“It is the ancient world. From their prison deep beneath the earth come the Titans… terrible monsters with a burning hatred for mankind. Only the Demigods have the strength to stand against them. Half divine, they possess both the power of the gods and the passions of their mortal heritage. From the backs of chariots they lead legions of men, armed with bronze shields and shining spears. In the shadow of mount Olympus, the Demigods and the Titans make war.”
