În acest companion neoficial al seriei The Heroes of Olympus, zeii din Olimp sunt prezentați în cele mai mici detalii de la origine și relații familiale până la povești faimoase în care aceștia sunt implicați.
Panteonul vast ale altor zei și creaturi fantastice îi cuprinde și pe următorii:
Atlas - cel care ține greutatea lumii pe umerii săi
Kronos - un Titan care își înghite proprii fii
Persephone - o zeiță răpită care devine regina Lumii de Jos
Minotaur - o creatură pe jumătate om - jumătate taur prizonieră a unui labirint
Hydra - un șarpe veninos căruia îi cresc două capete
Sirene - nimfe mortale care seduc marinarii spre pierzanie prin glasuri și cântece ispititoare
