So now we've hit like Robert Barron Paxi Kaya Monopolis in New Mexico.

Love it.

This podcast is now about labor and public transit. What's good.

Thank you so much for tuning into another episode of the Newst Olympian.

My name is Mike Schubert.

I'm the titular Newst Olympian.

I'm a 30-year-old man who never read the Percy Jackson books as a kid.

But I'm reading them for the first time as an adult because I'm on a quest to determine if this is a book series that we've all been sleeping on as a society. And I am not alone on this quest. Again, I'm joined by the lovely head of mischief management and co-host of Pottercast. Back again, it's Melissa, how's it going? Hello, is good. I had a little break between our last episode. I mean, it's been a week between our last episode and now, and I'm ready to get into chapter 12. Just like everyone else, we had to wait a full week. We've all gone through the same waiting period. We definitely didn't just let 10 minutes go by. Podcasting verite. Now, because you are qualifying now as a repeat guest, I get to ask you the repeat guest question.

Because last time we asked what's your history with the Percy Jackson books now,

have you ever done any sort of godly parent sorting quiz of sorts to see who your Greek god parent is?

If not, do you have any sort of guess or inclination as to who you feel like you are

best suited to be a daughter of?

I have not.

Ooh.

How have I never done this?

Give me some options because I always forget them.

There's a lot.

First of all, I have a question for you.

Do you have like a family tree that you work off of? Because there's a lot of parents and sisters and brothers that are parents of other sisters. It's a very confusing world. My approach is that it's so messy that I just don't worry about it. Yeah. It's like I love mess. It's like that Marie Kondo Giff. Oh, right, right, right, right. Yeah, it's very messy.

And also, I feel like the less I know, the more fun it is, because then I won't know what's happening in the story. Now, here's what we've got as options. Poseidon, Hera, Zeus, Demeter, Aphrodite, Hephaestus, Ares, Athena, Artemis, Apollos, Apollos, Hermes, Dionysus, and then I guess Hades.

Athena's the wide one, Artemis, Ares, Athena, Artemis, Apollo, Hermes, Dionysus, and then I guess Hades. Athena's the wide one, Artemis is a hunter, Ares' war. Hera, I forget, but Demeter is the home and hearth. Yeah, Demeter, in my experience, which is, Hades, a video game, is weather and nature and stuff. Right. Demeter is weather and nature and stuff. I think Hera is home and hearth. Hera, daughter of Kronus and Rhea, was associated with all aspects of the life of women. The goddess of women, marriage, and childbirth. She was also known by the Romans, as it you know. I'm going to figure out what God I was talking about, because I think that was Hestia. Hestia, yeah. I think Hestia is someone that exists in the Greek world, but I don't think

made the cut as one of the cabins in the Percy Jackson world.
