Mythological Family Tree, Uprooted in Advisory

11/17/2022

 
If there's one thing that students at Stanbridge Academy love, it's the Percy Jackson and the Olympians books (and how could you not?). For those tragically unfamiliar with the series, Percy Jackson and the Olympians tells the story of a number of adolescent demigods, who are children born to one human parent and one Greek God parent. During English, Teacher Julia's 12th grade advisory (not even English class!), students struck up a spontaneous conversation about how Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase, two of the books' main characters, are related. After some mapping, and some discussions about how genealogy works, we discovered that they are first cousins once removed. Not ideal when it comes to the characters' romantic arc, but awesome when it comes to unplanned conversations about literature! 

If you don't know the series - check it out!
