* ClassicalChimera: One of the statues near the emporium is a three-headed beast consisting of [[GruesomeGoat a goat]], [[NobleBirdOfPrey an eagle]], and [[KingOfBeasts a lion]] on the body of [[OurGryphonsAreDifferent a gryphon]].



* DefiantToTheEnd: The MonstrousHumanoid statues in front of the emporium (a [[BatPeople bat]]-like [[OurGargoylesRock gargoyle]] [[UnscaledMerfolk with tentacles]], a [[CreepyHairlessAnimal hairless]] anthropomorphic {{Hellhound}}, and [[TokenHuman an actual]] HumanoidAbomination [[{{Cyclops}} with one eye]]) seem to have been [[DeathGlare glaring]] at Medusa when she turned them to stone which implies they were not afraid of her.

* DisabledBadass: The wheelchair-using female camper, who Percy flubbed his attempt at archery in front of, is brought forward by Chiron as a potential candidate for one of Percy's quest-mates, implicitly making her this.

* AdaptedOut: The show simplifies the encounter with the Furies on the bus. In the book, the fight results in a fiery explosion that makes national news. [[HateSink Gabe]] capitalizes on the drama and starts a media circus chasing down the "dangerous juvenile delinquents" across the country. Here, likely for budget reasons, the bus remains intact and Gabe does not appear past the vision of him in Percy's visit to the Oracle.

* FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: However sympathetically Medusa came to be a Gorgon, she undeniably uses her curse for evil. She has petrified hundreds of humans, [[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals animals]], and monsters over the years, and makes a tidy profit off of selling her victims as outdoor décor. When the kids fail to internalize the "lessons" she is trying to teach about the gods, she decides to simply turn them to stone and send their statues to Olympus, musing that maybe then Poseidon and Athena will regret their actions.

* WhamShot: When Percy, Grover, and Annabeth go hide in Medusa's basement, they discover ''thousands of human-shaped statues''. In spite of Medusa's justified anger to the gods, she had remorselessly used her curse to turn not only monsters to stone, but also innocent people and animals, and sold them for tips (thus rendering her [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse sympathetic excuses completely moot]]).

* AdaptationalConsent: Like the book, the show uses a middle-schooler-friendly version of Medusa's myth as laid out in ''Literature/TheMetamorphoses'' by Creator/{{Ovid}}. Medusa and Poseidon were a happy couple, but she grew to resent to sea god when he didn't do anything to stop Athena from punishing her. In Ovid's version of events, Poseidon raped Medusa at the Temple of Athena, and since the goddess of wisdom couldn't punish her fellow deity, she turned Medusa into a Gorgon in retribution.
