Copycat series?


I can't help but wonder if this was "inspired" by the "Percy Jackson" books. True, there are a lot of differences, but the basic idea of human teenagers (either of heroic descent or divine offspring) are chosen by the Greco-Roman gods to defend Olympus & Earth against the threat of Cronus.

I doubt it very much. Rick Riordan is an American novelist, and this show didn't hit the airwaves until around 2008 or 2009. "The Lightning Thief, the first book in the Percy jackson series, was published in 2005, one year before this series aired according to IMDB.

Maybe it was just the same concept thought up independently, but that was my immediate reaction as well. Kind of inextricable.
