...plot is more a framework in which their punny sex jokes can operate, and the formula works well for them. The show recreates the story of the first Olympics in a town faced with a devastating olive oil crisis and the impending destruction of the Hp (Ate-a-pi) frat house. The ragtag group of townspeople receive the aid of Hugh, who is sent by his rhyme-loving father, Dr. Zeus (Walter B. Klyce ’10), to help the town and earn for himself full divinity. Hugh’s uncle, King of the Underworld and Lord...
...Greece, and it’s about the first Olympics ever. There’s a demigod named Hugh Bris who has to win an athletic competition in order to become a full God.

Here's Kyle's frat brother Joey, a putative good guy and our second male lead, thinking back on his memories of that night with his frat brothers: "If a girl consents to sex," he wonders, "can she change her mind once things are underway?
