Synopses

Ariadne

Ariadne, Princess of Crete and daughter of King Minos, grows up in a palace shadowed by the Labyrinth below, where the Minotaur demands blood. When Theseus, Prince of Athens, arrives as a sacrifice, she sees a chance to escape, but helping him means betraying her family and risking the wrath of the gods. In a world where women are treated as pawns, her choice may come at a devastating cost.

Elektra

The House of Atreus is cursed, its bloodline marked by violence and vengeance. The story follows Clytemnestra, Cassandra and Elektra as their lives become entwined with the curse and the unpredictable will of men and gods. As war and bloodshed close in, each woman faces what it means to be bound to a fate she did not choose.

Atalanta

Born to the King of Arcadia and met with disappointment, Atalanta is left exposed on a mountainside and raised by a mother bear under the protection of Artemis. Determined to prove her worth, she leaves the forest to join Jason’s Argonauts. She must fight to make her mark in legends shaped for men.

Hera

Hera, immortal goddess and daughter of the Titan Cronus, helps Zeus overthrow their tyrannical father and dreams of ruling beside him. As their reign on Mount Olympus begins, she fears Zeus may mirror the cruelty they sought to end. This retelling presents Hera as vengeful when required, compassionate, and an all-powerful queen of the gods.
