Would this be disrespectful?

Discussion

So I love creating media, be it videos, stories, art, etc.

I also love analog horror, and wanted to try creating my own, but I wanted to try including the mythical versions of the gods in the story

It would reference the myths and show the actual horror of some of the things that happened, like being gored by boars, the birth of the Minotaur, being ripped apart limb from limb, etc.

One myth I particularly wanted to try portraying was Kronos eating his children

These, I don't think would be disrespectful, as it's just the portrayal of the myths in media, which has always been a thing

However, if I chose to take a different route, where the gods/ a god is targeting a mortal character, or maybe humans in general, would that be disrespectful?

Another idea I'm considering is Kronos and the titans escaping Tartarus and trying to take back power from the Olympians, or maybe trying to take power over the earth this time while the Olympians try to send them back to Tartarus and protect the humans

I know media about the gods has always been a thing, but I'm wondering if maybe it's different for Helpols, if maybe we're expected not to do certain things or portray the gods in a certain light?
