One of the charms of the Percy Jackson series that has been carried over to the new Disney Plus adaptation of the story is the way it introduces the audience to various figures in Greek mythology. Many people out there, particularly kids who are getting into the series for the first time, are unfamiliar with Greek myths, and the Percy Jackson series is their main introduction to these classic characters and stories. Rick Riordan, author of Percy Jackson, weaves these legends into the plot in an expert way and brings ancient figures into the modern day.
