Zeus' Pupil, Theseus

              The Immortals is a recent mythological movie that just came out about three months ago. Being honest, when first saw the trailer, I knew this movie was either going to be really good or that it was going to be really bad. I don’t really know why, it just came to my mine that way. I guess I was looking at it in that way because the trailer seemed like those trailers that are awesome and then the movie is totally disappointing. Anyways, the movie turned out to be pretty interesting. In this movie, the main character is Theseus, one of the biggest heroes of Greek mythology, who does not really have a birth connection with the gods, he is totally human. However, he was touch by the gods, and according to the movie he was one of Zeus’ favorite mortals. Moreover, the fact that I liked the most about this movie, which is actually true in the Greek mythology, is that they call the titans to be no more than gods. In the movie, they explain how in the war fought by the Olympians against the rest of the gods (war known by the name of Titanomachia), the defeaters came to be call the gods, and the defeated came to be called titans.
