Oh The Lightning Thief, I was hooked on you, adored you, really. Referring to the Furies as the Kindly Ones (that's a very obscure reference, yay Aeschylus!), satyrs as prominent characters, grumpy exiled Dionysus, sweet premise....really, really ♥ed you....but then you had to go and jack off to the whole "Western Civilization" thing. Uh....TOTALLY ANACHRONISTIC AND WHAT THE HELL? NO THE GREEKS ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR CIVILIZATION AS WE KNOW IT. THEY WERE WEIRD ASS MOTHERFUCKERS AND THE WORLD WE LIVE IN HAS LITTLE TO DO WITH THE WORLD THEY LIVED IN /end rant....which leads me to believe that maybe Rick Riordan is an English major with a classics background and might not have as sound of a history background as I had originally hoped.
