History of Riptide (Anaklusmos): Origins of Percy's Sword (Percy Jackson Explained)

Hi movieflame, your videos are so good and informing and pjo is one of my favourite series’s so it’s nice to finally see it being picked up by someone of your video essay caliber also yeah it’s funny that Jack was attracted to riptide and wasn’t it true that jack and apollo met once in a bar?

[@KingNedya]

That's exactly what I'm doing right now. Started maybe about a month ago, getting pretty much all my reading done at school. Just finished The Titan's Curse today, which for some reason is the book I remembered the least about (by which I mean I remembered literally _nothing_ before starting, so I'm glad I decided to reread the series).

[@damonlopez2197]

I did a few months ago. I think every book actually improves on the last one, not many series can say that

[@KingNedya]

@@damonlopez2197 Yeah, I never noticed any improvement on the books themselves, but I _did_ notice that I've been reading them faster and faster, which likely means I'm more hooked on the book. For example, it took me maybe a week or two to read the first book, but I read _half_ of the fourth book in one school day (the _only_ reading I did at home was waiting for the bus). So I was on pace to read the fourth book in two days, but I decided to play on my phone the second day instead of reading.

[@samuelbarber6177]

I was somewhat surprised in Mark of Athena when they meet Hercules and no one brings up Percy has the dude’s sword. Like, not even a mention? No?

[@rachel6239]

Only Piper and Jason meet him tho. They probably didn't know Riptide once belonged to hurcules.

It's a good thing Percy didn't meet him, ad he became friends with Zoe and with his luck he'd remember soon as he's on the island

[@samuelbarber6177]

@@jasonjones3328 let’s be honest, I doubt they’d get along, given Percy’s past with Zoë. I just kinda wish they would’ve some lip service to the fact that Percy is currently in possession of his old sword

[@moondreamer1677]

I've always thought it was kind of weird how in Heroes of Olympus Percy wanted to meet Hercules, even though he knew what Zoe went through. However, it would've been really awesome if he had went with Jason and Piper and when they were using the cornucopia against Hercules he yelled "THIS IS FOR ZOE NIGHTSHADE"

[@Scarlet_Starlight]

That’s probably what he wanted to do

[@millerjames908]

Hercules would have probably said "I don't even know who that is"

[@krisynthiagomez5883]

Which is probably why Piper made the right call in not letting Percy come, Percy and Hercules are often compared in their adventures and abilities and the fact that they are the favorite of their godly parent Zeus and Poseidon respectively, a fight between them would not end well.

[@thegoliath9310]

@@krisynthiagomez5883 a fight between them would end with Hercules licking his wounds as Percy relaxes back on the Argo. In the Riordanverse, Percy is a million times better than Hercules and is more than capable of beating a minor God.
