5[[WMG:After the series, Percy Jackson wakes up to find that it was AllJustADream...]]
6...only to find a [[OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame dwarf]] on his doorstep. "Come with me, Percy Jackson," the dwarf says. "[[Myth/NorseMythology Odin]] would like to have a word with you."
7* Probably {{Jossed}} - another series, dealing with Myth/NorseMythology and in the same overall setting, is in the works, so we're more likely to see the Greek and Norse gods (and Egyptians) deal with one another.
8
9[[WMG:The Oracle is Chaos]]
10No, not ''[[Franchise/SailorMoon that]]'' Chaos, nor ''[[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 that one]]'', nor ''[[WesternAnimation/{{AladdinTheSeries}} that one]]'', or even ''[[VideoGame/SonicAdventure that one]]''! But the primordial Greek Deity that existed long before even Gaia and Uranus. The spirit of the oracle is all that is left of her, and she is playing a millenia-long GambitRoulette to regain her power from the Gods.
11* I think you forgot [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyI two more]] [[VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy Chaoses.]] Does it seem like Chaos gets used a lot for villainous characters, or am i just paranoid?
12** Did someone mention [[Characters/FriendshipIsMagicMajorVillains Chaos]]?
13* Doesn't the source mythology inherently {{Joss}} this?
14** Yes, I'm pretty sure that Apollo was supposed to be the source of the Oracle's powers.
15*** It is sort of implied that the Oracle is Python, the dragon Apollo killed in order to create the Oracle. Still, the WMG is plausible as well.
16
17[[WMG:There will be one grand crossover with all Cosmologies]]
18With Riordan planning to write a series about Myth/EgyptianMythology, there may be a final book that has the gods from many cosmologies getting together to fight...something big. Maybe Aliens.
19** Definitely true, since ''Literature/TheKaneChronicles'' references Percy Jackson a lot.
20** Maybe they'll fight ''each other''.
21** Right now, Gaia has been awakened and is all gearing up to get her vengeance on. In the Kane chronicles Sadie brings a message between Nut and Geb, the divinely separated gods of the earth and sky. That and, you know, [[OhCrap very likely aspects of]] [[DidWeJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu Ouranos and Gaia respectively.]] NiceJobBreakingItHero anyone?
22** A series involving Myth/NorseMythology is confirmed.
23*** [[spoiler:The hero of the Norse Mythology series is Annabeth’s cousin.]]
24** There is a one shot where Percy Jackson meets Carter Kane.
25* The crossover series will bring in several myths from other cultures in addition to blending Greek, Egyptian, and Norse mythology. A few possibilities:
26** Coyote, who will end up on the heroes' side. He and Hermes will have a prank war of literally deific proportions.
27** Literature/BabaYaga. When they see her house, Sadie will say, "I REALLY hate chickens".
28* And the villains will be no less than the [[Franchise/CthulhuMythos Great Old Ones]]. And in order to make the stars right, they'll have to get rid of all the constellations the Greek gods threw up their. Unfortunately for them, that will also unleash those same heroes back into the world, from Perseus to Orion to Zoe Nightshade.
29* Alternatively, the villain is none other than the very first hero, [[Literature/TheEpicOfGilgamesh Gilgamesh]], who succeeded in attaining the herb of immortality and simply lied about it. He harbours a huge grudge against gods - ''all gods'' - for the death of Enkidu, and is driven by the need for revenge. After he wiped out the Sumerian pantheon, humanity simply dreamt up more gods to replace them and he realized that he would have to wait for humanity to be ready to live without gods and faded into the shadows. Now with scepticism and atheism on the rise he feels that the time has come, and begins setting the various pantheons against each other (re:Son of Sobek) to weaken them while he recruits a mixed army of dissenters from each pantheon, eventually revealing himself and declaring war on divinity itself.
30** This must happen!
31
32[[WMG:The series is set AfterTheEnd.]]
33The United States is referred to as, not only the core of the civilized world, but also the ''entirety'' of the civilized world. Given that this is an AlternateUniverse, it's possible that ''this is true InUniverse'' and not extreme CreatorProvincialism.
34
35At some point in the world's past, [[ApocalypseHow an apocalyptic event dropped the rest of the world into complete and utter chaos]]; the United States is the last holdout of civilization.
36* Possibly debunked by Apollo talking about going to Japan to learn Haiku, which makes it sound that other areas besides the US are not part of the civilized world (Though, who knows what a god might consider recent.)
37* Also, Canada is said to be where Lastrigonian Giants are from - and the way it's said makes it seem like there's nothing else there.
38** Doesn't Frank's family live in Canada though? And considering the person who tells Percy this has been shown to exhibit pretty much every form of FantasticRacism...
39* Debunked by the fact that in the second series, with Egyptian gods, a half-blood is living in London.
40* Also debunked by the fact that at the end of the series the satyrs have been overwhelmed with leads on new half bloods from all over the world.
41* What? No, it's referred to as the heart of western civilization. At no point do they say there is no other civilization.
42* It is stated that the "Flame" of Western Civilisation moves from country to country, and shown by the examples of Greece and Rome in HoO, once the flame has moved on these countries still exist, so that means that, alongside Greece and Rome, most of the Western world still exists
43
44* "An apocalyptic event dropped the rest of the world into complete and utter chaos". This series concerns Myth/GreekMythology. So this universe is the distant future of ''VideoGame/GodOfWar''?
45
46[[WMG:The new series will revolve around Percy and Annabeth's child.]]
47Pretty self-explanatory.
48* Jossed; the first two chapters that were put up on the web indicate Percy and Annabeth are, iirc, about nineteen at the time of the new series.
49** This is wrong. It's stated in the book that the new series takes place a year after TLO, in October.
50
51[[WMG:Percy and Annabeth will have a son and name him after Luke.]]
52Again, self-explanatory.
53* Not if Rick Riordan wants to fend off all those accusations of being a ''Literature/HarryPotter'' knockoff...
54* The son will have his memory wiped and be sent back in time to host Kronos. They named their son after their son!
55** Now we've gone from stealing Harry Potter to stealing Doctor Who! Are you TRYING to piss off the major nerd fanbases?
56
57[[WMG:The Half-Bloods' dyslexia only applies to the Latin and Cyrillic alphabets]]
58To elaborate the stated reason for their dyslexia is because their brains are hard-wired to read Ancient Greek and both the Latin and Cyrillic alphabets are derived from the Ancient Greek one. The capital forms of Alpha, Beta, Epsilon, Zeta, Eta, Iota, Kappa, Mu, Nu, Omicron, Rho, Tau, Upsilon and Chi are the same as A, B, E, Z, H, I, K, N, M, O, P, T, Y and X respectively and the capital forms of Pi and Phi crop up in Cyrillic along with several of the ones that appear in Latin. Its this similarity that causes the dyslexia since their brains are mixing up what they see and what their brains expect. If they learnt a language that was written using a completely different writing system (hanzi/kanji/hanja, kana, hangul, Arabic, Thai, Ge'ez, Devengari and so forth) there wouldn't be any confusion caused by the hard wiring and they would be able to read it as well as any one else who learns it as a second language.
