Review on Books 2 - 3

I am slowly gaining understanding of what this story is about, and am underlining less unfamiliar names. It's curious that the people in this story blame the gods for everything. 'If there's an argument, then Minerva is the cause' type of stuff. Also, I share the opinion that it's peculiar that most of the gods' names aren't in Greek, like the story. What I mean by that is that the story is supposed to be from the Greek's perspective, yet instead of Zeus, Neptune is used. And, from what I know of Greek gods (from the Percy Jackson series), Poseidon, not Zeus, is the 'lord of the Earthquake' (book 3, 1st paragraph, page 13). My confusion seems to have no end, even though some information has been revealed; the more questions that are answered, the more questions arise out of the ashes of the answers.

  1. When the book refers to lord of the Earthquakes, I think it was referring to Neptune, not Jove. I think that the reason that people blamed the gods for everything is because it was just someone they could blame or, it really was the god's fault!
