Read this one to my boyfriend over the summer of 2024. Actually I'm writing this while I can hear his snoring through the phone. It's really cute xo

It told the myths in a very simple, easy to understand way and still had the charm of an informal narrator(percy)

i learned so much of greek mytologhy reading this, it was really entretaining. Also, i missed Percy so much, he is so funny

AGH i hate Uranus he was so annoying. Im glad he was killed, i mean wtf he was throwing his children to tartarus. I like how Percy describes every titan/ness.

Poor Rea, its so unfair. I hate Kronos, wtf dude you ate your children?. Agh i just feel so sorry for Rea, she is so good and he is a cannibal. She feels miserable, but her mom gives her an idea, and she lefts Zeus in an island with some dancing warriors lmao.

Zeus grows up, he gives nectar with something to Kronos, and he throws up his children. I like the godess, im mad they didnt get weapons from the cyclopes, or werent given any part of the earth.

Hestia, i really like her, she is kind and unproblematic. i hate that she had to deal with Priapo, she tries to abuse her. Maybe she let us humans have fire <33, talking about that, poor Prometeus, an eagle eats his liver every single day, wtf.

Demeter, i also like her. I feel really bad for her, i mean, Zeus and Poseidon r*ped her, then she falls in love, and Zeus kills the guy, wtf. I have to say, she is a badass, she curses a guy that was going to cut trees.

i like Hades, but hes to creepy, he was OBSESSED with Persephone, and agh i hate that he goes with Zeus, and he lets him be with her, wtf its not your choice. THEN ZEUS SUGGEST HE KIDNAPPS HER, WTF. Poor Demeter, i like the queen, she was so kind, i feel bad for her, how would u feel if you saw your kid in fire.

Ok, i get that Hades did HORRIBLE things, but i think he is one of the best god husbands, he is kind and he is in love <333, and Persephone also likes him. I feel bad for her, she realizes she is not going to get rescued. agh she ate the fruit, i dont blame her, i would have eaten the first day lol. Well, im glad she is happy

Yk i like Hera, she just wanted to be happy, but stupid Zeus tricked her AGH. Omg the hero who tried to kiss her, wtf. AGH I HATE THAT SHE GETS REVENGE ON THE GIRLS ZEUS CHEATED WITH AND NOT ZEUS, WTFFF thats the only thing i dont like from her

I like how Hades changed the underworld, and how they explain every part of it. omfg wtf Tantalus COOKED HIS CHILD, AND THEY GAVE HIM TO THE GODS, WTF? He deserves that punishment. And Sisyphus omg he cheated death twice, wtf. OMFG I TOUGHT HADES WAS A GOOD HUSBAND, but he kidnapped a girl and turned her into a tree, and then he kissed a nymph. I mean, he want as bad as hus brothers

Its so funny that we can clearly notice Poseidon is Percy father lmao. Agh Poseidon is such a bad loser, i cant. Poor Amphitrite, she just wanted to be happy and safe, at least she got a happy ending, she married and has children, also she is kind with the demigods, she knows it isnt their fault, i love her <3. Poor Medusa, i like Athenea but doing that was wrong, she was being r*ped. Try to overthrow Zeus, but he gets frees, shit, he puishes Poseidon, Apollo and Hera.

WTF Zeus kills so many people, he wanted to kill every person. agh i dont even want to mention how sick he is, he r*ped so many women. omg Typhon almost destroys everything, shit.

Zeus ate Tetis, and Athena was born from his BRAIN, WTF IS THIS, WHAT DID THE GREEKS TAKE. She goes to Africa, and has a "intimate friend", but she accidently kills her because Zeus tought they were seriously fighting, she suffers so much her loss, she makes a statue in her honor <3. omg Arachne, i feel bad for her but she made A LOT of bad choices, its really sad how everyone turned on her at the end, she even tried to k*ll herself, she didnt deserve to be turned in a spider. OMG a man saw Athena naked and she blinded him, but when she realizes he didnt want to see her, she give shim a gift <33, i like her most of the time. Then agh Hephaestus follows her, and idk how a baby is born from a piece of wool, wtf.

Aphrodite, i like her, i think she didnt deserve to be married with Hephaestus, she should be able to choosw who she wants to marry, also im so mad that the godesses hate her just because she is pretty. agh im also mad she helped create Pandora, wtf. Also, what she did to Myrrha, wtf, its sick. The she and Perspephone fights for who gets to be with her son, when they are like his mothers, wtf.

Ares, i kinda like him, but he did some bad things, he transformed his daughter into a snake, wtf. I do like that he defended his daughter and killed a god because he tried to r*pe her. Im glad he won the trial, that guy deserved to be killed. He is kidnapped, and no one does anything wtf, only Hermes helps him.

Hephaestus, i feel bad for him. Im glad he got revenge with Hera, but then he saves her when Zeus ties her. So, im kinda mad about how he behaved about Aphrodite and Ares, im not saying cheating is good, but Aphrodite never wanted to marry him, he could said something but he didnt care, agh. Im glad they "divorced", but agh Hephaestus just get over it, she moved on, do it you too

Apollo, poor of his mother, fucking Hera, she didnt deserve that. I like that Apollo got revenge for her mom, he and Artemis are really protective of her <333, it was kinda weird when they killed children but whatever ig. OMG wtf, he kills a Satire, and rips off his skin i-. Im so sorry for Daphne she did not deserve that

I love Artemis, she is such and icon. It is weird how she kills people but its okay. Its also weird how she "chagend sex", like u cant just choose that. omg poor girl, Zeus took Artemis form and kissed her, wtf he is sick, and she gets transformed into a bear i cant believe this. Poor Artemis, his friend died because of a fight with his father that Aphordite made, aghh its so unfair

Hermes, i like him, hes really funny but wtf did he do to that turtle i cant. It really fun to see the conversations between him and Apollo lmao. Poor girl that Zeus turned into a cow, she did not deserve that, also poor old man that said the truth to Apollo.

Dionysus, omg they were raising him like a girl. Hera finds out and kills all of his adoptive family wtf. Then a friend dies because he wanted grapes, how many bad things happen to him. Then he tries to show it to the world and a king punishes his followers, wtf. He goes to the king and makes him kill his son, i-. Pirates capture him, he beats them and meets Ariadne, he marries her and they live happy <3333.

Listened to this as an audiobook. Was a life saver. I listened to this during those 3 hours art classes(the ones where i had to draw neked people -_-) and during my early morning bike rides to work...like I had to work at 7:30am so early

Percy's take on the stories of the greek gods was hilarious! It's probably what kept me from failing my Mythology class. I love greek and roman mythology but my teacher is so dull
