father, and the animation starts with the stories of the Olympus gods.

Cronus fears that his sons will be deprived of their status, and swallows them as soon as they are born. However, Cronos' wife, Rhea, did not want her youngest son, Zeus, to be stolen by her cruel husband, Cronus, so he secretly swallows stones and Zeus the baby escapes to a safe place for the maid.

As time goes on, Zeus becomes an adult and hears the story of his birth from the tree spirit, Dryad. This led Zeus to find a herb that induces vomiting to save his brothers and sisters that Cronus swallowed, and goes to the dark-covered Temple of Olympus.

Zeus, who went to the Temple of Olympus, turned to his mother, Rhea, for help. Rhea feeds Cronus with herbs that induce vomiting. With Rhea's help, Zeus's brothers and sisters, who escaped from Cronus' body, defeated Cronus and rescued the Temple of Olympus.

Twelve Olympians

Zeus (Voice actor: Hong Si-ho (episode 1-14, 16-39), Jang Gwang (episode 15)): The best god who lives in form and dies in style. He has every pose that boasts a golden angle so that he can strike a perfect pose anytime, anywhere with a camera. He is charismatic enough to overwhelm other gods with just his posture, but he also collapses once in a while. His behavior is sleek, and he has the tension he can feel from a game character or kung fu master, and he has a great posture. The first movement of action always presents the movement of strong-weak-weak.

Hera (Voice actor: Kang Hee-sun): The best goddess who always reigns with a haughty look. She has an unstrained body and posture, a sharp look and hunch that pierces Zeus' affair, when she flashes her eyes with venom, the ratio of white and pupil becomes 7:3. She guards her family as the goddess who governs marriage. For those who value their homes, they can even feel the soft and holy dignity.

Poseidon (Voice actor: Ahn Jong-duk (episode 1, 2), Kim Kwan-jin (episode 3-6, 10, 32-39), and Shin Sung-ho (episode 7, 13-25)): The god of the sea, characterized by a hearty laugh, strong force, simple thinking, and a mountain-like physique. It gains maximum power with minimal movement. He has only honest power, but his head is simple, so he is covered by the waves he created. Still, he is not budging, but his eyes are wide open. He acts immediately when he believes "this is it!" but he is easily swayed by words and words because of his thin hearing. On the contrary, when the head gets complicated, it creates a windmill wave (Poseidon has Poseidon at the peak of the whirlpool surge as a technology that causes the swirling waves to soar by swinging the trident with Poseidon's own axis).

Hades (Voice actor: Kim Seung-tae (episode 1), Hong Seung-sup (episode 2-5), Gu Ja-hyung (episode 22), and Kim Woo-jeong (episode 35)): A god of the underworld characterized by a poker face that doesn't know what he's thinking. He overpowers the crowd with his gloomy eyes, tight lips, wide-open body, and loud voice. He has dark charisma, the exact opposite of Zeus, but also has the sensitivity to enjoy poetry reading. His hobby is sunbathing in the sunlight coming through the cracks in the dark underground palace. Confessing love with a gloomy look is the sexiest of all male gods.

Apollo (Voice actor: Uhm Tae-kuk (episode 2), Son Won-il (episode 3-7, 10-14, 17-39), Kim Seung-joon (episode 8), and Yoon Bok-sung (episode 15)): The God of Music, Prophecy, and Sun. He is the coolest and best-in-class god of Olympus and the absolute support of the majority of women. He likes to play music with lyre and shoots arrows well. Women tend to fall over their shiny teeth between their smiling lips, turning their golden hair over head banging. Like the image of the sun, he is full of confidence and vitality, and he speaks pleasantly. He speaks and acts while keeping the principle of moderation, but when he goes against himself or hurts his pride, he gets angry and always makes his surroundings a mess. In particular, when someone touches his pride, his actions tend to go before his words, as if he were hypnotized, and he regrets them after such actions.

Artemis (Voice actor: Kim Hye-mi (episode 2) and Woo Jung-shin (episode 26-39)): The goddess of hunting and the moon. She is so healthy and sleek that she doesn't sit still for a long time in one. Think and make decisions quickly and act quickly. She is pure and stubborn, but she can quickly admit her mistakes. When she is upset, she cries and beats her heartlessly, but she is the most girly girl among the goddesses.

