In the book The Mark of Athena by Rick
Riordan, I noticed that it is very hard for Romans and Greeks to get along
together. At the beginning of the book the oracle tells a prophecy. “Seven
Demigods Shall Go Forth to Save Rome”. This is where the problem begins… Since
Romans and Greeks hate each other the beginning of their mission was a little
bumpy. They always despised each other until Percy and Jason ends up saving each
other’s lives. The Romans realize that the other group still lies under the
same god but with a different name. For example Dianosys (Greek god of Wine) is
also Bacchus (Roman god of Wine).
I
also noticed there is a dramatic change in Annabeth. The prophecy also claims
“Wisdoms Daughter Walks Alone”. Annabeth must complete an extra mission given
my Minerva (who is Athena in Roman form). She has to find a way to avenge her
mother. Annabeth is sad that she will have to leave Percy and the rest of the
group. It’s hard to be without the ones that care for you and you care for.
Annabeth realizes that the quicker she finishes this mission the quicker she
can go back with her loved ones.
