It's silly but worth a look if you're so inclined. Here's the first half of the first episode.

More mythology in cartoon form
What, you thought my monster mythology kick might have finished by now? Shame on you! No, I'm still looking for fun and bizarre media based on my favourite world mythologies, and here's another cartoon version. Class of the Titans was a Canadian action cartoon from the mid 00s loosely based on Greek mythology. The premise? Seven kids descended from Classical heroes are gathered together by the gods into use their unique powers against Cronos, who has escaped from Tartarus and isn't very happy. It's not exactly revolutionary, but it makes up for its lack of originality with some inventive character designs and surprisingly interesting takes on the mythological characters. There's even a joke in one episode about not being able to read Linear A. Each episode centres on a particular deity, myth or monster, and is named accordingly with plenty of room for entertaining puns, my favourite being an episode about the Graeae and their famous all-seeing eye called Grae's Anatomy. It ran for two, 26-episode seasons before finishing on a lacklustre cliffhanger.
