Chase also has to defeat a deformed spider woman who hates children of Athena because of their mother named Arachne to retrieve the statue. While others search through Rome to find and destroy evil giants, Otis and Ephialtes (or the “Big F”), Chase goes on a solo quest to overcome her greatest fear: spiders. The work Chase has to do is no easy task, since all she can depend on are her wits and art craftsmanship. “The Mark of Athena” looks at Annabeth Chase, the daughter of the goddess Athena, who embarks on a quest t o bring back her mother’s sacred statue, Athena Parthenos, that has been lost for over centuries. Each book focuses on a certain hero or heroes’ quest to stop Gaea from doing her evil deeds. Previous books of “The Heros of Olympus” focused on the new heroes discovering that Gaea is trying to overthrow the Olympians with her children, the giants. “The Mark of Athena” is about a group of teenagers with Olympic blood venturing to Rome on a quest to save humanity from the evil Greek earth mother, Gaea. Greek/Roman mythology itself might sound boring, with its old language and plots that often makes readers confused however, Riordan’s books might change your perspective of Greek/Roman mythology forever. Riordan’s books are full of interesting characters and gripping plot.
If readers are looking for a mix of Greek/Roman mythology and the 21st century, “The Heros of Olympus” series, by Rick Riordan who is also author of the “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” series as well as “Kane Chronicles” trilogy, is what the readers need.
