No doubt, the world Rick Riordan made and introduced Greek mythology to kids and teens has not only been entertaining but also educational. But Riordan’s legacy extends far beyond Camp Half-Blood.
While the Percy Jackson series set the world for modern mythology-based adventures, his Rick Riordan Presents books have profoundly broadened that scope, bringing attention to other countries and cultures by publishing authors who explore mythologies like Roman, Egyptian, Hindu, Korean, Hmong, and Navajo — showing readers that every part of the world has its own fascinating stories of gods and heroes.
The Heroes of Olympus Series by Rick Riordan
Set in the world of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, demigods from Camp Half-blood will clash against demigods from Camp Jupiter. The primary plot sees seven powerful demigods (including swapped heroes Percy Jackson and Jason Grace) tasked with uniting their two camps to prevent the complete resurrection of the Earth's primordial, Gaea. Their overarching quest requires them to close the Doors of Death to stop monsters from continuously flooding the world and ultimately defeat Gaea's Giant children to save humanity.
While the original Percy Jackson series only focuses on Greek Mythology, The Heroes of Olympus also features Roman Mythology (as the Roman aspects of the gods and their children).
