"Look, I didn't want to be a half blood." Nearly 20 years ago, that simple sentence renewed youthful interest in Greek mythology, and shockingly, there have been three adaptations (four if you count the graphic novel) of this modern myth about a troubled preteen boy who discovers he's a descendant of the Greek gods, and this month, we at In Each Retelling are exploring them all, beginning with the novel that Jasmine missed out on while focusing on the works of more problematic authors, and is now being given a proper fandom welcome by Sam and River, two nearly lifelong fans.
