Little Pollon

On Mount Olympus, Polon is Apollo’s mischievous daughter, eager to prove she can become a goddess. She gets help from her small cherub companion, Eros, but her attempts to demonstrate her abilities rarely go as intended. Instead, her meddling can upset one deity or another, stirring up comic disorder that reaches both gods and humans. Polon also feels overlooked by her divine father and lends a hand with his pursuit of women, hoping that his efforts will bring her a new mother.

Blending broad comedy with magical-girl storytelling, the series finds its spark in Polon’s gap between ambition and unruly results. Olympus becomes a playful setting for clashes among deities, while Eros adds a cherubic partner to her schemes. The story’s appeal comes from watching Polon seek recognition, create chaos, and keep trying to earn a place among the gods.
