TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

When in the Parthenon Museum, Annabeth (Alexandra Daddario) begins telling Percy (Logan Lerman) a story about her mother, Athena. The story she tells, is the Greek myth about how the capital city Athens got its name. The citizens of the city were arguing over which god, after whom to name the city. The two choices were Athena and Poseidon, Percy's father. Both agreed that they would bestow a gift onto the town, and whichever gift was deemed more useful, that giver would have the town named after him or her. Poseidon stuck his trident into the ground, and created a spring, from which the townspeople could use the water. Unfortunately, the water turned out to be too salty, and therefore useless. Athena presented a single olive tree. The people realized the tree had many uses: Its fruit for eating, its wood for building and burning, the oil from its fruit for cooking, and for bathing, and the pits of the olives could be planted, therefore bringing up more olive trees. The people agreed the olive tree was more useful, and therefore named the city "Athens", in honor of Athena.

Rick Riordan, who wrote the Percy Jackson books, hated the script and has never seen the complete film. But he still accepted the paycheck from the studio for the rights and has stated he is grateful for how many people discovered the books because of the films. He also strongly advocated for the novels to be readapted, which would later happen with the Disney+ series Percy Jackson and the Olympians (2024), for which he wrote most of the teleplays.

When they drive off from the casino, they are in a Maserati, which happens to have the trident as an emblem.

In Greek mythology (at least in the classical version), Athena is a daughter of Zeus, which makes Annabeth and Percy first cousins once removed. However, Percy states in the final book, the gods don't technically have DNA, and it doesn't exactly count. For example, two Hermes kids dating would be like dating your sibling, but a Hermes kid and Ares kid is okay.

Rick Riordan has called the movie his "life's work going through a meat grinder." However, he also has stated that his problems with the movie lie with the script- he does not blame the actors, and personally thinks they are quite talented. He even said he feels sorry that they were dragged into the film.

"Hades: [yelling] Persephone! What could possibly be taking so long? Don't ignore me! Persephone: [yells back] Or *what*? What will you do? [quietly] Persephone: I'm already in Hell."

"Chiron: Percy, take this to defend yourself. It's a powerful weapon. Guard it well. Only use it in times of severe distress. Percy Jackson: This is a pen. This is a *pen.*"
