Which Greek god makes the best parent?

Find out:

• Why Dionysus might actually be the best director Camp Half-Blood could have
  
• How to recognize a monster when you see one
  
• Why even if we aren’t facing manticores and minotaurs, reading myth can still help us deal with the scary things in our own lives

Plus, consult our glossary of people, places, and things from Greek myth: how Medusa got her snake hair extensions, why Chiron isn’t into partying and paintball like the rest of his centaur family, and the whole story on Percy’s mythical namesake.
