Vartika asked Rick Riordan:

Sir I want to know from where did you get the Greek name for Percy's sword ANAKLUSMOS? Did you come up with it yourself or does this name has got an entire myth history behind it?

Rick Riordan I asked a professor of Ancient Greek to help me with that. He said there is no surviving example of the word 'riptide' in Ancient Greek, but his guess was 'anaklusmos,' so we went with that.

Natalie asked Rick Riordan:

Hi Rick, I know this question is hypothetical currently, but if you got the chance to work on a second season of Percy Jackson, what experiences/lessons that you have from working on the first season would you think about going forward?

Cilantro_1973 asked Rick Riordan:

So, I saw a question from about 8 years ago that asked if you have read fanfictions of your books and you replied that you never have read any. Has that changed? Do you think you would read some now?
