The website's critics consensus reads, "Reforging Greek mythology as an epic battle royale with slick imagery and sterling voice acting, Blood of Zeus earns a spot on the Mount Olympus of action animation.

[18] The website's critics consensus reads, "Blood of Zeus long-awaited second season steps down from Olympus to explore Greek myth's underworld, finding even more compelling lore and emotional texture than before.

wrote, "With fantastic animation that captures epic action moments and emotional character growth that goes far beyond expectations, Blood of Zeus Season 2 is near perfect."

This includes Black Nerd Problems critic Frantz Jerome who wrote, "What Blood of Zeus brought to the table from its pilot in season one was something inherently Greek.

Despite there being some very notable standout TV shows and movies (Jane the Virgin and Black Panther for instance) that utilize culture to ground their fiction in ways that are super relatable to audiences."
