About this deal

It was also really educational, and the humour just made it fun to learn. Obviously it's a middle grade series, so Riordan uses a lot of modern references to keep the intended audience interested, such as saying that the Greek Gods probably spend a lot of time Googling themselves, and Who are the other four mentioned in the prophecy? The answer may lie in another camp miles away, where a new camper has shown up and appears to be the son of Neptune, god of the sea…

As Eros was still recovering, he told her mother what had really happened, much to Aphrodite's fury. Upon being brought in Aphrodite's palace by Hera, Aphrodite made Psyche complete several tasks if she wanted to be her son's wife or she would die. First, she had to sort out mountains grains into the correct bags before dinner time. Demeter sent ants to do it as a thank you for cleaning her temple. Next, Psyche had to fetch some wool of sheep for clothes to mend. Some reeds near a river got it for her as Hera's reward for cleaning her altar. Then, Psyche had to travel up a tall mountain to fill a pitcher of water from a sacred spring, one of the headwaters for the River Styx. Having overheard this, Eros convinced Zeus to send an eagle to get the water instead. I put the book down like three times and rather read another book than this. Heroes weren’t so interesting as Greek Gods and I had to push myself into reading. The jokes were all the same like in Greek Gods and they weren’t funny anymore. And that’s probably the reason why it didn’t work for me this time. So go read this! Even if you haven't read the Greek Gods, though I do recommend reading that first since there were some references that would be a bit difficult to understand unless you already know the myth. Psyche was born as the youngest of three daughters to the rulers of a Greek city. Since her childhood, she was an object of admiration and envy because of her extraordinary beauty. Crowds would gather in the street below to admire her as if they were celebrating the unmatched beauty of a goddess. Fearing the gods would punish them, she tried to discouraged these actions to not avail. For example: One time, Hermes shows up in a UPS uniform in front of Perseus who asks him the meaning of the symbols on his shirts.

Es muy duro superar cuando alguien a quien amas muere. Créeme, he perdido algunos buenos amigos. Y, aún así, la mayoría de nosotros aprendemos a seguir adelante. Muchos de nosotros no tenemos opción".Jason has a problem. He doesn’t remember anything before waking up on a school bus holding hands with a girl. Apparently she’s his girlfriend Piper, his best friend is a kid named Leo, and they’re all students in the Wilderness School, a boarding school for “bad kids.” What he did to end up here, Jason has no idea—except that everything seems very wrong. When she became a goddess, Psyche gained butterfly-like wings. She wears shimmering gossamer robes.

I personally loved the Greek Gods more but it's because it had more weird and intriguing stuff going on because, well, it focused on the gods. Percy's narrative was great once again, I got a good laugh of all the mentions of modern stuff thrown into the myths. Orpheus playing "Shake It Off" and the gods getting confused of the time period etc. Hilarious! I really liked Percy's mentions of his friends. Annabeth seems to be around him a lot and I'm not complaining about that!
