Rick Riordan Trivia Questions

1. Magnus Chase is already mentioned in "The Blood of Olympus", though not by name. But in "The Sword of Summer" we actually learn that he is the cousin of which character from the Heroes of Olympus series?

From Quiz
Who is Magnus Chase?

Answer: Annabeth

From Quiz So You Think You Know Percy Jackson Part 2

Answer: Patroclus

According to Homer, Agamemnon offended Achilles by essentially stealing his slave girl (Briseis), so Achilles refused to fight, and vowed to keep his troops out of battle until the insult to him was taken back. This was a serious blow to the Greeks, as Achilles was their best fighter. Eventually, Agamemnon offered gifts of gold and silver to Achilles if he would resume fighting. Achilles still refused, so Patroclus volunteered to dress in Achilles' armor and lead Achilles' troops, hoping that the Trojans would take him for Achilles and flee.
