Literature Through the Eyes of the Teenager “The 21st Century Life of a Demigod”, autor Daniela Ionescu

The core of this present paper can be found in the last chapter in which a comparison is made between the classic and modern representations of the world of the gods. The old characteristics of the gods still represent them but they have also assimilated some new ones. They stopped using chariots, riding horses or flying sandals and they now drive convertible cars like Maserati Spyder or ride motorcycles. Even mythical monsters have evolved owning different businesses or shops. Medusa works at “Aunty Em” petrifying who ever visits and selling them as modern statues, while Procrustes works at “Crusty’s Water Bed Palace” where he stretches his customers.
Mythology has been used worldwide as a key element in numerous literary works, but its consistency has remained the same no matter the implications used by the author. Rick Riordan is one of those authors who use mythology but his work offers both classical and modern perspectives.
