Athena, being the goddess of wisdom, might analyze the fanfiction. She could look at how the mortal writers understand the Greek mythology and use it to create new stories. She might be impressed by the intelligence and creativity of some of the fanfictions, or she might be critical of inaccuracies.
Yes, they are. The Percy Jackson series weaves in Greek mythology in a really engaging way. It makes the ancient Greek gods and their stories accessible and exciting for modern readers, especially young ones. The adventures of Percy and his friends are full of action, humor, and interesting twists that keep you hooked.
In the Percy Jackson series, the Greek gods are central. Percy is a demigod, son of a Greek god. The giants are ancient enemies of the gods. In the books, Percy and his friends often face challenges related to the gods' feuds and the resurgence of the giants. The story weaves together Percy's adventures with the mythology of the Greek gods and the threat of the giants.
Well, some past gods might be amused. They'd see these modern interpretations of their stories and characters in the Percy Jackson fanfiction as a strange yet interesting new form of worship or at least attention. For example, Zeus might be a bit irked at some of the liberties taken with his character, but also secretly flattered that people are still so interested in him.
One popular fanfic could be 'The Gods' Book Club' where the gods get together to discuss the book. They might argue about how they are portrayed in it.
Some gods might be offended. If the fanfiction distorts their image or shows them in a negative light, they could be angry. For example, Zeus might not like being depicted as a bumbling fool. However, others like Hermes might find it hilarious and enjoy the creativity of the fans.
Most of the gods would be confused at first. Hera might see it as an opportunity to manipulate the situation for her own ends. She could try to use Percy's new connection to Ares to create more chaos or to further her own plans. Poseidon would be very conflicted. On one hand, he has a connection to Percy as his son, but now Percy has this new link to Ares which could put Poseidon in a difficult position among the other gods.
One idea could be a story where Percy has to team up with a minor Greek god, like Hypnos, to defeat a new threat that's causing nightmares across the demigod world. Another could be a fanfic exploring what would happen if Percy was sent back in time to the age of the original Greek heroes and had to prove himself among them.
They might be amused. After all, the fanfiction often portrays them in new and sometimes comical ways. They could find it interesting to see how modern humans imagine their lives and personalities.
