Reading The Dark Prophecy: Chapter 20 (SPOILERS)

"Leg irons are fashionable / Cue the screaming god" What the fudge is the leg iron. What new torture device--

"playing my combat ukulele." Again, what makes it a combat ukulele? I have yet to see it do anything other than play regular ukulele music.

"That night I slept like the dead" Can Brieanna sleep? Can ghosts will themselves to sleep?

"I'll do my best to train your friend Calypso this morning" Complaint: we hardly get to see Leo and Calypso together. Where is my Caleo content?

"You don't have to fly. The idea was to make two ankle bracelets, but I didn't have time." Ten bucks Apollo is going to end up using the flying feature one way or another and he's just gonna get pulled by one foot swerving uncontrollably.

"Commodus blames me for his death" Because you killed him. "Why?" "Probably because I killed him." Yeah.

"Meg made a sound like a cat's sneeze." That's... an astoundingly accurate way to describe a short laugh.

"He's also vainglorious" This one's probably straightforward, but just in case... VAINGLORIOUS (adj.): excessively proud of oneself or one's achievements; overly vain Yep, just what I thought.

"So he's like your competition, then?" Lol Leo's not wrong tho

"Why Commodus? . . . Why not some eviler, more famous guy" That's what I've been wondering, too. I figured the guy who got stabbed 23 times but 60 people actually volunteered (I think the emperor's name was Julius Caesar but idk) would be one of the three. I simply assumed I was ignorant of Roman history (which I am). I looked it up. HE STARTED THE FIRST TRIUMVIRATE. HE WAS EVEN POSTHUMOUSLY DEIFIED. WHY IS THIS GUY NOT ONE OF THE VILLAINS? They're probably going to make a reference and give a good explanation later. Talking meta, it's probably because everyone already knows him and expects to see him. We already have Nero and Caligula, so having a third name that everyone's heard of would get excessive. Or, idk, maybe Rick Riordan just didn't feel like it.

"the third one, the emperor in the west" Oh, so now Meg watches her words. Doesn't care about Nero or Commodus, she just can't say Caligula's name. What's the point at the point? She's already drawn everyone else's attention. "Nero never used his name." Oh, that explains it.

"Nero took him." NERO BETTER NOT BE HURTING PEACHES

"A line of chevrons rippled on the green water" CHEVRON (n.): a line or stripe in the shape of a V or an inverted V

"I think that's another part of the same creature." Sea monster sea monster sea monster

Ooooookayyyyy we need to wait 'til next chapter to see the sea monster.

When I was a kid, my family had a collection of Julius Lester’s retellings of the Uncle Remus stories, intended to preserve the folktales while excising the framing device. The voice they were told in didn’t have a specific named character (in case, Lester said, people didn’t like one he came up with) but they did have personality, making jokes and commentary on the situations. (”Just because you die in one story doesn’t mean you have to be dead in the next- that wouldn’t be any fun!” is a line that stuck with me.)

One of the most important lessons I learned about folklore came from a story where Brer Rabbit did something bad and violent without any good reason, as trickster figures often do, to Brer Wolf. At the end of the story, the narrator addresses the reader. And he says, paraphrasing from my memory: “I don’t like this story. I don’t think what Brer Rabbit did was right, and it upsets me. But when I think about what sort of things could be done to the tellers and their families to make them want to tell a story like this, then it starts to make sense.”

When we teach inherited stories, be they religious, mythological, or folkloric, I think that’s a good way to approach it, especially when teaching to children. If they think what happens in a story was wrong, you don’t have to try and find a way to say it’s alright. You can say “Yeah, that does read as really strange. Let’s talk about it, and why people might have told it that way!”
