She is the goddess of sexual desire which makes sense as to why she has so many daughters. The myths that we have learned about are very interesting about Aphrodite. Aphrodite also made a small appearance in the first movie but a large group of her “daughters” frolic at Camp Half-Blood. But, this is one of the largest deviations from the Greek myth in Percy Jackson (The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica). She did have a smaller aspect called “Sweet Athena”, which may have resulted in a child such as Annabeth. Who is the goddess of wisdom? However, in Greek mythology, Athena was known to be child-free. Annabeth, who is the best fighter in the series is the daughter of Athena. But, in the movie, he actually has a daughter, Thalia Grace, who becomes great friends with Percy throughout the quests.
In class, we also learned that Zeus had three threats to his rule, one being a possible son that could overthrow him. In the first succession myth in the Theogony, we learned how Kronos regurgitated his children which made Zeus first-born, therefore superior.
The Theogony, which is a hymn to Zeus, talks about how he becomes king of the gods which is an important part of all the myths that everyone answers to Zeus. This is also how the movie is called “The Lightning Thief” came about.
