Demigods are the direct result of a God, and human mating to create a God- human hybrid. Demigods are born when a god forms a relationship with a mortal. They sometimes retain physical traits from their divine parents, like hair and eye color, or personality traits, like cunning or bravery. Q: If two demigods had a child , would that child be a quarter-blood, a demigod , or what? A: Most half-bloods at Camp Half-Blood don't live long enough to have children.
If they did have children, the kids would probably pass for normal mortals, since the godly powers get diluted with each generation. Who killed Zeus? His myth is very different. Asclepius is said to have been killed by Zeus as Asclepius had brought back Hippolytus back from the dead in exchange for gold. This angers Hades who asks Zeus to kill him. Zeus kills him with his thunderbolt. Is Thor a god or demigod? Thor—Norse god, Marvel superhero, and Hollywood eye candy—presents those of us living in the real world with a few problems.
Can a demigod kill a god? Demigods are Immortal and extremely difficult to kill due to the holy connection to their parental Gods or Goddesses that also watch over them like Guardian Angels. Not even beheading or incineration in standard flames gets the job done most of the time.
It is said only a God or another Demigod can kill one. Who are the 7 demigods? The second line refers to either Leo or Jason as the one who was destined to defeat Gaea. Does Annabeth marry Percy?

Omegacron I could make a joke about Charon, the Greek god who ferried souls across the river Styx into the afterlife, who had to be paid using spare coins left on the eyes of bodies as they were buried, but that would just be nerdy.
Only a nerd would make that joke. No one else. Only a nerd. I'm a nerd. Mathematically a child of two half-gods will be a half-god themselves. Show 13 more comments. Active Oldest Votes. According to Rick Riordan's faq page: Q: If two demigods had a child, would that child be a quarter-blood, a demigod, or what?
Improve this answer. Shisa Shisa Add a comment. Ans: A demigod. In ancient times: A demigod or demi-god is a divine or supernatural being in classical mythology. Wikipedia: Demigod This implies any being who has through: their physical prowess, skill at arms, superhuman intelligence could achieve godhood and thus become through apotheosis, a demigod.
In the modern parlance: The term demigod first appeared in English in the late sixteenth or early seventeenth century when it was used to render the Greek and Roman concepts of semideus and daemon.
John Milton states in Paradise Lost that angels are demigods. Rick Riordan's FAQ corroborates my suspicions: "If they did have children, the kids would probably pass for normal mortals , since the godly powers get diluted with each generation. Community Bot 1.

These are all arranged by the publisher many months in advance, not by me. While I visited hundreds of schools in the past and loved meeting young readers, the travel was hard on my family and my writing deadlines suffered.
Because of this, I no longer arrange any events outside the book tours — this includes school visits, online events Skype, Zoom, etc. Right now the most important way I can connect with young readers is to write the best books I can as quickly as I can, but thanks for your interest! I love meeting my readers! The only bad thing is that there is only one of me and there are so many places to visit.
Each time a book comes out, the publisher schedules a tour, but we usually only have time to go to eight cities at the maximum, and that's just for the U. The publisher decides where to send me. I don't make the tour. They try to send me to different places each time, but still, they can't possibly send me everywhere. That means it's unlikely I'll be in your area on any given tour.
I'm never able to travel internationally for tours just because I have to spend most of my time writing, and travel is very time-consuming. I'd love to visit all the countries where my books are published, but if I did that, it would take me five to ten years to write each book, and I don't think you want to wait that long! So, no, if you live outside North America, you will not see me on tour. Remember you can order signed books from any store that hosts an event, however, as described above.
Most stores ships internationally. I know it says I can't email you, but can I email you anyway? The best way that I can communicate with you is by writing the best story I can for you to read, and writing it as quickly as I can.
Thanks for understanding! No, never. I am aware of fanfic, but I go out of my way to avoid it. For one thing, it's legally tricky ground. I can't actively endorse anyone else using my copyrighted material.
I also don't want anyone claiming later on, "Hey, you got that idea from my fan fiction! It's like somebody getting into my closet and trying on my clothes. It's just weird seeing someone else try to write about my characters. Then again, I can't listen to the audio versions of my books. It drives me crazy hearing another voice beside my own narrating my stories. And, as I've explained many times, I also couldn't watch the Percy Jackson movie for much the same reason.
Is there really a Camp Half-Blood, and can you make one in my town? I do not officially endorse or license any of these camps, and am not involved with them in any way.
Running a camp takes a huge amount of time and energy, which is why only a few places in the US have them. Can I get Camp Half-Blood t-shirt? Many years ago, I used to give out Camp Half-Blood t-shirts for freebies at events, but I can't do that anymore. It caused problems, because I could only give out a few, and some people who didn't get t-shirts felt really bad or parents got upset.
Those t-shirts are long gone! Occasionally the publisher will print T-shirts for promotional giveaways at events, but I don't have any extras to share. I don't sell t-shirts. It's just not something I have the time or inclination to do, since most of my time needs to be spent writing the books, right?
However, many fans make their own Camp Half-Blood t-shirts, and they are much more creative than anything I could come up with. If you want to do that, go for it! You will also see unlicensed shirts for sale online, but be aware I have nothing to do with such products and they are not sanctioned by me or Disney. I'm doing a report for school.
Can you give me some information? The website has a ton of information for school reports. And please be careful of using Wikipedia. It's very often wrong. Good luck with your project! I need something else to read! Can you recommend any books? You bet! The best place to go is my Goodreads page , where I have reviews for hundreds of books I've enjoyed, both children's and adult titles. You got something wrong from Greek mythology!
I love my readers because you guys are very astute and you know your mythology. But wait, what do you mean by "wrong"? Remember Greek mythology has been around for thousands of years, and it was retold over and over again, the details changing as different storytellers brought the myths to different cities.
There are so many different versions of each myth. You may have read one version from a mythology book, but that doesn't mean it is the "right" version or the only version. I tend to pick the version I like best, and the one that fits best into Percy Jackson's world. For instance: Some myths say Hephaestus was the son of Zeus and Hera. Others claim he was the son of only Hera, with no father. Hephaestus was either born ugly, or he became ugly when he was thrown down the mountain — depends on which version you read.
Either Hera threw him down, or Zeus did. In some versions, he fell down Mount Olympus twice! Again, depends on the version you read. Which version is "right"? Pick the one you like best! But that doesn't mean the other versions are wrong. They are just different. I stick pretty closely to the myths, but I do favor some versions over others. Where I do bend the stories — like giving Athena demigod children or making Percy the son of Poseidon — I try to explain myself in the books.
What about writing books based on other mythologies, like Indian or Chinese? So many great mythologies! I'm not an expert on all of them, though, and I think it's better to let a writer who know those subjects write about them. That's one of the reasons I started the imprint Rick Riordan Presents. You can read about it here. Do you have any advice for writers? Most importantly: read a lot. You'll learn how to craft a good story by reading a wide variety of different styles and genres.
The best writers are voracious readers. Second, write a lot. Writing is like a sport. To get better, you must practice. Build your writing muscles by writing a little bit every day.
Also, don't think what you write has to be perfect on the first draft. No writer ever born could write a perfect first draft. The main thing is to finish what you start. Then go back and revise, and revise, and revise. How do you tackle writer's block?
Plan what you're going to write before you write it! Sketch out the main points. That way you won't get to the middle and lose steam well, maybe not as much, anyway.
Power through! It's always more fun and easier to start a story than to finish it, because finishing is hard work. I have two binders full of half-finished stories from when I was young. It was a long time before I ever forced myself to finish something. Finally, Don't give up! I knew I wanted to be a writer when I was twelve.
