I'm back. Did you myth me?

Gods, demons, war, curses, prophecies. Don't hate on shows that twist Greek myths. The retelling is all part of the plan

Surely, you've binged all of Kaos by now. Netflix's black comedy, set in modern-day Mount Olympus, Crete and the Underworld, topped the charts in its first weekend of streaming last month. Everyone even those who can't tell Poseidon from a Pomeranian - is hooked to the machinations of gods, demigods, mortals, bees and a kitten.

The myths get a modern spin. Jeff Goldblum plays Zeus, preoccupied with prophecies and losing his power, but loping about his palace in luxury tracksuits. "It's the perfect casting," says Angana Moitra, assistant professor of English at OP Jindal Global University. "He has that suavity and charm, which can swiftly turn into Zeus's trademark casual cruelty." The Minotaur isn't half bull, he's merely a masked, misunderstood man. As for the narrator Prometheus, don't even get him started on that yarn about stealing fire.
