On page 299 and 300 of Hero, you will find vampires, and the design principles that you should use to guide you in making your own flavor of undead critter....

Yeah, what Maitrecorbo and Stray have said regarding Liminal. It's helpful to look at things this way: a Calling is what a god does, a Purview is what a god has control over. Hel has the Liminal calling because she lives, and exists, apart from the mainstream structure of her pantheon; she has the Death Purview because she's a goddess of death. Consider instead Osiris, who has dominion over Death but not the Liminal calling, because he exists within the structure of his own pantheon.

It is true that certain callings tend towards certain purviews. It's hard to be an Healer with no...

I'm pretty sure that you shouldn't stap up antagonists the way you would a PC... It's a lot more work that isn't really going to improve your game. There's a couple of Scion Antagonists example starting at page 297 of Hero - one of Divus Iulius and one of Anansi - that would be a good starting point.
In fact, checking that right now, there's a whole section on handling exactly that!...

According to Theoi.com, Zeus went as far as swallowing Metis whole to stop her from giving birth to someone who would overthrow him (like father like son, I guess) and that's how Athena came to be in his body before coming out of his head.

This is an extremely useful thread, in potentia, and I'm going to keep an eye on it.

I feel like saying that "a big part of Scion is the Titanomachy" is... just straight up wrong? I've been in three games now and GMed in one and pretty much never touched the Titanomachy. Arguably a Titan appeared in the one I GMed (King Ravana of Lanka) but there wasn't talk of an all out war... that being said, I have to give you credit, not all the authors seem to have decided whether or not the Titanomachy is important, I can understand the confusion.

Moving on to the role of the Theros, I would not personally use them, but I like the idea of them being the "fish...

If there is an option to get Dragon but not Masks, I'm for sure going for that one. I feel like the mythos are a thematic mismatch for what Scion is going for.
"Oh no, my gods are either indifferent towards me or actively want to eat me!"
"Sounds rough, buddy. Anyway, check out how well my crops are growing! Thor must me fucking stoked woth me, you have NO idea."

Honestly, transforming oneself or others into an animal is such a common theme in myth that they shouldn't have made it the Theoi-only PSP in the first place.
