Olympus features Zeus\u2019 Olympians against the Titans in an epic battle of good vs. evil, and father vs. son. Breaking The Golden Rule of Greek mythology \u2013 never to reveal themselves \u2013 the supposedly mythic gods Zeus and Aphrodite, Pandora and Cronus, Prometheus and Jason, have returned to renew their timeless battles \u2026 as Armageddon beckons.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cAs a kid, I was always fascinated by the Greek gods,\u201d said Chiklis, \u201cso the chance to bring my childhood heroes and villains to life in the modern world is irresistible. Besides, I couldn\u2019t say no to Zeus,\u201d said Chiklis, a third generation Greek-American, \u201cno one in the family would ever talk to me again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cNot only is Michael Chiklis a truly gifted actor,\u201d commented Ted Adams, CEO of IDW Publishing, \u201cbut his passion for comic books will be invaluable in creating what we hope will be a new classic of graphic storytelling.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Chiklis has won numerous awards, including both an Emmy and a Golden Globe, for his role as Detective Vic Mackey in The Shield, FX\u2019s ground-breaking television series, episodes of which he also produced and directed.
