More From Rick Riordan

We must have a new mythology, but it must place itself at the service of ideas, it must become a mythology of reason. mythology must become philosophical, so that the people may become rational, and philosophy must become mythological, so that philosophers may become sensible. if we do not give ideas a form that is aesthetic, i.e., mythological, they will hold no interest for people.

I just always loved mythology, ever since i was a kid. greek mythology was something i remember learning about in fourth grade, and egypt, too, and something about both those things just clicked with me. i just thought they both were so beautiful and interesting to learn about.

Okay, so, when i was a kid, definitely the drawings and the illustration. then i stopped in sixth grade or so. and then i started again when i was in my twenties. i really didn't progress since then, so the way i draw is the way i drew in sixth grade.
Kids Illustration Drawing
I'm drawn to real-life characters. a lot of the characters i play, i've had in me since second grade. i've been dragging them around my entire life, and then sometimes i marry them with different people. but seldom have i really come up with a new character. in my head it's like, "i'll pull that person out that i've been doing since sixth grade and see where they're at right now.".
Character People Different
Reading is everything. reading makes me feel like i've accomplished something, learned something, become a better person. reading makes me smarter. reading gives me something to talk about later on. reading is the unbelievably healthy way my attention deficit disorder medicates itself. reading is escape, and the opposite of escape; it's a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up, and it's a way of making contact with someone else's imagination after a day that's all too real. reading is grist. reading is bliss.

Does everyone grow the way you do?" puffed milo when he had caught up. "almost everyone," replied alec, and then he stopped a moment and thought. "now and then, though, someone does begin to grow differently. instead of down, his feet grow up towards the sky. but we do our best to discourage awkward things like that." "what happens to them?" insisted milo. "oddly enough, they often grow ten times the size of everyone else," said alec thoughtfully, "and i've heard that they walk among the stars." and with that he skipped off once again toward the waiting woods.
