Man, the mythology in the PJO series isn't perfect , but it's a LOT better than what's happened with Greek and Roman gods in fiction before. Have you seen those stupid Goddess Girls books? Or that Disney cartoon, Hercules? What they did to Hades' character in video games and movies? Come on. Rick Riordan has more or less followed mythology, making up or changing very little. (Otis and Ephilates, for example.)

I agree completely. Rick Riordan is relatively faithful to the Ancient myths although he is not perfect but that can be expected since the novels are meant for the broader public and have no need for details. This however might lead more naïve readers to assume that all gods as portrayed by Rick Riordan and gathered on this wikia are exactly like the myths or only a bit different when that is not always the case. In the end my Janus question was a bit stupid but it annoys me just a tiny bit that the explanation of his importance is tucked away inside his description and not put somewhere more visible like was done with Fortune I believe.
