Image Character Description
COTT2-11373r Perseus Perseus is the demi-god son of Zeus and brother of Ares, just as in mythology. However various points contradict his mythological history:
  • First of all, Ares had a personal grudge against Hercules and viceversa, not with Perseus.
  • In myth, it was Theseus who defeated the Minotaur, not Perseus.
  • Perseus didn't slay Kronos, it was Zeus.
  • Perseus was not the first man or demigod to defeat a Cyclops, it was Odysseus.
COTT2-04974 Andromeda Just as in myth, Perseus and Andromeda are romantically involved (tough this was not the case on the first film of this rebooted franchise).
WOTT-VFX-011 Hades Hades is the god of the underworld in both the film and myth, and though his relationship with the other gods is not quite good, it is not as antagonistic as portrayed in the film. Other differences between the film and mythology are:


  • Hades never affiliated himself with Kronos in myhthology but he did in the film, though he had a change of heart later in the movie.
  • Hades used a staff in myth, not a pitchfork. In later mythology however, he was depicted with the pitchfork.
COTT2-03362r Poseidon
  • Pan was the first known god to die in mythology, however in the film Poseidon is the first god that dies. Poseidon was never killed in mythology though.


  • Poseidon's trident was used only by Poseidon and not by Agenor or Perseus, as demonstrated in the film.
COTT2-10254 Ares *Ares never battled Perseus in mythology, however in th film he did, he was jealous of Zeus' love for Perseus and was even killed by him.


  • Warriors and soldiers prayed to Ares in the film, however they never did in mythology, as no one would ever pray to the god of war.
Wrath-of-the-titans-chimera Chimera The Chimeras appearing in the film, are two-headed monolithic creatures, with furry skin, giant wings similar to those of a bat, each head is equipped with a horn or none. Both heads of the creature employ teamwork, one head spews the fuel, the other ignites it in mid-air generating torrents of scorching fire which was shown to rapidly ignite flesh and wood. Chimeras in mythology are creatures with two or three heads, and are not capable to fly in comparison with the chimeras of the film. Also the chimeras do not reside on the underworld as opposed to that of the film.
Makhai Makhai The Makhai are double-torso'd, sword wielding monsters, supposedly the union between spirits of fallen warriors bound for eternity to fight alongside each other. The depiction in the film does not contradict their mythological origin, neither explains it. In mythology, the Makhai are the spirits of battle and war, which accompanied Ares on the battlefield, just as in the film their allegiance is to Ares and Kronos.
WOTT-FP-009 Pegasus In myth, the Pegasus is a flying white and winged horse, however in the film it is portrayed as been black.
