The first Theros block a few years back delved deep into Greco-Roman influences, and this follow-up set continued the trend. All told, the pack wasn't spectacular, but it wasn't bad, either.

Underworld Breach looks like an incredibly useful card. Red decks often toss a lot into the graveyard one way or another, so having a way to bring stuff back is nice. Too bad it must be sacrificed after the one turn, though. Still, it's currently a $3 rare.

The uncommon are all pretty basic utility cards for the appropriate decks. Alirios, Enraptured is odd, but two bodies for the price of one looks useful, and it is definitely thematic in its reference to Narcissus.

Nessian Wanderer helps ensure land cards are in your hand in a deck with enchantments. It also pairs well with Siona, Captain of the Pyleas. It's not the best combo by any means, but they can fit into a deck with lots of similar synergies.

Portent of Betrayal is one of my favorite cards. It's not especially good until it is. Karametra's Blessing and Starlit Mantle are possible answers to it, though. The rest of these commons are also good in various decks. Since I like singleton, pauper, and peasant games, they all have potential.
