Did you know in the Iliad Poseidon had blue hair? I was just wondering why you did not include this in your books.
Rick Riordan
You're right that "κυανοχαίτης" (kyanokhaitēs), can be translated as "blue-haired" though it can also mean "dark-haired," just as "gray-eyed Athena" could mean "bright-eyed Athena," indicating a level of brightness rather than color. I am not an expert on Ancient Greek language, however! I just thought dark hair made more sense than blue hair, which might be a little distracting!

Do you plan on coming to michigan anytime soon? Or ever? Also, I just wanted to say I love all the books you've written, even the adult ones. I read pjo in 3rd/4th grade and they made reading so cool to me! I'm gonna be a sophomore in high school this year too. Also, are there any more pjo/hoo graphic novels coming out?

Hey Rick, my name is JD and I'm a huge fan of your work! I have a question regarding the TV show, did you review the work of the showrunners and directors personally? I know that you want to make this way better than the movies! The movies were truly... um... you know.