59* It seems more likely to me that they would have even more difficulties with alternate writing systems, as if their brains are "hard-wired" to read Ancient Greek, they would be predisposed to think that a writing system should be an alphabet, as opposed to logographic, symbolic, syllabic, etc.
60** Originator of the original theory just trying to clarify a little. To use an analogy, its like an auto-spellchecker built in to the language centre of their brains. But when reading or writing almost any European language (apart from maybe Modern Greek) the auto-checker sees familiar characters used the wrong way and mixed with unfamiliar characters and so they get confused. Using a different writing system, be it another alphabet, logographic, phonographic or whatever means that the auto-correct function doesn't see anything familiar so it doesn't cause confusion by trying to 'correct' the mistakes and thus no dyslexia. It might even work for English (or French for any half-bloods from Quebec) by using an alternate font like Wingdings or a visual representation of braille that don't use standard letters.
61* On a similar note, Roman demigods don't have dyslexia because Latin is the base of most modern languages, including English.
62** English is a germanic language, not a romance language.
63** English is a base Germanic language with a heavy French overlay. That is, English grammar and more simple vocabulary is more Germanic, with more complex vocabulary being based of French. It's likely that the Roman demigods have less severe dyslexia than the Greeks, but that the basic "wiring" is still crossed.
64** English is three languages stacked on top of each other in a trenchcoat.
65** Roman demigods might not be dyslexic, because Greek demigods' brains are hardwired to read the Greek alphabet and work with that. But Roman demigods won't be inherently dyslexic because following that logic, their brain is hardwired to read the Latin alphabet.
66
67[[WMG:Athena's day job is as Stella from Series/{{CSINY}}]]
68* Stella has no known family except a mother who looks exactly like her, She has mixed Italian/Greek heritage but values the Greek more like a Greek goddess who was Roman for a while. They both live in New York. She seems to solve crimes for the mystery and logic rather than because it is her job such as when she didn't go on strike. And finally, they are both played by Melina Kankarades.
69** Stella has had sex, Athena is a maiden. Jossed. Hard.
70*** It was a look-alike succubus!
71*** If Athena is a maiden, what's up with Annabeth and all her half-siblings? double Jossed.
72*** They are gifts from the mind. Don't recall in which book
73*** It's from the fourth book. Athena mentions that she and all other children of Athena are quite literally brainchilds (brainchildren?) formed from her divine thoughts and "ingenuity of the mortal father".
74
75[[WMG: In [[TheFilmOfTheBook the movie]] all of the mythological creatures are [[{{Mutants}} mutates]]]]
76* To elaborate Grover the satyr must "earn his horns", Medusa was cursed into gorgonhood, and demigods are plentiful implying that as far as the gods are concerned biology is just a polite suggestion and therefore create satyrs, centaurs, hydras, and whathaveyou on whim. Also, [[UnfortunateImplications Unfortunately]] TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody
77** Actually, the part about Medusa being cursed is from actual Myth/GreekMythology. Athena cursed because she was a maiden of one of her temples and had the [[DisproportionateRetribution audacity to be raped by Poseiden in Athena's temple.]]
78** Another version states that Aphrodite cursed Medusa, because Medusa bragged of sleeping w/Hephaestus & being prettier than Aphrodite.
79
80[[WMG:The true forms of the Gods are Eldritch Abominations]]
81* The sheer impossibility of the shape they take is so mind-numbing, your body burns itself to ashes as a defense mechanism.
82** That's a pretty crappy "Defense" mechanism.
83** This is actually canon in the original Greek myths; it was how Hera killed Dionysus' mother, a mortal princess - she goaded said princess into asking to see Zeus' true, divine form, and got burnt to a crisp.
84* The sequel series reveals that their true form is pure energy and is powerful enough to split atoms just by their presence alone. That'd explain it.
85
86[[WMG:There will be a Crossover Crossover with ''Literature/TheKaneChronicles'' eventually.]]
87The first book of The Kane Chronicles has [[ShoutOut Shout outs]] to the Percy Jackson series and the end of The Last Olympian said that Rick was writing a new half-blood series, and The Kane Chronicles is it.
88* That, or ''Literature/TheHeroesOfOlympus''.
89* The last book in the Kane Chronicles said [[spoiler: they were going to Long Island to investigate the other gods]]. So maybe Riordan's still planning a crossover.
90* Confirmed in Son of Sobek.
91
92[[WMG: One or more characters is a JustForFun/TimeLord]]
93* Kronos
94** Pshaw!
95** Well, you aren't wrong.
96
97[[WMG:Rachel Elizabeth Dare is Cassandra of Troy reborn.]]
98* Artists frequently portray Cassandra with the wild red hair, and Rachel is something of a modern 'princess', and there's the whole [[spoiler:'prophecy']] thing ... okay really I have no conclusive evidence in particular.
99** No, it actually fits. Cassandra's curse was that she could foresee the future but no one believed her predictions. Rachel can see through the mist but no mortals believe what she says.
100
101[[WMG:Jason from the SequelSeries is one of Luke's reincarnations.]]
102Riordan prolly wanted to give Luke a chance. And random amnesia in the middle of the world?
103* Possibly Jossed due to Jason slowly regaining his memories.
104* Definitely Jossed due to Jason being Thalia's brother and having led the attack on the Titans stronghold while they marched on Olympus.
105
106[[WMG:The series is set in the same universe as ''TabletopGame/HunterTheReckoning''.]]
107The first line of the prophecy at the end of the book 7 half bloods shall answer the call the call stands for the call of the Messengers to hunt but because half bloods can already see through the mist or masquerade they consider the message a random hallucination and the second thing that happens has no effect on the half blood because they can already see through the mist or the masquerade
108* The demigods are a branch of the Aegis Kai Doru.
109
110[[WMG: The new series will focus on legendary mortals like Odysseus.]]
111Jason's not a demigod; he's a legendary mortal who came about his abilities naturally (without divine blood). He may be the reincarnation of Jason as a legendary hero but not a demigod. The new series will see the rebirth of Hector, Ajax, Orion, Atalanta and other mortals who rose above rank and file. Gods on all sides will try to influence and intimidate them (I could see Artemis especially curious about Orion) but in the end, they'll be free agents with relative autonomy.
112* Half true. There are reborn mortals, but only villains.
113** Who said only villains?
114*** Well, it is stated that the dead are at least so far only coming back with the aid of a "patron",who turns out to be the Big Bad.she's not likely to help any good guys get out.(though that doesn't rule out her messing with the laws of death allowing out good guys too.)
115*** [[Tropers/{{Spinosegnosaurus}} I]] could be wrong, but wasn't Orion Poseidon's son?
116*** Orion is Poseidon's son and Orion's ability to walk on water was a gift from his father.
117* The second book does feature at least one heroic character who was reborn [[spoiler:(Hazel)]] and at least one other character who un-died almost immediately [[spoiler: (Gwen)]] due to Thanatos being chained. And if the gods get desperate enough, Hades might be willing to allow some loopholes...
118
119[[WMG: Prometheus will be the villain in the new series.]]