Athena (Voice actor: Cha Myung-hwa (episode 2-7, 11-17, 39), Woo Jung-shin (episode 10), and Lee Mi-ja (episode 32-35)): The goddess of undefeated wisdom and war. She is usually taciturn, but she is a goddess of trust and presence enough to make other gods nervous and pay attention to every word she says. She's always serious when she's joking around, talking at the heart of her mouth and saying only what she really needs. She has a lot of female fans because of her small facial expression and tough atmosphere. Once angry, the surroundings are devastated.

Hermes (Voice actor: Kim Young-sun): The gods of traveler, shepherd, merchant and thief. He is characterized by a villain-like smile that feels like various tricks rolling around his head. He is quick and busiest as a god who does the most work among Twelve Olympians. I'm kind to other gods who are always polite and respectful. Everyone is friendly enough to be sympathetic when they see Hermes, and speaks with divine dignity to humans.

Aphrodite (Voice actor: Choi Duk-hee (episode 4-8, 10), Kim Jeong-ju (episode 9), and Ji Mi-ae (episode 22-39)): The goddess of love and beauty. She is perfect body of 34-24-36, white skin like a sculpture, rich blond hair an attraction point. She usually shows off her elegant beauty with her eyes half down without a word. She is a goddess who always carries the gaze of people, especially men and once she gazes straight at it, all the men fall over the glamorous look. She has both elegance and sensuality, and all her actions and tone are relaxed. She speaks slowly, articulate, and captivatingly. When she is angry, she only flutters her hair and turns into a cold, cold atmosphere.

Hephaestus (Voice actor: Kim Kwan-jin): The blacksmith who always makes things in his own studio. He is the dullest and ugliest of the Twelve Olympians. He has a limp and a bad hip and knee joint because he works sitting down. However, he tends to focus on making it with a good smile. He is good at craftsmanship, so he produces results meticulously and perfectly, so he is smart.

Ares (Voice actor: Hong Seung-sup (episode 3, 4), Jung Seung-wook (episode 17), and Ahn Jong-deok (episode 23)): The god of war, always armed and on the battlefield. He lives on the battlefield, so his armor is always dirty. Because of his disheveled hair and beastly eyes, he tries to keep other gods away. He seems to be trying to pick a fight because he always has a tearful personality by sticking his body forward. He gives strength to his words and says it clearly, but the content is always simple and the main focus of the conversation is "Let's fight!" and "Let's go away!" He blushes only in front of Aphrodite, but his actions are the same and only his face turns red. He can't speak when he's angry and smashes his surroundings, saying, "Oh no!".

Demeter (Voice actor: Lee Mi-ja): The goddess of earth and grain. She has a warm build and a warm face. She always has a gentle, benevolent smile, but she is timid and often loses her mind. She exudes a strong hostility that causes everything around her to dry up when her grief goes too far and goes wild. Her insanity-like eyes, which she only sees one thing she wants, often intimates everyone around her and prevents her from getting close. Other gods also get nervous when Demeter is angry, but she is the only one who is recognized as angry because she is really angry.

Storyteller

Father of Ji-woo and Ji-yeon (Voice actor: Lee Bong-jun): He is a painter in his early 40s and features a caring, smiling face. Ji-woo and Ji-yeon are children they value, but they try to correct family fights, stealing and lying. He is a scary father when he is angry, but he is also a weak father who is heartbroken in a dark place when he is angry.

Ji-woo (Voice actor: Lee Mi-ja): A boy in fifth grade in elementary school with a fast brain turn and a lot of fun. He is very cooperative, but he actually compromises in the face of the danger he faces. However, if someone else is in an unexpected situation, he or she tries hard to help. He is not good at sports, but he is also the type of person who moves with strength if there is a cause. He has a bit of a flamboyance and condescends to be a genius, but actually practices this and that in the absence of anyone. He often scolds his younger sister, Ji-yeon, but in fact, he does something touching sometimes because he's doing it for his younger sister. In times of crisis, she also has a sense of dignity and responsibility because she acts to protect her younger sister.

Ji-yeon (Voice actor: Woo Jung-shin): A cute little girl in the second grade of elementary school. Her latest interest is in her appearance with love, which she calls "mirror princess" because she always carries a mirror. She is often absent-minded because of her fast pace of daydreaming. She tends to be tempered when someone else has a hair style that is prettier than her or has something prettier than her, and she hates what others are trying to copy, so she has a personality to throw off if she is wearing the same clothes as her. So I have a great attachment and pride for what I bought once. She screams when she sees something disgusting like a bug, but when she sees a scary monster, she does not feel real and is calm.
