GREEK MYTHOLOGY IN THE PERCY JACKSON SERIES BY RICK RIORDAN
Abstract
This article examines the depiction of characters in the Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan, with a focus on both gender and Greek mythology. The analyses aim to find out how Riordan portrays his characters regarding gender stereotypes, and how he has adapted Greek mythological figures to fit into a narrative in the 21st century. It has been identified how The Percy Jackson books take place in a world where Greek mythology is real. By using gender theory and discussing women’s role in Ancient Greek society, the analyses and discussion can provide a broader view of the representation shown in Riordan’s books.
