Five Aspects of Kaos That Might or Might Not be from Greek Myth
By Emily Hauser/The Conversation
Kaos is a modern-day, darkly comic reworking of Greek myth. If, like me, you got hooked on it, you might be wondering what was actually taken from myth and what was creative license taken by Kaos’s writer, Charlie Covell.
Well, I’m here to help. I’m a Greek myth expert and my upcoming book, Mythica, is all about uncovering the real history behind the Greek myths. And in my day job as a classicist, I get to spend my time looking at (and reading) modern retellings of ancient myths. It’s not a bad life when you can say you get to watch Kaos for work.
(This article contains spoilers for Kaos.)
Here are five aspects of the show that you might have questioned, and the links to the myths behind them:
1. Hera’s Bees
Verdict: sort of myth
Ok, so Hera doesn’t actually turn any of Zeus’ victims into bees in the Greek myths. (And let’s take a moment for some honesty: the women Zeus impregnates in the Greek myths are near-universally rape victims.)
