Greek Myth In Percy's The Sea Of Monster

Percy, along with his friends Annabeth, Grover, and a newly found half brother of his, Tyson, yet again manage to save, for the most part, the Greek world and its counterparts. Rick Riordan is known for being able to tell stories of Greek Mythology by using different comedic yet mythologically accurate elements. In the second book of his Greek Mythology series, “The Sea of Monsters,” he tells the story of the protagonist and son of Poseidon, Percy Jackson, and his friends, Annabeth, Grover, and Tyson, trying to save Camp Half Blood yet again. With Percy’s natural leadership and sea-related instincts, Annabeth’s combat experience, the will to save a close friend (Grover), and Tyson’s tremendous cyclop strength and ability, saving Camp Half Blood

must have been relatively easy.
Thalia’s tree, the root and source of the invisible protective barrier that surrounds Camp Half Blood, was poisoned, causing the barrier to be weakened.

With a weakened barrier, Polyphemus, a huge cyclops that follows Kronos, sends monster wave after monster wave attempting to break into Camp Half Blood. Prior to this attack, Grover was kidnapped and taken away to Polyphemus. Percy, Annabeth, and Tyson, leave the camp in the hands of the other campers in order to save Grover and retrieve the only cure to Thalia’s Tree, a Golden Fleece. The various surprises and plot twists within this book does a well job keeping the story going and maintains its unique elements of entertainment and comedy.
This book does a great job of entertaining the reader. Its combination of comedic and fictional yet mythologically accurate creates a book that is difficult to put down after a while. The book that preceded this, “The Lightning Thief,” gave me high expectations for this book. However, this book did a splendid job of meeting and surpassing my expectations. Overall, I think that Riordan did another great job with this book’s storyline. I believe that this book does not need any additions in order to make it better since it’s as good as it can

be.
I would highly recommend this book, along with the rest of its series, to readers who look for some comedic yet accurate representations of Greek Mythology or mythology in general. “The Sea of Monsters’ and “The Lightning Thief” are two books in which I had different expectations; I had high expectations for the second book because the first book was so good, and since the second one was even as good as the first, then clearly I have high expectations for the third, which is the book I look forward to next.
