Curate, connect, and discover
(Decided to do something a little different :3 I know it isn’t CGI but I thought this might be fun to post too!)
An old hades wip I loved but will probably never finish
Here it is again for anyone who wants it! I redid the test, and I got Sadie!
Hercules: Meg...? I would never... EVER... hurt you.
Yeah, I'm not so sure about that Herc. Don't make promises you can't keep.
While Disney's Hercules would never hurt the girl of his dreams, the guy he was based on certainly would. In the original myth, Hera was hell-bent on making Heracles rue the day his father cheated on her (because somehow, that was his fault). And to get revenge, she cursed the hero with such insane rage that he actually killed his wife Megara and their children.
The poet Seneca said that Hercules grabbed one son by the arm and swung him about like a ball and chain, smashing him to a bloody pulp. Then he shot his other son with an arrow and crushed Megara's head with his club. Apollodorus claims that he threw Megara, their two sons and his nephews into a burning fire. But the darkest and saddest one has to be by Euripides who wrote a passage where Hercules' son begs for his life before being pierced by one of his father's arrows.
As grizzly as this is though, I've gotta admit, after learning about what happened in the original Greek myth, it's a wee bit funny to me that in the Disney movie he literally says that he would never hurt Meg...

“If I’m going to burn,I might as well burn bright. This is for Jason.”
-Frank Zhang (The Tyrant's Tomb, Rick Riordan)
The plot is fast paced.
This book, just like any other Rick Riordan's books, is so much entertaining. (Like 60% of the time,you'll laugh.)
And the plot the settings/theme of the scene was mind-blowing
Brilliantly written. I love Rick Riordan even more now.
It's always fun to meet new characters who are quite unique.
And the villain Roman emperor, is totally a Weirdo and just as much cruel.
I liked how RR told the current problems that are being faced in the world ,through this book. Atleast now everyone should stop cutting/burning trees. And Love Nature!
And the other 40% of the time, you'll cry. I still can't believe why RR did that!
The ending was great. It was impossible to put my book down. (to wipe tears )
Excited for the next book.
