Other topics include the name for a group of pegasi, Medusa’s inventory management strategy, the correct number of treats to give a multi-headed canine, weirdly specific myths Percy knows versus common ones he doesn’t, the ever-evolving perception of ancient deities, Camp Half-Blood’s strawberry-based economy, and Rick Riodran’s thrilling journey to acknowledging languages older than Ancient Greek. Spoilers for Wizards 101, Descendants, Kingdom Hearts III, Lore Olympus, and Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey.
