Notes from the Oracle: A Percy Jackson and Mythology Podcast

Annabeth is gone. And Percy Jackson has nothing he can do about it. Join us as we break down a chapter where the narrative slows down a bit to allow the characters to process what has transpired and introduce us to a new facet of the world of Percy Jackson: the Hunters of Artemis. Jack and Connor are discussing how this expands the world before moving into this week's myth section, where Connor is presenting a section all about the Goddess of the Hunt!This Week's Myths:ArtemisRetinueSacred AnimalsArtemis's BowArtemis Turning People into AnimalsThe Oracle's Visions!

Last chapter, the bad guys had phones. This chapter, the bad guys are pulling up with the might of the modern military industrial complex!? This book is really taking off! In this chapter, Percy Jackson and friends are engaging in a cliffside duel with the manticore, Dr. Thorne before the unexpected arrival of the Hunters of Artemis. Thalia rushed into the battle with her Aegis held high toward her foes, so join us for today's myth section where we're discussing the origins of the shield(?) of legend.

New characters! New monsters! And of course, our favorite band of demigod heroes to tackle it all!
