Episodes 1–10
A Thousand Years of Barrenness
Hera's jealousy is not arbitrary; it is the product of a thousand years of being barren. The show opens by establishing why she would read a strange divine child as a threat rather than as a gift.
01
The story
The short version. Family, 41 episodes on YourChannel. Hera, barren for a thousand years, grows jealous and mistakes Artemion — secretly created from her own blood by Zeus — for a bastard. She casts him down into the mortal world to suffer, but he keeps fighting to find his mother.
The premise is a Greek-mythology family drama built on one dramatic error. Hera has been barren for a thousand years. Zeus secretly creates Artemion from Hera's own blood; Hera, reading the child as a bastard from some other goddess, casts him down into the mortal world to suffer. The tragedy is that she has condemned her own child, made from her own blood, and the show's engine is the slow distance between what Hera knows and what the audience knows.
The series runs 41 episodes in English on YourChannel. The opening stretch covered by this page stays inside the casting down, Artemion's struggle in the mortal world and the Athena-enforced silence. The later episodes move into the ten-day countdown to the Awakening Trial and the divine mark that will reveal the real mother, which this page deliberately leaves to the show.
Artemion is the active protagonist inside that asymmetry. Cast down into the mortal world, he keeps fighting to find his mother — not knowing that the mother in question is the empress who condemned him. Zeus, who knows the truth, is silenced by Athena, who argues that divine order depends on the secret staying buried. The show turns a mythological pantheon into a custody and succession dispute.
