Percy jackson fans. read the modernized description of the underworld in ch. 18 – the ez death line, the security ghouls, the pollution in the river styx. what do you think of this portrayal of the afterlife? percy says asphodel makes him depressed because “so few people did good in their lives.” do you think believing in paradise and punishment makes people more likely to do good deeds? what do you think of the greek concept of asphodel, a neutral area where most of the dead are sent to do nothing for eternity?

Paradise and Punishment would infect encourage people to do good deeds. they wouldn't want to be stuck with the awful souls to be tortured so they are convinced if they are good then they can spend the rest of their life in a peaceful paridise with good people.

dioneo just might be like one of your friends. he is a good looking guy that can say whatever he want and get away with it. he's brings life because he can sing and play the lute. he is also dangerous because he can convince you to do anything for him because his wit is so sharp, you can not resist. dioneo is determined to take the next logical step and initiate a small campaign for freedom of speech. he does this by begging to be released from telling stories that conform to the daily theme. then, during his own time, he chooses a themes that are scandalous and he gets the response he expects.
