"I would not use the term 'accuracy' at any point in Xena: Warrior Princess, because it's fantastic," professor Peter Meinek remarks, highlighting the differences in how ancient myths are adapted for modern entertainment.
"We're dealing with rather fantasy-rich material from the start... they’ve come down to us in forms that reflect more or less eternally human notions about the forces that govern reality,” Meinek states, emphasizing the enduring relevance of these myths.
The ancient gods were, in their way, the comic-book heroes of their time, possessing distinct traits and superhuman powers, which helps to connect those myths with modern superhero narratives.
