I'd seen it with both...

yeah I guess haha oh well maybe it is both ways.

Right...

Haha oh well maybe I will take a class on Greek Mythology.

It's not necessary... but well...

They names of mtyhological figures often recieve differnt spelling because of the translations.

It's just the standard combination of English and Latin we've come to know and love.

The letter k kind-of existed in Greek, but the Romans did not have it. So, Kronos becomes Cronus/os. Depends on how Roman-ized it was.

Oh I see haha. Ya'll are way smarter than me. I don't know I think it has something to do with where I live hahhaha.

Well, despite the screwing about with mythology, I loved them. Still do, and the Demigod Files is also pretty good. There have been a few people speculating that there will be a second Demigod series.

Well in the acknowledgements of The Last Olympian it starts with:

As the first Camp Half-Blood series draws to a close,

So yes I think there could be another series on the rise.

I think there would be another series, and I want another one, too.

Gah! I love these books (even though i've only read the first one). I can't wait to see the movie for the Lightning Thief

I'm addicted to the Percy Jackson series....

Rick Riordan did mess up a lot of the Greek myths, but he mostly got them right. I've been reading the greek myths since I was in 2nd grade, so it does annoy me when the Roman and the Greek gods get mixed up.

If you really want to get into the real Greek myths and such, a fairly good book to start with (well, this is what I read when I was in 5th grade, but it was a little too hard for me in 2nd) is the Edith Hamilton book. She goes into a lot of detail about all of the Greek legends, and it's a good reference.

I hope another Olympian series come out. The first was just too good.

May I suggest a Classical Dictionary such as Meridian or Caselles? Hamilton's book is still very censored, she writes carefully to avoid offending readers. Her House of Atreus was pretty much half told.

My cousin gave me that book and they use that book to teach greek mythology in English 1 Honors in my highschool.

And ya, I love the books.

Also, it's a big no-no for Athena to have children. I don't care if Annabeth is some super mind-meld child, Athena's a virgin in mythology -- she doesn't want kids.

That annoyed me too. She was a virgin goddess yet she had a cabin-load of kids. Incredible.
