Rick Riordan on mythology
"And when I was a schoolchild, I loved those old stories... They have mystery, treachery, murder, loyalty, romance, magic, monsters—everything is in there. So I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t interested in mythology and that just continued when I was a teacher."— Rick Riordan, from: Episode for Families: Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief at the Met