120Do you ''really'' think that a couple of kids could OutGambit the Titan who's embodies forethought least of all Percy "LeeroyJenkins" Jackson? Prometheus always has a plan, from giving fire to man, to being chained to a rock, to telling Percy to give up ''knowing'' that that would urge him onwards to eliminate Kronos and pave the way for his own designs which are much, much more insidious and intricate than "Take over a kid's body, Attack Zeus head on, ????, Profit!". [[NiceJobBReakingItHero Nice Job Breaking It, Perce.]] Jason's going to be spending the next series fixing your mistakes.
121* Firstly, Elpis is Hope, Secondly, Kronos' plan was quite intricate, but Forethought is not "Seeing the future", it's "planning ahead". Thirdly, Jossed.
122** But Elpis ''isn't'' hope. Elpis is the expectation of something to happen. It can be something good, or something absolutely horrible, as anyone can tell if they read Ancient Greek manuscripts.
123*** In this series, Elpis '''is''' Hope. In case you haven't been paying attention, Riordan gets a lot of things wrong, possibly due to not really digging beyond the surface of the mythology. Besides, nobody expected [[BigDamnHeroes Hades, Demeter and Persephone]] to involve themselves in the fight.
124* As above, Jossed.
125
126[[WMG: There will be another series by Riordan about Myth/NorseMythology.]]
127Completing the big three Western mythologies.
128* Son of Thor? Yes Please.
129* Ziggy [[note]](Short for Sigurd, of course)[[/note]] Thompson and The Asgardians?
130** His companions will be a snarky daughter of Odin and a dwarf. At the end of the first book, they will be betrayed by a son of Loki who is in league with Surtr and wants to bring about the Ragnarok. Ziggy will [[BloodBath bathe in Fafnir's blood]] and become invincible like Percy. And when the two meet, it will be an extended game of grabass to see who can stab the others weak spot first.
131** The storyline will involve, at some point, werewolves, following one part of the Sigmund myth. Also, it will be mentioned that like the Greek demigods, Norse ones tend to have ADHD. However, it's far more likely in their family to manifest as bouts of UnstoppableRage. Rather than suffering from Latin-Cyrillic dyslexia, they have to deal with a measure of Gigantism(all being, at the very least, exceptionally big and strong, if not so much as to get a special medical label) and [[BigEater a huge appetite.]]
132* [[http://www.boston.com/ae/books/articles/2011/10/02/percy_jackson_author_planning_book_on_norse_gods/ Confirmed!]]
133** YAY!!!
134
135[[WMG: Tying in with the above WMG there will be ''another one'' about Eastern mythology.]]
136...for the hell of it.
137* And how do any Westerners know so much about Eastern Mythology?
138* What "Eastern Mythology"? Myth/JapaneseMythology? Myth/HinduMythology? Arabian Mythology?
139** All of them.
140** The gods (all of them, including [[{{God}} the metaphysical one]] ) MUST grant him immortality so he can complete this massive endeavor!
141
142[[WMG: And the natural progression of all of this will be...]]
143Percy, [[Literature/TheKaneChronicles Carter]], [[Literature/TheHeroesOfOlympus Jason]] and [[Myth/NorseMythology the son of Thor]] will team up with [[Myth/ChineseMythology the daughter of the Jade Emperor]], [[Myth/JapaneseMythology the son of Susano-o]], [[Myth/AztecMythology a child of Quetzalcoatl]], [[Myth/CelticMythology the son of Lugh, trained by Cu Chulainn]], [[HollywoodVoodoo the child of Baron Samedi]] and the [[Myth/HinduMythology child of Ganesha]].
144
145They will travel the world and epic crossovers will be had by all. Percy will do battle with Orochi, Carter will engage Meretseger who has allied with Surtr and strives to bring about the Ragnarok. The Chinese and Japanese demigods will enjoy a [[SlapSlapKiss vitriolic relationship]] culminating with them squaring off against [[EldritchAbomination Ame-No-Mikaboshi]] while [[AltarTheSpeed getting married on a sinking ship.]] Meanwhile, Jason will be sucked into a LoveTriangle with the daughter of Baron Samedi and the daughter of Quetzalcoatl while they try and stop Loki and Tezcatlipoca from upending the world and bringing about chaos. The son of Lugh will die in the throws of the [[UnstoppableRage ristrad]] while bringing down Gaia and the child of Ganesha will put an end to Danu while transcending the cycle of suffering...
146
147And where exactly would Apophis be?
148
149That, or they'll all just play TabletopGame/{{Scion}}...
150*** Or Mythomagic.
151* So, since this HAD to be asked eventually... Does Susano-o's kid get Masamune to forge him a sword?
152* Chinese, Japanese, Aztec, and Hindu are unlikely, since magic moves with the heart of the west, which pretty much removes the possibility of American myth pre-1500s, and certainly removes the possibility of Asian myth.
153** Not necessarily. The Kane Chronicles established that western civilization, and therefore its flame, started in Ancient Egypt. From there it's not hard to assume that the original Chinese river states and Mesopotamia might have ignited their own flames in Asia and the Middle East, which could easily result in Eastern mythologies. It would also explain God, being ultimately made the only god and therefore possessing all of the power that is normally divided along a pantheon. Jesus, then, would be a demigod, the only one God ever sired.
154
155[[WMG: There will be a series by Riordan about [[Myth/ArthurianLegend Arthurian Mythology]].]]
156Let's face it... After the series invoking Myth/NorseMythology, Riordan will have used all three most well-known western mythologies. The fourth most well-known would actually be the legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.
157* Maybe it could be interpreted as when the Flame of Western Civilisation resided in Britain (Albion, the Knights are all demigods in disguise)
158
159[[WMG:All of the contributors to the Haiku section of this very wiki are really Apollo in disguise]]
160Artemis was pissed at him, so she sent him to Website/TVTropes to [[JustForFun/TVTropesWillRuinYourLife get his life ruined]]. He started the haiku section, and well...
161** Heh heh, pretty nice.
162** This is how he spends his time now that [[spoiler:he's been turned mortal (''Literature/TheTrialsOfApollo'').]]
163** Combining the last few theories: Website/TVTropes was actually created by Loki.
164*** HA! CAN'T FOOL US ANYMORE, LOKI! SHOW YOURSELF!
165[[JustAsPlanned It worked perfectly]].
166
167[[WMG: Hera was responsible for Thalia's mother's death.]]
168Car Crash...suuuuuuurrre...
169Given Hera's talent for inflicting mental conditions (see Heracles' temporary insanity) , she could have made Thalia's mother into an alcoholic and let nature do the rest.
170** Considering Hera's view on her husbands infidelities, this is almost certain.
171
172[[WMG: Other famous demigods]]
173Demeter and Aphrodite would have had the most adult Demigods because it's mentioned early on in the series that monsters would be less drawn to them. And there's mention of known historic figures being demigods.
174
175Famous children of Aphrodite would probably be but aren't limited to:
176* Jane Austen
177* Rudolph Valentino
178* Annette Funicello
179* Creator/MeganFox (or she could be Aphrodite in disguise. That explains why her appearance is always changing).
180* Creator/MarilynMonroe
181* Julie Harris
182* George Gobel
183* Jennifer Jones
184* Many real life {{Alpha Bitch}}es.
