Notes

  • A history of Greek heroes, or overview of 12 heroes, purportedly written by Percy Jackson, the protagonist of the eponymous series.
  • Sequel to Percy Jackson's Greek Gods (2014), in effect both companions to both subseries Percy Jackson and the Olympians and The Heroes of Olympus, and thus to ten novels 2005 to 2014.
  • Not a novel but a retelling in saucy American teen-speak of Greek myths, now featuring Heroes where Percy Jackson's Greek Gods retells myths featuring Titans and Gods.
  • Frequent use of first person but few intrusions of material from the ten novels that feature American teen demigods.
  • Between one-page Introduction and one-page Afterword, 12 chapters feature 12 different heroes.
