origin story in Greek mythology and how it contrasts with their portrayal the siries centers they have around three individuals ariad Ury and chus who possess the ability to overthrow Zeus uh the be of thunder and head of the Greek pantheon Beyond these four characters the Netflix production cleverly incorporates a myriad of gods goddesses and Greek mythology figures remarkably capturing many aspects accurately in chaos although characters such as her and dianis occupy key positions in the narrative others like Medusa and Deus hold less prominent roles for instance Medusa barely appears in several Beast of scenes but manages the underworld as for datus he's imprisoned by King Minos aiding him in managing his estate there's also a subtle reference to Achilles at the gr store interestingly among the most intriguing characters are the Furious who have a substantial impact on the story despite being visible for only 20 minutes collectively throughout the entire production these figures from R mythology are crucial to grasp the furies a captivating band of deities make a brief appearance in chaos known as the ires or sometimes the humanties and the senni in Greek

final for us please Christian and Clos fedo it's stated that when not punishing criminals on Earth the furies play a crucial role in the Underworld after souls are judged by Minos ramus and Ty one Aus sons of Zeus these vengeful goddesses purify the sins of the righteous and condemn the wicked to Tartarus deaths they oversee the torment inflicted upon those in their domain however in chaos or perhaps the depiction in season 1 this role of the theu seems to be absent because there's no judgment of souls the underworld isn't divided into multiple levels as traditionally portrayed in the realm of movie watching I must say uh that even though the fies appear in just two episodes of chaos their influence on AR's tale is profoundly significant as I watched her narrative unfold it was as
