  • Disabilities in Rick Riordan's Greek and Roman Retellings
    DISABLED HEROES: DISABILITIES IN RICK RIORDAN'S GREEK AND ROMAN RETELLINGS Katelyn Balkum A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2020 Committee: Kristen Rudisill, Advisor Esther Clinton Katherine Lynn Meizel © 2020 Katelyn Balkum All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Kristen Rudisill, Advisor Rick Riordan's middle-grade novels have been studied for the introduction of antiquities to young readers but not for the inclusion of characters with disabilities and diverse backgrounds. This project explores Riordan's use of disabilities in his Greek and Roman mythology retelling series and argues that while Riordan’s use of disabilities is positive overall, his narrative still falls into the negative effects of the supercrip narrative. These series feature demigods who have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and dyslexia because of their status as a half-god and half-mortal children. Also, other characters in the series use disabilities to hid their mythical creature features from the mortal world around them. References to the disabilities were pulled through a targeted keyword search about the disabilities or a character. The use of the learning disabilities for the demigods create an explanation for the disabilities that cause both disabilities to become nothing more than superpower abilities that the demigods have. This thesis analyzed reference to the disabilities that were pulled through a target keyword search for the disabilities and relevant characters. Adaptational references were pulled from the adaptations of the series from the films and musical. Also, other characters in the series use disabilities to hide their mythical creature features from the mortal world around them.

  • There Was Only Chaos in the Beginning As a Primeval State of Existence
    We learn from Hesiod's Theogony regarding the creation of the world that… “there was only Chaos in the beginning as a primeval state of existence. It was dark, silent, stationary and without any trace of life to infinity. Then out of silent void Gaea (the earth) and Tartarus (the sunless and terrible region beneath Gaea) appeared. They were not the only ones who appeared out of the void. Hesiod also talks about the deathless gods who hold the peaks of Olympus and Eros (the desire to re-produce) being the fairest among them. About the same time or soon after, out of Chaos, Erebus (the place of unknown where the death dwells) and Nyx (the night) were born. Erebus and Nyx, in order to restore the balance, gave birth to their opposites, Aether (the upper atmosphere just below heaven) and Hemera (the day). Meanwhile Gaea gave birth to Ourea (the mountains), Pontus (the sea) and Uranus (the heavens), with whom she had been secretly meeting in the edge place of Aether. They became a couple and gave birth to three Cyclopes, three Hecatoncheries and twelve Titans. -(Greek-gods.org) Elucidating on their imposing presence, the website adds… “The mighty Titans were a powerful race that ruled the world before Olympians, in a time of the Golden Age of men. They were immortal giants of incredible strength and knowledge of old religion rituals and magic. They are also known as the Elder Gods and their dwelling place was at Mount Othrys. In Greek culture they were interpreted as personifications of the earth (Gaea) and the sky or heavens (Uranus).” Strong, large, knowledgeable, immortal gods that personify the heavens and the earth! Wow! And, during the Golden Age of Man.

  • CSMUN XI Olympus Cabinet Topic A: Threat of the Titans Return
    CSMUN XI Olympus Cabinet Topic A: Threat of the Titans Return Historical Background Before the Olympians, the Cosmos had more horrendous rulers. These beasts were called the Titans. They originally descended from Uranus and Gaea. Mortals interpret these beings as the heavens and the Earth. They gave birth to twelve Titans, which included six females and six males. The females were named Mnemosyne, Tethys, Theia, Phoebe, Rhea, and Themis. The males Oceanus, Hyperion, Coeus, Cronus, Crius, and Iapetus. One Titan rose and took power of all the Cosmos. This unforgiving immortal was Cronus. In his fight to take power, he castrated his own father by direction of his mother. This plan was executed with his brothers and sisters.They ruled on Mount Othrys. Uranus told Cronus that their fates would be alike; he predicted that Cronus’s children would one day overthrow him too. In fear of one day losing the Cosmos, Cronus became an angered king. Always acting on impulse instead of strategy and wisdom. Eventually Cronus and Rhea gave birth to the Olympians. Still in fear of being overthrown, he ate his own children. Rhea tricked Cronus; she managed to keep one of her children safe. This child was Zeus. He was raised in a cave in Crete. Once he became a man, he went to his father’s mountain. Along with help from Metis, he put mustard in Cronus’s wine. This caused him to throw up each Olympian one by one. This event triggered Titanomachy. Titanomachy was a ten year war fought between the Olympians and the Titans.

  • The Last Olympian
    THE LAST OLYMPIAN Percy Jackson and the Olympians – Book 5 Rick Riordan ONE I GO CRUISING WITH EXPLOSIVES The end of the world started when a pegasus landed on the hood of my car. Up until then, I was having a great afternoon. Technically I wasn't supposed to be driving because I wouldn't turn sixteen for another week, but my mom and my stepdad, Paul, took my friend Rachel and me to this private stretch of beach on the South Shore, and Paul let us borrow his Prius for a short spin. Now, I know you're thinking, Wow, that was really irresponsible of him, blah, blah, blah, but Paul knows me pretty well. He's seen me slice up demons and leap out of exploding school buildings, so he probably figured taking a car a few hundred yards wasn't exactly the most dangerous thing I'd ever done. Anyway, Rachel and I were driving along. It was a hot August day. Rachel's red hair was pulled back in a ponytail and she wore a white blouse over her swimsuit. I'd never seen her in anything but ratty T- shirts and paint-splattered jeans before, and she looked like a million golden drachmas. "Oh, pull up right there!" she told me. We parked on a ridge overlooking the Atlantic. The sea is always one of my favorite places, but today it was especially nice—glittery green and smooth as glass, as though my dad was keeping it calm just for us. My dad, by the way, is Poseidon.

  • The Titanomachy
    The Titanomachy In Greek mythology, the Titanomachy (Τιτανομαχία), or War of the Titans, was the eleven-year ​ ​ ​ ​ series of battles fought between the two races of deities long before the existence of mankind: the Titans, fighting from Mount Othrys, and the Olympians, who would come to reign on Mount ​ Olympus. It is also known as the Battle of the Titans, Battle of Gods, or just the Titan War. ​ Fall of the Titans, Cornelis van Haarlem Greeks of the Classical age knew of several poems about the war between the gods and many of the Titans. The dominant one, and the only one that has survived, was the Theogony attributed to Hesiod. These Greek myths of the ​ ​ ​ ​ Titanomachy fall into a class of similar myths throughout Europe and the Near East, where one generation or group of gods by and large opposes the dominant one. Sometimes the elder gods are supplanted (as in this mythology). Sometimes the rebels lose, and are either cast out of power entirely or incorporated into the pantheon. Prior Events This stage for this important battle was set after the youngest Titan, Cronus ​ (Saturn), overthrew his own father, Ouranus, god of the Heaven and ruler of ​ ​ the universe, with the help of his mother, Gaia (the earth). Cronus then ​ ​ castrated his father, took his throne, and released his fellow Titan siblings, who had been locked away in Tartarus under Ouranus' tyrannical and selfish reign. However, as Ouranus was usurped, he made a prophecy that Cronus' own children would rebel against his rule just as he and his siblings had done to him.
