The Lost Hero Resources

Websites

Rick Riordan's Website

Like it says on the tin, this is Rick Riordan's website. It includes descriptions of all his books, a biography, news, ongoing projects, Chrion's guide to Greek mythology, and everything Riordanesque. 

Camp Half-Blood Wiki

This is a user-edited encyclopedia devoted to all the Percy Jackson books, including The Lost Hero. Again, it is not official, so it should be approached with care, but it does have a ton of useful information on just about everything you can think of in the books, and some you probably haven't even noticed yet.

Ancient Greek Gods and Goddesses

This page is operated by the British Museum. It includes descriptions of each of the major Greek gods, along with important symbols and stories associated with each. Objects in the museum collection related to each God are also featured—so you can see what Apollo's lyre would have looked like.
