The dark comedy "Kaos", now streaming on Netflix, tells a compelling reimagining of Greek mythology. However, this story doesn't just use the myths for plot, the name "Kaos" itself carries a lot of weight.
Those who love Greek mythology will pick up on the title "Kaos" quickly. It has two interpretations within Greek cosmology: the first is a term referring to the universe's disordered and empty state before the existence of the gods. Second, it signifies the first primordial god, Kaos, in Greek mythology. Kaos is viewed as the personification of emptiness.
The show takes these core ideas from Greek mythology to bring about new characters and tales, reimagined for modern times. It centers on iconic characters such as Zeus and Hera. But it's a good reminder of the confusing nature of the gods' lineage, as Zeus and Hera are related, since she's their great-great-grandmother and also great-grandmother!
If the title's deep meaning has to do with a new character in Season 2, we could be in for some surprising new developments in "Kaos". The powerful "Kaos" main characters, Zeus and Hera are joined by characters who become power players in the series finale of season 1: Hera, Riddy, Ari, and Persephone are now in control! This is an intriguing contrast to the original myth, where they are mostly governed by male deities.
The producers have a lot of creative leeway here, as she hasn't been seen in any film or TV show, meaning that Kaos is more of a blank slate in the storytelling world.
