Clash of the Titans
1981
As the golden boy of Olympus, and ultimate nepo baby, Perseus coasts through life on his divine connections until fate rudely intervenes. As the privileged son of Zeus, he’s handed a grand destiny—but when the jealous gods throw a tantrum and doom his mortal home, he’s forced to actually do something about it. Armed with celestial handouts like a magic sword, a shield that literally shows him the answers, and even a robotic owl (because why struggle when Dad can just rig the game?), Perseus embarks on a quest to slay the monstrous Kraken. In the end, he proves that even a well-connected demigod still has to show up when the chips are down—especially if he wants to keep the family name as legendary.

Argos Seafood Chowder
Rich, briny, and comforting. This combination of the fresh-caught bounty of Aegean infuses the broth with the essence of the sea, while fragrant fennel and sweet leeks dance with tender morsels of fish and shellfish. A whisper of white wine lingers beneath the surface, balanced by the warmth of cracked pepper and a touch of dill. It is the taste of peace, of a city untouched by wrath, of a last perfect meal before the gods remind mortals of the Kraken.
