I just wanted to ask this question; Why did Riordan make the allmost all important people in the history as demigods? I mean, I first didn't mind that, but it was getting ridiculous, in my opinion. It's like normal humans can't become important and they can't change the world (words from the Lost Hero; if you're not a demigod, you can not have a big impact on earth.) I do not mind such as Daedalus being a son of Athena, but others are being demigods is a little bit a crap, in my opinion.

Such as Frederic Bartholdi, George Washington, Archimedes, Amelia Earhart, Edward Teach, Harriet Tubman, Harry Houidini, Thomas Faynor, William Seward, Shakespeare, William Sherman, Wilt Chamberlain, Adolf Hitler, Louis XIV of France,  and I think there are more people who was made as demigods.

What do you guys think?
