Rick Riordon draws readers into a suspenseful world where two timelines collide to create epic battles and myths come to life. The Percy Jackson book series brings Greek mythology to life in a modern context, showcasing how ancient legends can still resonate with today's readers. Rick Riordan seamlessly weaves these myths into the fabric of the modern world, from Mount Olympus being located above the Empire State Building to Medusa working at a roadside sculpture garden. By doing so, Riordan sparks curiosity in readers about Greek mythology, inviting them to explore and learn more about the rich tapestry of ancient stories that continue to influence our culture and imagination.
