I find Greek mythology very interesting to me because it’s
so spread out because instead of one person managing everything there is twelve
‘major’ gods, and countless others some even say hundreds, some say thousands
we may never know. In this book the most influential god surprisingly is the
god of the pit Tartarus himself. Mostly due in part to the fact he tries to
kill Percy and Annabeth.
The
reason he tries to kill them is because when they retrieve the statue (spoiler
from the last book) the floor gives out and spills them into Tartarus. The
deepest and the darkest pit in the underworld where the immortals the gods
don’t like and the monsters, are sent when they die. Although the monsters get
reborn they are not able to escape. It’s sort of like a Fort Knox for the gods
denying anybody who attempts to get out.

Hedge the satyr assigned to the quest, and his wife (spoiler) Mellie the wind
nymph, are having a baby and she is at Camp Half-blood which is about to be
attacked by the Romans and possibly getting her killed. While he is halfway
across the world and unable to help what will he do? While I love reading
science books I found this very interesting because of the different
perspectives.
