The Pantheon (also referred as Zeus' Pantheon) is an organization in Fortnite: Battle Royale that was first introduced in Chapter 5: Season 2. It includes the majority immortals (gods, daimons and other immortals) inspired by Greek Mythology, all ruled by Zeus.

Overview

The Pantheon's governance is a group composed of the gods of the Greek Pantheon and other immortals, all ruled by Zeus. Contrary to Greek mythology, all gods and some daimons are considered Olympians, even Hades and Cerberus, the latter even being considered as a full fledged god. After the mortals opened Pandora's Box, The Gods of the Pantheon descended onto Helios to fix that by closing the box and punishing The Society, whose member families are part of the Pantheon's lineage. Then Zeus decided to kill all of the mortals for their "hubris" although actually it was because of a prophecy of his downfall by the hand of a mortal, foretold by Apollo and The Oracles, causing conflict among the Pantheon.

It's said that The Pantheon was already known for its infighting, although Persephone says she does not understand why, while listing cases where gods and other immortals hate each other such as Hades with Demeter, Poseidon with Medusa, and Zeus with practically everyone. However, Persephone specifies that when commanded or forced, they all get along, explaining how Zeus managed to rule them.

Glossary

• Gods: Divines being with extraordinary powers and immortality, often governing aspects of nature, life, or human experience. However the immortality of Olympians is not absolute and can be lost.
• Daimons / Daemones: Immortal supernatural beings that occupy a middle ground between gods and mortals. They are often considered spirits or divine entities that influence human affairs, acting as intermediaries between the Gods and humans. In Fortnite they are more or less full fledged Gods like Cerberus but some like Hope are considered "mortals".
• Immortals: In the case of the Pantheon, this refers to beings that do not age and cannot be killed. This applies to Gods, Daimons, and certain mortals who have become immortal, but without reaching godhood. Immortality isn't absolute however and can be destroyed as it happened to Zeus. Some Daimons like Hope don't have immortality, although it is suggested (but not confirmed) that Hope had previous lives and therefore can be reincarnated, as she is tied to Pandora's Box "By fate. By the cycles of time and destiny eternal".
• Demigods: Part-human and part-divine offspring of a deity and a human. They are however still mortals.
• Heroes: The heroes are a loosely defined class of often venerated mortals. The most familiar Greek heroes are from the lineage of The Pantheon and some are even demigods like Perseus and/or were granted godhood. However not all of them are from The Pantheon's lineage, like The Looper whose origins are unknown.

Chapter 4: Season 4

• Hades locked up Greek King Midas in a cell underneath his Throne Room after his death by the hands of Kado Thorne

The Big Bang

• The Titan, Pandora's Box, abandoned pantheon buildings and ancient relics were pulled into the newly formed Helios Island.

Chapter 5: Season 1

• Pandora's Box and the Titan's Hand was forcefully summoned by Valeria. The Box's chains are broken, and the souls of The Underworld are unleashed upon the Island.
• The Titan's hand falls to the ground, becoming dormant once more.
• The Mosaic was unveiled by the combined forces of The Looper and Odyssey.

Chapter 5: Season 2

• After closing Pandora's Box and relocating Mount Olympus and The Underworld to Helios Island, Zeus announces his plan to put an end to mankind, with most people believing it was because he had enough with mortalkinds hubris and that The Society pushed him over the edge. This causes huge concern among some of the other gods and beings, including Aphrodite, Artemis, Poseidon, Apollo, Medusa and Perseus.
• The Oracle reads The Looper's fate, and reveal to them that they must prove to Zeus and the Guardians of Olympus that mortals are worthy of life before the skies turn black.
• With the advent of The Looper as chosen Hero of mortalkind after they managed to complete The Oracle's trials as well as defeating both Cerberus and Ares in battle and taking the War God's medallion, both Zeus and The Looper started to gather allies among the Immortals. Poseidon helps The Looper recruit Aphrodite, with Medusa, Perseus, Artemis and Apollo showing their support for The Looper's cause soon after. Apollo states he knows that Zeus' fall is destined to happen by the hand of a mortal. Meanwhile, Hades, Ares and Cerberus seems to side with Zeus.
• Greek King Midas escapes Hades' confinement, a rare occasion for shades.
• While initially afraid of the gods and unsure what to do, Zeus's way to reign and his wrath against mortals causes Hope, a mortal that some gods are intrigued by, to restore The Underground to face Zeus and stop the abuse of power from him as well as anybody else.
• The spirits of the Underworld grow restless, seemingly from a combination of Pandora's Box, Charon's retirement, and Hades' lack of rulership in favor of battling.
• The Looper challenged Zeus' reign with help from The Oracle and Medusa. They first eliminated his immortality by destroying his hourglasses which caused his Stormforged Hourglass to weaken. Then they damaged the Stormforged Hourglass before fighting the god with his own power recovered from the previously destroyed hourglasses and placed in a charm Medusa created for them. After a fierce battle The Looper managed to defeat Zeus, but spared his life. Their efforts stopped Zeus' reign for a new Olympus of freedom symbolized by The Underground's symbol tagged on Zeus' former throne by Hope. With Zeus dethroned and humanity saved, The Oracle warns The Looper once more of their fate with the Darkened Skies and Choking dusts, with war and The Wanderer approaching, stating that hope will lead The Looper through the darkness. Revealing that in truth, Zeus had nothing to do with that prophecy all along, and they need to be prepared.
• However, leaving Zeus alive proved to be a mistake, despite being a mortal that should fear the former King of the gods, Triage Trooper came to aid Zeus with his injuries. Later, in his madness Zeus used his remaining powers to plot his revenge, so Mount Olympus' statue slowly became active and later raised its sword to strike the top of Pandora's Box with lightning a first time, causing earthquakes as well as overloading the box with energy as it continues to dispel sparks from the lightning strikes. The process repeats itself a second time, but this time with white tinted lightnings. Then Zeus charged the statue with power and anger, with his lightnings becoming red. The third and final lightning strike struck Pandora's Box once more, causing it to overload completely and unleash a blast of energy into the ocean. The box itself then sank beneath the waves. The unleashed energy triggered a massive explosion, sending forth a sandstorm tinged with an ominous red hue that darkened the skies over the Island. This fulfilled the Oracle's prophecy, and danger now looms over everyone while Olympus and the Island prepare themselves for the impending disaster.

