Hades 2 does away with bits of Greek myth, then writes it own. It's fantastic.

Growing up, we had the Jujuboori and Flim-flam, two creatures my Dad made up to get us to behave in the car. To me, I saw the former as a fox, the latter was a giant dragonfly.
The reason a myth resonates is not because Odin’s eyepatch is cool, nor is it that Aragorn has a swanky sword, but it’s because these are very real archetypes that are hard to ignore. Let’s look at Hephaestus, for example. The God of Smithing is often depicted as commandeering, strong, and stern. Like the rest of the Olympians, he’s often more ripped than a Rob Liefeld character, and at this point, is often indistinguishable from the rest of the gods save for his hammer.
The Hades 2 interpretation of Aphrodite also has its own flavour. One thing I’ve really appreciated so far is that she has a thing for Charon, the Ferryman. This is a tiny addition, but it adds to the texture of the game in a way that sticking to the source material could never have allowed. Before, she would have been the Goddess of Love, but now she’s the Goddess of Love Who, Ironically, Wants Someone She Can’t Ever Have.
