Question

Which aspect of the contemporary novel The Lightning Thief best illustrates the impact of mythic literature on modern literature?

A young man attempts to prevent a world war from occurring.

A young man is studying Latin in middle school.

A young man tries to save his mother’s life.

A young man discovers that his father is actually a god.

Answer 1

The correct answer is option 4. This is because the mythic literature is based on the myths, legends or sacred stories that were born in the different communities in response to the inexplicable. These stories are carried out by supernatural or extraordinary beings, such as gods, demigods, heroes, monsters or fantastic characters, which seek to give an explanation to a fact or a phenomenon.

The Lightning Thief relates the Greek legends with people of our time, attracting young people of our generation to modern literature through magical realism.

Answer 2

I haven't read the book but based on past knowledge, I believe the answer is the last one: A young man finding out his father is a god doesn't happen everyday. It is mythology impacting literature.