185* Music/JustinBieber - His massive HateDom and HateDumb is an organized attempt by the children of Apollo for revenge.
186** Until Anonymous/the internet caught on. Now it's just {{hatedom}}.
187* Creator/HideakiAnno - Same as Taylor Swift, hence why [[RealitySubtext they]] [[CreatorBreakdown are]] [[TrollingCreator very]] [[WhyFandomCantHaveNiceThings similar]].
188* [[Series/BigBrother Dr. Will]].
189* Adolf Hitler - come on, how did he motivate so many people - excellent public speaker or charmspeaking?
190** Not a bad argument, but it's heavily implied that Hitler is a son of Hades.
191*** It’s confirmed he’s a son of Hades.
192*** Not quite. It's actually been confirmed that Hitler was not a demigod of ''any'' sort.
193* Maybe, just maybe, UsefulNotes/JohnFKennedy.
194
195Famous children of Athena would likely be:
196* Different types of people. She's the goddess of Wisdom AND Battle Strategy AND Crafts - that's pretty broad. (Plus a bunch of other stuff).
197* All architects
198* If characters from other fictions counted, I think Literature/SherlockHolmes would count as this. [[Series/{{Monk}} Adrian Monk]] would probably be so, too.
199* Stonewall Jackson
200* Charles Dickens
201* Mark Twain
202* Elizabeth I
203* Margaret Thatcher
204* Harriet Taylor
205* Martin Luther
206* John Brown, given that most civil wars were caused by the children of Athena stirring up shit between the Greek and Roman demigods.
207* Winston Churchill
208** Unlikely as WWII was mentioned to be a battle between the children of the big three, so I think Hades is the most likely suspect
209*** It's been hinted in universe that Hitler was a son of Hades, so his children were probably on the other side. Athena could still be accurate but it seems most likely that he's a son of Zeus or Poseidon.
210** Website/TheOtherWiki claims that he's a son of Poseidon (Britannia rules from the waves, I guess) while FDR was Zeus' son and Stalin and Hitler were both Hades.
211*** The Other Wiki is wrong. Hitler is confirmed to not be a demigod.
212* Professor Creator/StephenHawking
213* [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyTactics Ramza Beoulve]]
214* UsefulNotes/NapoleonBonaparte
215* I see several ''Series/TheWire'' characters being children of Athena, like Ellis Carver, Howard "Bunny" Colvin, Dennis "Cutty" Wise, Gus Haynes, Lester Freamon, Bunk Moreland, and Jimmy [=McNulty=]
216Famous children of Demeter would probably be:
217* Gregor Mendel
218* Williams; who is thought of being someone who noticed the Bartlett Pear.
219* Will Keith Kellogg; potentially her roman aspect.
220* Eli Whitney, although he might have been a child of Athena.
221* A lot of professors, deans, and ministers of Agriculture, horticulture, and related fields in the world.
222* The inventors of the greenhouse in Rome; though children of her roman aspect because, well, they were invented for ''Rome''!
223* John or Mary Elitch (Since ElitchGardens originally was a flower garden)
224* C.W. Post
225* René Dumont
226* Louis Pasteur; although he might have been a child of Athena.
227* Jethro Tull (Not ''THAT'' one!)
228* Robert Bakewell
229* Justus Von Liebig
230* George Washington Carver
231** Less obvious: Kim Wilde. The looks of a goddess, wrote a book on gardening, and, as the ultimative Exhibit C, google for the (German) SF cover of "Die Linien der Zeit" by Manuel van Loggem. :-)
232* Michelin starred Chefs
233* Norman Borlaug
234
235Famous children of Apollo would be:
236* Music/{{Hanson}}
237* The Music/SpiceGirls
238* Music/{{Rush|Band}}
239* Music/{{Nirvana}}
240** I HIGHLY approve of this theory.
241* [[Film/ThisIsSpinalTap Spinal Tap]] - except for the drummers.
242* Music/ElvisPresley. ''Literature/TheKaneChronicles'' (which takes place in the same universe) says he was an Egyptian magician. But it could be possible that he was a son of Apollo who fell in with the Egyptians because he didn't know his Greco-Roman heritage.
243* Johan Sebastian Bach; son of his Roman aspect though.
244* A lot of early composers, though probably a mix of his roman and greek aspect since they only made music to what was popular at the time.
245* Haydn
246* Brubeck
247* Tchaikovsky
248* Yo Yo Ma
249* [[Creator/DarrenCriss Darren]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJ7UW2yuBI0 Criss]] (Since the song had to do with Greek Mythology)
250* Music/JimiHendrix
251* [[Music/LedZeppelin Jimmy Page]]
252** Excuse me? "I come from the land of the ice and snow/from the midnight sun where the hotsprings blow. '''Hammer of the Gods''' we'll drive our ships to new lands/Fight the hoards and sing and cry/ [[Myth/NorseMythology Valhalla I am Coming.]]"
253* ''Jim Morrison''
254* Music/KeithRichards
255* Edward Jenner (was doctor and less famously a poet and musician, how could he NOT be a son of Apollo?)
256* [[Music/IronMaiden Steve Harris]]
257* [[Music/BlindGuardian Hansi Kursch]]
258* Creator/CharltonHeston
259* Music/TaylorSwift. (Instead of an Aphrodite child). He is the God of Music and Poetry.
260* Creator/HideakiAnno. Same as Swift.
261* Wayne Brady
262* Florence Nightingale: Founder of modern nursing.
263* Dame Shirley Bassey, has been described as having the voice of god (not necessarily "God")
264* Music/FrankSinatra
265* Music/StevieWonder
266* Music/AndreaBocelli
267* Music/AliciaKeys
268
269Famous children of Hades would be:
270* Wrestling/TheUndertaker
271* Creator/EdgarAllanPoe (could also be a child of Apollo)
272** Or Dionysus, given how hard he hit the bottle.
273* Mary Shelly
274* Creator/VincentPrice (Could be a child of Apollo)
275* Creator/HPLovecraft (Or a possible child of Dionysus, due to him being the god of insanity and all)
276* Creator/StephenKing
277* Dr. Jekyll and Hyde
278* Aleister Crowley, all about the dark arts and generally not appreciated.
279* I know many ''Series/TheWire'' characters that would be kids of Hades, like Marlo Stanfield, Chris Partlow, Snoop, "The Greek", and Spiros. Avon Barksdale is a toss-up, since while he does order some very brutal hits, he also willingly lets Cutty depart from his crew on good terms and later provides funding for Cutty's gym, which might make Avon a child of Hermes.
280
281Famous children of Hermes would be:
282* Alexander Graham Bell
283* Bill Gates
284* Steve Jobs
285* Bernard Madoff
286* All of the gangsters of the 1920s:
287** UsefulNotes/AlCapone
288** John Dillinger
289** Homer Van Meter
290** Baby Face Nelson
291** Bonnie and Clyde. True incest there.
292** Pete Pierpont might be a child of Hermes, but in real life he had gray eyes, so he would be a child of Athena.
