Gods, Goddesses, Heroes and other mythical figures from religious mythologies
have made continued appearances in Hollywood films since the 20th century,
with many of them reflecting the times and era of their production in the guise of
depicting the “ancient” world and dealing with “sacred” themes in a secular
manner. While a cinematic text invites us to identify with the hero, the antagonist
is imbued with qualities that require judgement from the hero. This paper seeks
to undertake a character study of the Greek God Hades from Clash of the Titans
(2010) and the Egyptian God Set from Gods of Egypt (2016) to understand the
ways in which the cinematic imagination constructs them as antagonists and
condemns their ways.
