Am I the only one who got a little bit annoyed by how Rick Riordan always describes the Greeks as unorganized ? I mean, in the first books and everything, it was quite fine, but since the Romans entered the serie he spent way too much time to my taste describing how the Romans were mighty-powerful-organized while the Greeks were random guys without strategy.

It annoys me mainly because it's not true at all. (Heeeellooo, accurate history and proper research !) The Greeks invented the phalanx and the hoplites, the turtle and the legionnaries of the Romans being directly inspired by those. In fact, in the early years of the Republic, they were fighting exactly like the Greeks...