Chapter 5: Season 3

• After the humiliation of Zeus, most of the gods fled to find new domains and now follow their own path. Artemis, starting to love the loud nature of mortals and the Sandstorm's chaos that approached them, decides to stay on the Island. She informs Hope of the god's departure so that it is not unexpected. Additonally, Hades asked Cerberus to stay at Grim Gate to wait for the Queen. Once her vacation was over, and the spring season had been overseen, Persephone returned to The Underworld to rule once more, seemingly cheering Hope on in her path of saving the Island. Once all four of the gems that Hope had been searching for had been assembled, The Oracle returned to the Island to guide Hope through what comes next after her destiny set by The Fates had been altered by The Wanderer's presence.

Chapter 5: Season 4

• With Megalo Don's plans having failed, the remaining members of the pantheon abandon the Island in search of a new domain to reign over, all except Artemis. With Zeus humbled, but Doom threatening the denizens of this Island, she couldn't leave them to suffer. She cheers Hope on her journey with The Oracle as she explains to The Looper how the families of The Society are descendants of the members of the pantheon.
• Hades' Underworld had began to crumble at the abandonment of its gods. It was overtaken by Mephisto's new reign after the defeat of Doom by Hope. Ares' Battleground, The Amphitheater and Mount Olympus were affected by Stark's damaged rift beacons, of which summoned Ultima Carver, the bringer of all the pumpkins to our reality, and he chose Brawler's Battleground as his base domain.
  • One of Restored Reels' new films was inspired by Hades, dubbed "Houndz of Hades".

Differences with Greek mythology

• Although based on Mythology, and these Myths do indeed exist in the lore of the game. Medusa, Perseus and Midas states that myths are mostly inaccurate or completely wrong.
• Unlike Greek mythology, the twelve Olympians don't exist. Instead, they are replaced by the "guardians of Olympus".
  • The known guardians of Olympus are Hades, Poseidon, Ares, Artemis, Apollo, Aphrodite and Hephaestus.
• Several characters who aren't part of The Pantheon ended to play the role of a God, Demigod or important figure from Greek Mythology.
  • The Looper, a mortal seemingly unrelated to the gods, played the role of the unborn son of Zeus and Metis, fated to dethrone Zeus.
  • Hope, while first stated to be a simple mortal, was later confirmed the daimon of Hope (Elpis) and from the linage of The Pantheon. She is the same Hope that was meant to remain deep inside Pandora's Box.
  • Valeria played the role of Pandora, by opening Pandora's Box, dooming the Island. She is also from the linage of The Pantheon.
  • The Wanderer alias Doom from Reality: 616 plays the role of Moros, the daimon of Doom, the fated death of men, by becoming Hope's nemesis. It happened because he stole the power of Pandora's box, sealing his fate with Hope's and dooming the Island.
• Pandora's Box is endowed with a will of its own, and all gods including Zeus want to keep it closed.

Trivia

• While most of the gods left the Island, some being banished and other just to find new horizons after the fall of Zeus, Pandora's Box remains as a threat under the reign of Doom.
  • The Gods are still out there in the omniverse searching for new Domains.
• Despite being gods and therefore immortals, Etheria mentions that like any powerful being, they can be breakable with the right tools.
  • She also mentions the existence of greater powers than gods.
• Certain gods of The Pantheon possess a resemblance to existing characters, without being the same person as them.
  • This is the case of Poseidon with Rippley, Harpy Haze with Haze as well as Charon with Oro.
    • The Greek Titan Atlas has a statue at Mount Olympus, depicting him in the form of Meowscles.
• Symbols and emblems of the pantheon are usually represented by laurel wreath like shapes.
• Chapter 5: Season 2 events, in which The Looper gathered allies among the immortals and faced Zeus are called The Odyssey.
  • It's very different and should not be confused with the ancient Greek epic poems attributed to Homer of the same name, following the story of the Greek Hero Odysseus.