293* Sir Walter Raleigh
294* Eugene Vidocq, a juvenile delinquent who turned his great cunning towards the side of good
295* Most of the criminals in ''Series/TheWire'', like Omar Little, Frank Sobotka, Stringer Bell, Proposition Joe, and D'Angelo Barksdale
296
297
298Children of Hephaestus could be:
299* UsefulNotes/{{NASCAR}} drivers, and probably everyone in the pit crew (seeing how much work they put into their cars); I believe that in the demigod world, the gods like to decide when to have a large crash is, and which driver should win, a secret form of "fixing".
300* All employees who work on assembly lines
301* Anyone who works in the construction industry
302* [[ComicBook/IronMan Tony Stark]], if comic book characters count; he could also be offspring of Athena given his mind.
303** The anvil is pretty much a dead-giveaway. Also, the robotic Iron Man suits in the third film are an expy for Hephaestus' mechanical servants.
304* [[WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButthead Beavis]]. Fire, Fire, FIRE!!!
305* Henry Ford
306* Volcanologists. They study volcanic activity, but that's just a cover story for what they really do, which is follow directives from their father to monitor Typhon's places of imprisonment for signs of him trying to escape.
307
308Children of Poseidon
309* Sir Francis Drake
310* Admiral Yi Sun Shin
311* Admiral Horatio Nelson
312* Pretty much every single naval captain in History.
313* Jacques Cousteau
314* Themistocles could definitely be a son or legacy of Athena as well
315
316Children of Dionysus
317* Creator/JohnBelushi.
318* Most famous playwrights, especially Tennessee Williams.
319* Van Gogh, both emotional and a bit insane.
320
321Children of other gods
322* Kent Allard, alias the Shadow: child of Hecate. How else did he learn to cloud the minds of men?
323* Sigmund Freud: child of Hypnos or Morpheus. Hence his uncanny knack for interpreting dreams.
324* Jack Churchill: child of Ares. Along with any sufficiently insane soldiers.
325* Charles Lindburgh, a son of Zeus (possibly ditto the Wright Brothers)
326
327[[WMG: Percy is the reincarnation of another demigod, trying for the Isles of the Blest.]]
328* Maybe the original Perseus, or Heracles.
329** If you take into account ''Literature/TheHeroesOfOlympus'', the idea that either Percy or Jason are a reincarnated hero could work. After all, the hero that defeated the giants last time was Heracles, why not again? Perhaps Percy is Heracles, and Jason is Hercules? (And yes, I know they are different names for the same person. But Heracles' spirit was split after death in Myth/GreekMythology - he went to Olympus as a god, but was later seen as a spirit in the Underworld by Odysseus.)
330*** Despite the many many many many *many* easy parallels to be drawn between Percy and Heracles that would imply him being a reincarnation, it's established in Mark of Athena that Heracles received godhood when he died, and is very unhappy about it. If his soul were split in Percy Jackson canon it would have been mentioned then. It is noted that the stories passed down by mortals aren't always entirely accurate.
331** For a good line of irony, Percy could be Perseus and Jason could be Jason. As "easy" as that sounds.
332** For bonus points: Annabeth is the reincarnation of Andromeda: Perseus's wife in the original legend. (Persues was the only hero who ended up faithfully HappilyMarried). She and Percy could be trying for the Isles of the Blest together. That would explain why their connection (her being his Achilles heel, [[spoiler: Percy remembering Annabeth after his memory's wiped]]) is so strong.
333
334[[WMG: The final enemy...]]
335* This ties in with [=WMGs=] above regarding series set in other mythologies. Riordan's final series is going to be a massive crossover between all these mythologies as they face off with their ultimate final enemy...God...yeah, that God...with the big G. After all, all of these religions were ultimately displaced by a series of monotheistic religions venerating a single God who declared total genocide on anyone who worshiped anything else. And yet, despite the best efforts of his followers, the other pantheons continue to influence modern society. The very last novel/series is going to be about God and his followers trying to wipe out the last vestiges of the pagan religions that they replaced.
336** Where does Jesus figure in this?
337*** Jesus will be the one to gather the heroes since having [[UsefulNotes/{{Judaism}} three]] [[UsefulNotes/{{Christianity}} different]] [[UsefulNotes/{{Islam}} religions]] worshiping him has probably thrown the Abrahamic God a bit off-kilter. Jesus, being either [[UsefulNotes/{{Judaism}} a false messiah,]] [[UsefulNotes/{{Christianity}} the Son of God,]] or [[UsefulNotes/{{Islam}} a great prophet]] and his general attitudes, makes him more likely to attempt to keep peace between the two factions. Satan is also involved in spreading confusion and wants to bring about Armageddon. It's up to our heroes to determine if the Jesus they meet is, in fact, the real deal or [[{{Antichrist}} is merely a fake.]]
338** Personally, for me it would be like this-Satan, the Anti-God and the Great Old Ones will try to take over the world, God, who was the thing the Greek Gods were praying too, will summon the demigods to kick ass. Also, Jesus will help them. God will also be a bit of a prick.
339* In ''Magnus Chase and the Sword of Summer'' Thor says that he's still angry at Jesus for not showing up to a duel... Hm...
340
341[[WMG: The villain in the third series will be Chaos.]]
342First, Kronos. Second, the deity who came before Kronos- Gaia. Third, the deity who came before Gaia... Chaos.
343* OhCrap.
344* Isn't Chaos already the villian of Kane Chronicles?
345* [[CrossOver Exactly.]]
346
347[[WMG: The scene in Son of Neptune when Percy finally meets Nico again will be freaking hilarious.]]
348Search your heart. You know it to be true.
349* As long as it involves [[BigDamnHeroes Nico saving the day,]] I will be satisfied.
350* Both are jossed
351** On the contrary, the scene was in fact hilarious, seeing as Percy has amnesia and Nico is trying to pretend he's never seen him before.
352
353[[WMG: The series takes place in the sea of trolls universe]]
354Gaia is the dark half of the Life Force, and the demigods have to find the good half to beat her. Also the gods are a subspecies of elves, or half-fallen angels.
355
356[[WMG: Chaos is only good god and Chomsky is her son.]]
357so chaos is anarchism, Spain is were she sleeps, Chaos is God. Yes i am an anarchist.
358
359[[WMG: The Norse Heroes Will Be Chosen By The Wyrd.]]
360
361Or urdr, the equivalent force; It's essentially fate or destiny's force. They wouldn't be blood related, so much as the chosen battle champions of the Norse gods.
362* I would so pay to see who Loki chooses.
363** Jossed
364
365[[WMG: Dionysus is Carl from Aqua Teen Hunger Force]]
366Lets look at the facts shall we:
367* Both Carl and Dionysus are described as middle aged men with a bad temper, a drinking problem, and looking in not the best of health.
368* There are theories that Carl is the reason the ATHF universe is so insane. Everything around him is pure insanity and yet he is regarded as the OnlySaneMan. Keep in mind that Dionysus is also the God of Insanity as well as drinking and partying.
369* Both hate half-bloods, just of different variants. Carl hates food/human hybrids, Dionysus is not found of Demigods.
370* Carl has been shown to like Pac-man much like Dionysus.
