This tv show contains 34 potentially triggering events.
Um... A centaur dies, not exactly during the episode but we learn of his recent death early in the episode. So I guess he wouldn't be classified as human, though I certainly wouldn't call him an animal. He's a bit of both and also neither.
Twice, same child. Once in a flashback and once in current time. The child is left with people who will love and protect him. The parent believes that this is best for the child.
Lots of stabbing and cutting with swords and knives. A bit of it in battle, more of it in the hospital that they spend most of the episode in. They don't exactly have scalpels or other modern tools to work with.
A major character teeters on the brink of life and death. Probably they are technically clinically dead for a couple mins, but then they start breathing again.
Yes, very much so. The people of the village in this episode follow a new god, a single god (not the usual Greek gods) and that god has told them to do various things, seemingly including having the village leader sacrifice his youngest son on the altar.
