Other Aspects of Greek Gods
According to myth, the Gods do not have blood instead they have Ichor which is a fluid for Gods and other immortals. It's toxic to humans, and contact kills them instantly upon contact. It retains the qualities of the drink and food of the Gods, nectar and ambrosia. Talos guarded Europa on Crete and threw boulders at intruders until Argonauts came after the acquisition of the Golden Fleece, and the sorceress Medea took out the nail, releasing Talos' ichor and killing him.