371
372[[WMG: Kurt Cobain isn't Apollo's son...]]
373Apollo IS Kurt. He fits the description to Apollo's mortal form to a T, and he's a genius at poetic lyrics as well as fantastic guitar skills. Kurt Cobain was a social experiment done by Apollo for shits and giggles.
374** So Apollo just got bored of his Cobain disguise around '94 and decided to fuck with our minds, bring SHITLOADS of tears, and kill a genre just as it started, and pretend to have shot himself? Not cool
375*** Greek gods are sort of known for their cruetly, y'know.
376
377[[WMG: The series is set in the same universe as Literature/TheSpiderwickChronicles]]
378Think about it: European mythical creatures in America that are InvisibleToNormals unless said normals are the seventh son of a seventh son, the seventh daughter of a seventh daughter or (Wait for it) have red hair. Three words: Rachel Elizabeth Dare! But, now we are left with a question: Is Sally Jackson the seventh daughter of a seventh daughter?
379
380[[WMG: The members of Music/{{Muse}} are sons of the actual Muses.]]
381With anti-olympian sympathys. Hence ''Uprising''.
382
383[[WMG: Creator/CharlieSheen is a half-blood.]]
384Taking into account his strange behaviour, his substance abuse, and womanizing ways (With a preference for "Godesses"), I'm guessing he's the son of Dionysus. What do you guys think?
385* He has Adonis DNA!
386* "I am on a drug, it's called Charlie Sheen! It's not available because if you try it once, you will die. Your face will melt off and your children will weep over your exploded body." A confused reference to Ambrosia or Nectar?
387
388[[WMG: Music/TheKillers are also half-bloods.]]
389But they don't know it yet!
390
391''And I'm on my knees, looking for the answer
392Are we human, or are we dancer?'' Struggling with their half human nature?
393
394''Got a feeling their gonna break down the door
395Got a feeling their gonna come back for more'' The monsters are after them!
396
397[[WMG: Riordan will do a series based on Norse Mythology]]
398* As a matter of fact, he is.
399** Unfortunately.
400** Why unfortunately?
401*** Consider that there was already a bit of {{Bowdlerization}} to make Greek and Egyptian myths ''friendly'' for children... and Norse mythology is much ''much'' more violent.
402Confirmed, though the violence stays about the same as in his other series.
403
404[[WMG: 4chan was created by Dionysus]]
405God of insanity and drinking. Makes perfect sense.
406* Don't forget all the freaky orgies he, or his followers, the Maenads, were frequently the cause of?
407
408[[WMG: Annabeth and Percy will have a son...]]
409Who will be Luke's reincarnation. Percy and Annabeth will sense this somehow, but not bring it up because it's too painful.
410
411[[WMG: The rare humans who can see through the Mist are candidates for the Oracle.]]
412Two of the three people we see who can see through the Mist attempt to become the Oracle (Rachel is successful). In addition, all three of the ones we see are female, and the Oracle spirit tends to prefer young females. The difference is that Sally Jackson chose not to take up the opportunity.
413* I thought this was already known fact in the series.
414Alternatively, they are blessed by Hecate, who basically has the most control over the Mist.
415
416[[WMG: Whoever made Mythomagic is a demigod. Or god (Hermes/Apollo?)]]
417It's stated the Hades figurine that causes Bianca's death has a resemblance to the actual Hades. Now how would someone know...
418* There's a precedent for this: In ''Literature/DarkHeavens'', it's mentioned that a son of Qing Long created ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}''.
419* It's possible that it was made as a spotter's guide to monsters. It's so accurate that Nico recognizes the manticore and catoblepas on sight. Even the Roman demigods play it. It was probably made as a fun way for demigods to learn about monsters, especially since most demigods have ADHD and don't generally do well in classrooms.
420
421[[WMG: Percy Jackson is in the same universe as Harry Potter]]
422Let's break down the similarities between the two worlds, shall we?
423Both:
424* Are home to a host of mythical creatures, some even crossing over from Greek Mythology like griffons, unicorns, dragons, and of course, the prominence of owls
425* Have a shield that makes it so normal people can't see magical or mythical things
426* Have names that mean more that meets the eye (Minerva and Hermione especially)
427* Quests characters must fulfill
428* Go by the fact that you can't fight fate
429Also, where does all of this magic in Literature/HarryPotter stem from? It's never explained in Harry Potter how the magic came to be, it's only implied that it has always been around. That, coupled with the fact that the [[spoiler: Roman Camp]] implies that even distant ancestors of the gods still hold abilities and powers of their blood line, it could be that after centuries of the gods having children, and those children having children and so forth, that a whole new breed of people were born with the ability to manipulate the world around them, because their ancestral backgrounds became so watered down that they no longer have the specific powers full on Demigods do. Instead, they have the potential to hone and shape their left over raw power how they please. They need wands to hone that power, because on its own it isn't nearly as powerful as a demigod's. The Literature/HarryPotter world may just be the result of hundreds of years of god blood breeding in and out of society.
430** Actually, in Harry Potter, you can fight fate. The idea is refused due to the circumstances of the story, but fighting fate is still brought up and approved of, just not in those circumstances.
431*** There is a fanfic of this [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7496969/1/Sharing-a-Lovegood Sharing A Lovegood]], where Luna's a daughter of Athena. So far only includes the original series, though THoO might come into play.
432** Alternatively, while the gods were in England, Hecate had four children: Godric Gryffindor, Salazar Slytherin, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Helga Hufflepuff.
433
434[[WMG: NASCAR drivers are demigods]]
435* Honestly, Jimmie Johnson's five consecutive championships (2006-2010) must make him a demigod, possibly a son of Hephaestus. Jeff Gordon's probably the same.
436* Hephaestus is behind all of the ExecutiveMeddling in NASCAR
437* Dale Earnhardt, Jr. might be related to Hephaestus, as his maternal grandfather was Robert Gee, a famous engine builder.
438* Jeremy Mayfield and A.J. Allmendinger got suspended in the past few years for performance enhancing ambrosia. That's the banned substance they were caught for.
439* There are a few gods that must be able to decide the outcome of those races, and they obviously liked Talladega enough that they engineered the competitive Talladega races of 2010 and 2011. They even arrange for Big Ones to happen.
440** Dale Earnhardt may have been a son of Ares: his GM Goodwrench Chevrolet was an intimidating black, and it explains why he spun out any car he couldn't pass. There is a reason they called him "The Intimidator".
441** Kyle Busch and Kurt Busch are sons of Ares, as evidenced by their tempers. Given that August 25, 2012 incident at Bristol where Tony Stewart threw his helmet at Matt Kenseth's hood after they got together duelling for the lead, I'm almost certain Stewart might be tied to Ares somehow.
442
443[[WMG: One day, Percy will doing something...]]
444...when a he will encounter a mysterious mammalian creature accompanied by a group of girls. The [[CartoonCreature mammal]], who is magical in nature, will say [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica "Hi, there Percy. My name is Kyubey, and this is your long long sister, Sayaka."]]
445
446[[WMG:Other mythologies apart from Greek, Egyptian, and Norse will appear.]]
447Piper's chapters hint at there being something to certain Native American tales.
