    Rick Riordan
    “He cleared his throat and held up one hand dramatically.
    “Green grass breaks through snow.
    Artemis pleads for my help.
    I am so cool.”
    He grinned at us, waiting for applause.
    "That last line was four syllables.” Artemis said.
    Apollo frowned. “Was it?”
    “Yes. What about I am so bigheaded?”
    “No, no, that’s six syllable, hhhm.” He started muttering to himself.
    Zoe Nightshade turned to us. “Lord Apollo has been going through this haiku phase ever since he visited Japan. Tis not as bad as the time he visited Limerick. If I’d had to hear one more poem that started with, There once was a godess from Sparta-"
    “I’ve got it!” Apollo announced. “I am so awesome. That’s five syllables!” He bowed, looking very pleased with himself.”

    Rick Riordan
    “The real story of the Fleece: there were these two children of Zeus, Cadmus and Europa, okay? They were about to get offered up as human sacrifices, when they prayed to Zeus to save them. So Zeus sent this magical flying ram with golden wool, which picked them up in Greece and carried them all the way to Colchis in Asia Minor. Well, actually it carried Cadmus. Europa fell off and died along the way, but that's not important."
    "It was probably important to her.”

    Rick Riordan
    “Hades raised an eyebrow. When he sat forward in his throne, shadowy faces appeared in the folds of his black robes, faces of torment,as if the garment was stitched of trapped souls from the Fields of Punishment, trying to get out. The ADHD part of me wondered, off-task, whether the rest of his clothes were made the same way. What horrible things would you have to do in your life to get woven into Hades' underwear?”
