i'm reaching a LOT here because olympus is a main story chapter and requiem is a collab event, but let me add that their release dates are a bit brilliant. same energy as releasing yuga kshetra- some deicide kinda thing and limited event gudaguda 4 with oda "heathenism is a personality trait in this game" nobunaga thing they did last year.
so, space and sea exploration are two sides of the same coin. two very dark places where human hands reach into with curiosity and developing technology for the sake of science and discovery. as above, so below and all that jazz. zeus and voyager could be interpreted as foils of each other. here goes...
the divine vs human. stagnation of authoritative gods vs innovation of scientific progress. olympus being a futuristic, utopian metropolis but hinges upon a very outdated paradigm of hollow earth theory located deep below the ocean vs. voyager made by the latest (at that time) technology alone floating in space- above and below. the stars and skies being explained by myth and stories vs. the stars and skies being systematically explored using cutting-edge tools and better equipment.
zeus as space and cosmos coming down to earth for survival to take the form of humans vs. voyager as a mere man-made objects sent up and up beyond the sky, entrusted to outlast humanity, and metamorphose as something human. the old world of divinity represented by a thunderous old god vs. humanity's love letter to the sea of stars being an innocent child.