448
449[[WMG: The sequel to Heroes of Olympus will be a World War Myth type story]]
450The myths will clash in war, to bring upon a Ragnarok that will leave Percy as King of the Universe
451
452
453[[WMG: Tartarus (the AnthropomorphicPersonification) will make an appearance.]]
454Given where [[spoiler: Percy and Annabeth]] are at the moment... oh yeah, and he’ll be a HenpeckedHusband.
455[[spoiler:Confirmed, all but the henpecking part. He did sort of....assimilate Hyperion and Krios though, so that's that]]
456
457[[WMG: The faded gods, like Pan, Helios, and Selena are just transported to another world, so to speak]]
458A world where things people don't believe in, meaning most mythological beings, end up. Sooner or later they encounter either a [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/VideoGame/Touhou shrine maiden in red and white or a blonde witch with a fondness for lasers]].
459
460[[WMG: Apollo went to Japan to hit on Amaterasu]]
461"Let's make some sunshine together."
462
463[[WMG: Persephone is pregnant with Hades' kid.]]
464
465And Demeter is pissed, which is why she created Winter Storm Titan.
466
467[[WMG: Some children of Athena have mortal mothers.]]
468
469Because Athena is asexual, and creates her children with the power of her mind, it doesn't add up, (and frankly, lends itself to some {{Unfortunate Implications}}) that she only gives them to men whose minds she respects.
470
471[[WMG: The gods are just the personification of Western ideals]]
472Despite the gods being real, cosmology seems to be pretty much what you would expect from modern science. Apollo's chariot is specifically said to be made of what people think about the sun, not the sun itself. Therefore the gods could be said to be natural phenomenon that mankind has personified (which, out-of-universe, they kind of already are). By the same token, monsters seem to be personifications of chaos and... uh... "un-civilization?" Typhon seems to be the personification of natural disasters, and satyrs seem to be personified aspects of nature (they get reincarnated as plants).
473
474[[WMG: Ouranos will be the one to defeat/lull Gaia back to her slumber]]
475Less of a WMG and more of am 'I hope this happens' but still, in the actual Ouranos/Kronos myth it's only his private parts that get chopped into fine pieces not his whole mortal form. And if Tartarus itself can make an appearance, then so can he.
476** Jossed, though he does get mentioned.
477
478[[WMG: Hitler was a son of Zeus]]
479It's mentioned that WWII was the last time the sons of the big three had fought and that's why they made the agreement but they never specify which god had which leader and considering that Hitler had the eagle for his sigil and the Nazi SS is very similar looking to a pair of lightning bolts this would also play in to the fact that Hades (who i'm guessing most people automatically suspected) despite his fierce reputation is actually a pretty cool guy while Zeus has a short temper and is kind of a dick
480* I think it was implied he was the son of Hades? Which would be highly ironic given Hades' complaints that he has more than enough subjects thanks very much and doesn't need more.
481* Very jossed. According to a book talk Rick Riordan did, Hitler isn't a demigod period.
482
483[[WMG: Tesla was a son of Zeus]]
484Come on, I can't be the only one who sees it...
485
486[[WMG: Children of the [[MusclesAreMeaningful brawnier]] [[WarGod war gods]] (i.e. Ares and Thor) are myostatin-deficient and the daughters have abnormally high testosterone levels and masculinized bodies.]]
487Think about it. Ares and Thor are patron gods of physical strength, aggression and masculinity in their respective pantheons. In ''The Lightning Thief'', Percy implies that Clarisse is either [[FatBastard morbidly obese]] or has the musculature of a male linebacker at 13-14 years old and a height of 5'6" ([[StoutStrength or that she has both]]). She also has thin, stringy hair, a deep, husky voice, foul body odor, and a [[JerkAss callous]], [[TheBrute violent]] [[MilesGloriousus personality]], while in the graphic novel her face is [[BrawnHilda virilized]] to the point of being [[LadyLooksLikeADude indistinguishable from a grown man's]], sans beard. In ''Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard'', Gunilla, a daughter of Thor, is "big enough to play power forward'' and referred to as "Gorilla" by Magnus.
488
489Clarisse's physical traits listed above and Gunilla's more roundabout descriptions can be symptoms of abnormally high testosterone levels, or [[BrawnHilda "virilization"]] in girls, at least in combination. It has also been scientifically proven that physical activities favor the male's sexual dimorphism over female's (hence why, with very few exceptions, men always outperform women in sports once they reach later stages of puberty) and that testosterone increases physical aggression, bolsters confidence, allows the body to burn fat and build and retain lean mass, increases pain tolerance, and increases one's stamina. Add in a myostatin deficiency (which can increase one's musculature and strength by as much as 40%) and you've got the perfect soldier/warrior/warmonger!
490
491On a lighter note, maybe this explains [[BigEater Thor's appetite]] in the original myths (muscle is expensive, and in at least one case of myostatin deficiency in humans, the boy in question [[HyperactiveMetabolism ate several full meals a day with heavy snacking between]]).
492
493[[WMG: Past locations of Olympus]]
494* Palace of Aachen, during the Carolingian Empire (immediately after the fall of Rome; gods become German but this aspect isn't as significant as their Roman one and fades)
495** More likely it was over a mountain and not a building at this point in history. Heroes still have to reach it, right?
496* Shifts rapidly between Madrid, Paris, and London during the Age of Imperialism, with the gods' nationality changing correspondingly
497* London (exact building uncertain) during most of the 1700s-1800s.
498
499[[WMG: The events of the books have happened before.]]
500After the Titan and Giant war, events lead to a higher amount of monsters than usual. This leads to chaos and eventually the gods relocate due to the balance of power changing. This causes more chaos, setting off the events that lead to another Titan and Giant war. For example, World War One (or Napoleon) began the relocation to America. With more monsters arriving with the demigods, a son of Hephaestus called Henry Ford invented the production line to produce weapons faster. This caused the Great Depression in the mortal world, while the turmoil made it possible for Kronos and Gaia to begin returning. Their actions manifested in the mortal world in ways that will eventually transfer the balance of power from the US to Belgium or a UnitedEurope.
501The reason why previous incidents didn't end in Kronos and Gaia getting destroyed and weren't called Titan/Giant wars is because they were also wars in the mortal world. This goes back all the way to the Trojan War - maybe earlier.
502
503[[WMG: Hellboy's Verse is coterminous with this Verse]]
504During WWII, Hades' children were mostly on the Axis side. Website/TheOtherWiki says Rasputin was one of Hades' children. Rasputin, working with the Nazis? There's only one possible outcome there. I'm still contemplating on Frankenstein (as portrayed in Creator/{{Dean Koontz}}'s work) being another son of Hades. We'll see.
505
506[[WMG: Demigods fearing something closely related to the domain of their divine parent is a sign of deep-seated resentment and denial of said parentage]]
507Take Thalia for example. Yes she got the lightning powers which fits her overall personality, but she is so terrified of heights she isn't even aware she should also have (and probably DOES have but never used) air/wind related powers allowing her to fly. Not too long after she is brought back from the dead, she makes it so she ''cannot'' be the demigod in the prophecy by joining the Hunters, turning herself immortal and renouncing her parentage to the point that she uses arrows instead of Aegis and her spear and pretty much never uses her lightning powers afterwards.
