Netflix previews trailer for Greek myth-inspired animated series 'Blood of Zeus'

Netflix has just released the first trailer for Blood of Zeus, a new original anime series inspired by the godly conflicts of Greek mythology.

Set in a world of classical Greek antiquity, the animated series follow Heron, a castaway who learns that he is the illegitimate son of Zeus. He alone can save both Heaven and Earth but to do so, he must survive the vengeful wrath of a goddess who wants him dead and the monstrous forces of evil she aligns against him.

Here’s the brief description for Blood of Zeus:

In a brewing war between the gods of Olympus and the titans, Heron, a commoner living on the outskirts of ancient Greece, becomes mankind's best hope of surviving an evil demon army, when he discovers the secrets of his past.
