Percy Jackson and The Olympians Soalan

Is this series accurate?

Does it actually seem like true representations of figures from Greek myth? atau do people who have read these buku never read anything remotely mythical besides those?
I'd like to know before i start reading.

Percy Jackson and The Olympians Jawapan

LaughingHyena said:
I first started Membaca Percy Jackson because I am a bit of a mythology peminat myself, and so I decided to try it. The accuracy is a large part of the storyline; the names of the gods and goddesses are correct and their powers and patrons are the same. However, the books, being humorous, represent the gods in different ways and give them human personalities (for eg. Zeus is depicted in a suit, Poseidon in a Hawaiian baju and shorts, Dionysus drinking Diet Coke XD). So in a way, the figures from Greek myth are kind of the same in terms of their place in mythology, but viewed in a lebih humorous, satirical take on the original myths. I thought they were good books, though I personally wouldn't recommend the Heroes of Olympus ones afterwards, the storyline gets a bit too cheesy and unrealistic sejak then....

I'll keep that in mind. One thing that i already have a problem with is that one character is a daughter of Athena. She's a virgin goddess. It's just as ridiculous as giving Artemis atau Hestia a child.

Yeah that is pretty dumb alright, I can't remember what the reason was for her having a child in the buku atau even if there was one...basically the buku aim mostly to entertain rather than educate, but the mythology is reasonably accurate to an extent. Admittedly there are some cliches (just how many buku are there about teenagers fulfilling prophecies and saving the world these days??) and at some parts it is a little cheesy, but the humour drowns out a lot of this and keseluruhan I would reccomend it as a funny and entertaining series.

Athena's children are born from her thoughts , silly.

But she's supposed to be a virgin. She's not supposed to have any kids, from her thoughts atau otherwise.

Growing up, I never really heard of any of the Greek gods, except Zeus and Athena. The main gods I had ever known about was Anubis (Egyptian), and Neptune (Roman). When I got older I began learning about the Greek gods. I'd read a lot of things and even did a project about them before I'd read the Percy Jackson books.

But to me, the buku make things lebih kid-friendly and lighter, if anda know what I mean. Greek myths are weird, and it gets some things wrong, but yes - I would say the buku are lighter, especially in terms of the gods' personalities. I could see the arrogance, but not the lightness. Like Apollo and his obsession with rhymes atau haikus? It's been a while since I read them. Generally speaking I do like the myths themselves better . . . they aren't "watered down" atau very "friendly". =/

I read the first book, but than decided they weren't for me. They are definitely for kids.

The series is mostly acurate Rick Riordan does change a few little things like the god's looks, atau adds things like Zoë nightshade isn't really Atlas's daughter, but other than that everything is true, the stories, the gods, the whole story is accurate once anda get past the few things not accurae, and besides I study Greek mythology outside of the books, just to make shure its accurate look it up online, it will help alot. :)