508
509[[WMG: Nico is bi and had a crush on BOTH Annabeth and Percy]]
510In Battle of the Labyrinth he refuses to go help the camp when Percy asks and only agrees when Annabeth asks him, at which point he gets a soft look in his eye.
511* Some what jossed as he only had a crush on [[spoiler: Percy & hasn't shown interest in women so far.]]
512
513[[WMG:Crossover guess: the glasses of ''VideoGame/Persona4'' can be used to see through the Mist]]
514Those glasses can see through magical fog already.
515
516[[WMG:Annabeth's family's Doberman was killed by a monster]]
517In the first book, Annabeth mentions that her family had a pet Doberman. When she brings it up, the memory makes her cry, but she doesn't say what happened to the dog.
518
519Earlier, she had also mentioned that her family was frequently attacked by monsters that smelled her demigod aura, causing them to resent her. If the family's dog was attacked and killed by a monster, that would be even more reason for them to resent her or even blame her for the dog's death.
520
521[[WMG:Percy is a distant descendant of Aphrodite]]
522Okay, I know this is unlikely to be confirmed, but think about it; Percy is often described as very handsome, and at least 5 characters (Annabeth, Calypso, Rachel, Nico, and very briefly Reyna) have shown a romantic attraction to him. Makes perfect sense for a descendant of the love goddess.
523
524[[WMG:Kronos met or knows some Egyptian God at some point]]
525Or perhaps a long time ago the mythologies were as separated as they are now and interacted more.
526
527Think about how he possesses Luke, it is really similar to the Egyptian Gods having Magicians Host them and it was treated like it was somewhat bizarre to the Greeks and no one seemed to have any idea what he had done.
528
529[[WMG:Smelly Gabe is a [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Psychic Blank]] like [[Literature/CiaphasCain Jurgen]] ]]
530In ''Warhammer'', a Blank (Null, Pariah, etc.) is someone who is (mostly) immune to magic and psychic powers. They're not so immune that they can't be transported through the Warp (the hell dimension used for FTL travel), but they can see through illusions, disrupt nearby spells, and are generally unpleasant for psykers and magical entities. Even normal people instinctively dislike them.\
531Jurgen is a Blank, and one of the first things anyone notices about him is that he smells terrible. It's implied that it's not just hygiene; he still had that smell after he bathed. People around him can also see through illusions when they're close enough to smell him.\
532Like Jurgen, Gabe's scent masks Percy's powerful demigod stench. He can still be killed by magic, like Medusa's head.
533
534[[WMG:Annabeth's WickedStepmother and her stepmother seen in ''The Titan's Curse'' are two different people]]
535In the first two books, Annabeth talks about her stepmother as an AbusiveParent who hates her for attracting monsters and doesn't want her kids living with a freak, but when we actually see Mrs. Chase in ''The Titan's Curse,'' she doesn't act or sound like that kind of person, and seems to be a perfectly nice and kind woman. In the same scene, Frederick confuses the names of Annabeth's two brothers (stepbrothers? half-brothers?), which would be odd if they were his biological children. So, Frederick has been married twice: first, to the unnamed WickedStepmother, who he eventually divorced for treating his daughter badly (and she took her two children with her when she left, not wanting them to be attacked by monsters), and then to another woman (the red-haired Mrs. Chase described in the books) who coincidentally also had two children.
536
537[[WMG: Persephone was involved in, or at least consented to, the births of all of the Hades/Pluto half-bloods. She's only hard on Nico because of what Hitler did.]]
538Persephone is a goddess of chaos and what better way to sow chaos than to have her husband's kids get involved in history? However, the events of WWII soured her opinion towards sons of Hades and she's frosty with Nico and will remain so until he proves he won't turn out like Hitler.

541
542She can handle the idea that her husband gets lonely for six months of the year. She can't handle the idea that someone might share space in Hades's heart romantically like Maria did.

544[[WMG: The Percy Jackson books are a roundabout recruitment tactic by Luke]]
545
546Luke thought that writing a book series (or rather, having a proxy writer possibly influenced via the mist write a book series) to show how bad the gods are would be a great way to recruit other half-bloods. Especially if they hadn't made it to camp yet. However, he knew that telling his story wouldn't be the greatest read, especially for a book series aimed at kids and young adults, so he decided to detail Percy's adventures instead, which still have plenty examples of the gods being [[JerkassGod jerkasses]] while also being more fun and less depressing. Unfortunately, he never counted on people taking Percy's side.

548The proxy author, Rick Riordan, was later hired on as a Scribe for Camp Half-Blood.

550[[WMG: Percy is the son of Poseidon's Mycenaean aspect.]]
551It would explain why he's so powerful: after all, in Mycenaean Greece, Poseidon was the King of the Gods. And Percy has tapped into the "Earthshaker" aspect of Mycenaean Poseidon in Mount Saint Helens. And he managed to sit on Poseidon's Throne longer than most probably could, and managed to temporarily hold the Underworld River at bay (Mycenaean Poseidon was the God of the Underworld). True, it's never stated if the Mycenaean iterations of the Gods existed or not, but if they did exist at one point, and became the modern versions of the Greek Gods, it would be fascinating to explore.

554[[WMG: Hades/Pluto is Adolf Hitler's grandfather.]]
555It's initially implied that Hitler was a demigod from Hades/Pluto, as the children of the Big 3, and Hazel notes that the god of the underworld has a very strong resemblance to him. However the author has confirmed that Hitler ''is not'' a demigod. However, there's still room to say he's related: Adolf Hitler wouldn't be considered a demigod even if his own father was. Historically Alois Hitler was illegitimate and while his future step-father may have been his real dad, the identity of Adolf Hitler's biological grandfather isn't confirmed. So the reason why there's a resemblance is because Hitler is a ''grandson'' of one of the Big 3. [[EveryoneHasStandards Naturally, Zeus still felt it added to why they should stop having children with mortals]] even if with the Fuhrer there was a generational gap. By extension, this would make Hitler Nico and Hazel's nephew.

557[[WMG: [[UsefulNotes/AlexanderTheGreat Alexander the Great's]] claims of being Zeus' son are real in the Camp Half-Blood universe.]]
558In RealLife, Alexander the Great had a burgeoning [[AGodAmI god complex]]. His mother allegedly told him he was actually fathered by Zeus, and he would eventually try to pull off a GodEmperor role. As the Percy Jackson universe is one where the Greek gods actually exist and [[BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy some famous historical people are confirmed as being demigods]], it's entirely possible [[HistoricalInJoke Alexander's claims are a reality in this setting]]. Personality-wise Alexander shares some Zeus characteristics; an incredibly capable and wise man with [[{{Pride}} serious]] [[HairTriggerTemper character]] [[MyopicConqueror flaws]], and [[RealityIsUnrealistic his IRL accomplishments as a conqueror seem like they'd be part of a Greek legend]]. Like the other of the Big 3 Zeus fathered some major figures in World War II, so perhaps a couple millennia before he fathered another really influential political and military figure.
