The Unofficial Heroes of Olympus Companion: Gods, Monsters, Myths and What's in Store for Jason, Piper and Leo

“A useful and entertaining guide . . . can be enjoyed by any reader with an interest in mythology, whether they have read The Heroes of Olympus or not.” —Blogcritics

In the ancient world, the gods and their heroic half-blood children were legendary. Now in the modern world, they regain their glory in the pages of Rick Riordan’s captivating novels. Providing everything you’ll need to become a Hero of Olympus, the book looks back at the stories of Percy Jackson while exploring how Riordan hints at but keeps readers guessing what’s in store for Jason, Piper and Leo.

In this handy companion, the Olympic gods are fully detailed, from origin and family relationships to famous tales and an expressive illustration, including:

Zeus • Hera • Poseidon • Athena • Apollo • Aphrodite

The vast array of other gods and fantastical creatures are also cataloged:Atlas • —who literally carries the weight of the world on his shoulders Kronos • —a Titan who swallows his newborn children Persephone • —a kidnapped goddess who becomes queen of the Underworld Minotaur • —a half-bull, half-man imprisoned in a labyrinth Hydra • —a poisonous serpent who grows two heads when one is severed Sirens • —deadly nymphs whose irresistibly beautiful singing lures sailors to their doom
