What is so fascinating about Greek Mythology? That’s the question most Percy Jackson fans face having to answer when talking about these lovely novels. Percy Jackson was my first experience with Mythology in general and I remember being fascinated by not only the stories of the Greek Gods themselves but also each ones distinct personality and attitude.
Each God represents something completely different from Poseidon God of the sea to Athena Goddess of wisdom there’s a different type of god for every fan out there which might be one of the most appealing parts of Mythology in general. There is so many gods that are relatable to the masses in one way or another. Whether you’re into the almighty powerful Zeus or the beautiful Aphrodite each one brings something different to the table. My personal favorite God is Hades God of the Underworld (conveniently located under Los Angeles if you’ve read the Percy Jackson books) I love his general stubbornness at the situation he’s in and I love how in the Percy Jackson books he’s portrayed as cynical and sarcastic which to me makes him funny and a pleasure to read about!
There’s so much that makes Greek Mythology interesting that no one answer could sum it all up. Whether it’s a character you love or a myth you love to read over and over there is one thing that is for sure Greek Mythology is vast and never ending from the stories to the characters and the challenges they face. Though if you were to ask me I’d say Greek Mythology is fascinating simply because it can be anything you want it to be and interpreted in many ways from Legends to stories like in the Percy Jackson novels!
