An ancient prophecy predicts that seven teenage heroes, Jay, Atlanta, Herry, Archie, Theresa, Odie, and Neil, who are the descendants of ancient Greek heroes, will be the ones to defeat Cronus for good. After being found, they are brought to Olympus High School in New Olympia, where they train to become strong enough to face him while fighting against monsters he sends to attack them.
Characters Main Jay (voiced by Kirby Morrow) – "The Leader", a sixteen-year-old boy who is the descendant of Jason of the Argonauts and the first of the teenagers to be found. The leader of the group, he wields a xiphos with a retractable blade and takes his role as a hero seriously, possessing a strong sense of responsibility and work ethic. He is of Greek heritage on his mother's side and grew up with stories of classical mythology, making him more knowledgeable on the subject than the other heroes, and enjoys sailing. Though he has feelings for Theresa, they do not become a couple until they share a kiss in the series finale. His mentor is Hera. Atlanta (voiced by Meghan Black in season 1, Sarah Edmondson in season 2) – "The Hunter", a fifteen-year-old girl who is the descendant of Atalanta, and the second of the teenagers to be found. Born and raised in the Northwest Territories, she has a scar on her right shoulder from an incident with a puma and has enhanced reflexes and tracking abilities. She has a passion for weapons, primarily wielding jaw-trap steel bolas or a crossbow gauntlet, though enjoys hunting with traditional weapons such as a bow and arrow. Though she can be short-tempered and impulsive, she is studious and interested in environmental issues, being a volunteer for the Green Alliance. Herry (voiced by Ty Olsson) – "The Brawn", a sixteen-year-old farm boy who is the descendant of Hercules, who is also his mentor, and the third of the first three teenagers to be found. He has superhuman strength and often does not wield a weapon, preferring to use brute force. Though laid-back and easy-going, he has a short temper, which has caused him to get into trouble. Herry drives a pickup truck given to him by his grandmother, which Hephaestus modified and equipped to be the group's mode of transport. Archie (voiced by Sam Vincent) – "The Warrior", a fifteen-year-old boy who is the descendant of Achilles and the fourth teen brought to Olympus High. He wields the "Hephaestus Whip," a cross between a chain whip and a rope dart, which Hephaestus later upgrades to the "Adamantine Whip". He wears a brace covering his right shin and part of his right foot due to an unspecified medical condition that affects his heel. According to Dionysus, Archie, like Achilles, is immune to disease and has never been sick. In addition to his physical abilities, Archie is knowledgeable about Greek mythology from reading Greek poetry. He tends to be brash and self-centered, but is also withdrawn and cynical. His skepticism of the supernatural causes him to be initially hostile towards Theresa, dismissing her abilities as merely predictions, though they settle their differences. Though he had feelings for Atlanta since they first met, he is afraid to confess his feelings; when he does confess, she is initially afraid that their relationship will change, but reciprocates his feelings. His mentor is Ares. Theresa (voiced by Kelly Sheridan) – "The Fighter", a sixteen-year-old girl who is the descendant of Theseus and the sixth teen to be discovered. She is the group's second-in-command and assumes the role of leader when Jay is incapacitated.

She comes from a wealthy family and her father owns cattle ranches across Canada. She is a talented lyre player, and, along with Atlanta, plays on Olympus High's field hockey team. After the gods push her too far, her powers grow out of control in the form of an evil spirit that drains the powers of most of the gods and Cronus, allowing the Chosen Ones to defeat him and fulfill the Oracle's prophecy. After draining Zeus, she declares that she and Jay are free, but is horrified to learn that Hera told Jay to kill her. Jay tries to convince her that the combined powers of the gods will destroy her, only for the Phantom to toss Jay aside, causing her to realize that she has gone too far.

Odie (voiced by Doron Bell Jr.) – "The Brains", a sixteen-year-old boy who is the descendant of Odysseus and the fifth teen to be discovered.

Neil (voiced by Ted Cole) – "The Good Looking", a sixteen-year-old boy who is the descendant of Narcissus and the seventh and final teen to be discovered.
