Elena, daughter of Zeus, King of Olympus, concealed her identity from childhood to avoid being targeted. Her appointed guardian Kane abandoned her at their wedding and proposed to Stella, a maid who had stolen Elena’s identity and pretended to be Zeus’ daughter.
Humiliated, Elena chose to marry Damon instead. He had loved her in secret for years, and was rumored to be an “illegitimate son” picked up from the mortal world by Hades, Lord of the Underworld.
