Story 59: The Last Olympian, or Percy Saves the World? (Pt. 1)

Muses of Mythology

"It's all Zeus' fault."
Let's kick off the final book in Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson and the Olympians. Darien (she/her) and DJ (he/him) have so many thoughts about this book that it became the podcast's first two-parter!
Topics include who has a claim on loot (magical, flying chariot loot, or otherwise), the tragedy of mortals who cannot let go of the gods, how the deaths of underdeveloped characters can still be sad, and why Zeus is totally to blame for all this mess.
Spoilers for The Last Olympian and The Tower of Nero.
Content Warning: This episode contains mentions of and conversations about death, imprisonment, mental health crisis, abandonment, and physical violence.
