More Season Two Designs Revealed at 'Brad's Corner'.

THIS ENTRY AND ITS RELATED LINKS CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR SEASON TWO OF 'CLASS OF THE TITANS'. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE SPOILED, THEN PLEASE DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER OR CLICK ON ANY LINK. THANK YOU.

Director Brad Goodchild has posted a new and unprecedented weekend surprise to his blog -- namely a few designs from the Season Two episode titled A Cold Day in Hades, which has a plot of Demeter freezing the world over when her daughter, Persephone, goes missing (again).

The first sheet is of Hades' Chair of Forgetfulness. No word yet on how the item will play into the episode, but the reference is from a more obscure myth about Persephone's other famous (almost) abduction aside from Hades', namely the incident when Theseus and his friend, Pirithous, went to the Underworld to try and kidnap Persephone to be the wife of the latter (Theseus himself had chosen and abducted a very young Helen of Sparta) -- though Hades initially welcomed them, he trapped both in such chairs. Theseus was eventually rescued by Heracles, but Pirithous was doomed to stay forever.

The second sheet is a design for Demeter -- a mother-goddess of grain and the mother of Persephone -- in both her usual goddess form and in disguise as a cow. No word yet on what the cow part has to do with the plot, but know that in Greek mythology, it is very common for gods to adopt the shapes of animals -- Demeter herself once took the form of a mare, and as for cows, Zeus abducted Europa while disguised as a bull, and in another myth, he disguised Io as a cow to hide her from Hera.

Hey sparkles. And no, you didn't miss anything -- I think I was looking at something else while updating the Season Two news summary, so you're right, I made a mistake and it SHOULD say 'Applet of Discord' :) I'm correcting it right now, and thanks so much for pointing it out!

Hestia/Vesta, I don't know if that comment was directed at me, but given that I'm a Classics student, I find it really odd you'd think I wouldn't know who Hestia and her Roman counterpart of Vesta are. If it was directed at someone else, apologies.

That said, I agree she should appear on an episode, especially if all of the other first generation Olympians have made appearances.
