1* CreatorsFavoriteEpisode: Kate [=McMullan=] has [[http://connect.capstonepub.com/2011/10/win-an-autographed-copy-of-myth-o-mania-.html called]] ''Phone Home, Persephone!'' her favorite ''Myth-O-Mania'' book, at least among the first eight.
2* CutSong: In the Hyperion version of ''Nice Shot, Cupid!'', Hades recalls during the epilogue that Cupid and Psyche sang "I Got You, Babe" at their wedding, and that the "mortal" version from Music/SonnyAndCher[[note]]neither of whom Hades actually name-dropped[[/note]] couldn't compare. The Stone Arch version of the book omits this reference.
3* DevelopmentHell: Among the three books Hades teased at the end of ''Go For the Gold, Atalanta!'', the one about Jason and the Argonauts still currently remains unfinished. The other two, recounting the events of the Trojan War and ''The Odyssey'', were SavedFromDevelopmentHell 10-11 years after the release of Atalanta's book. In-universe, reasons given for the delay of the Jason volume include [[RealitySubtext Hades' publisher prioritizing other books over]] ''[[RealitySubtext Myth-O-Mania]]''[[note]]also the reason given for the delay of the Helen of Troy and Odysseus novels[[/note]], Cassandra warning Hades that it would make a poor-selling follow-up to ''Hit the Road, Helen!'', and Hades wanting a break from seafaring accounts after ''Get Lost, Odysseus!''
4* FollowTheLeader: [[http://sagharboronline.com/go-greek-author-kate-mcmullan-takes-on-mtyhology/ Reportedly]], Stone Arch Books reprinted and {{uncancelled}} ''Myth-O-Mania'' to ride off the success of ''Literature/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians'', which also put a new spin on Myth/ClassicalMythology.
5* TechnologyMarchesOn: Hades expresses amazement at Persephone's small, cordless cell phone (to the extent that he later buys one himself), even though its brass structure and visible antenna make it sound more primitive than a smartphone. Either way, it still seems anachronistic for a story about ancient Greek gods.
