Abstract:
This research analyzed the heroic portrayal of the main character, Percy Jackson, in Rick Riordan's novel "Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief." The study aimed to examine the literary work and used a psychological approach to analyze Percy Jackson's psychological aspects as the central character. The theoretical framework utilized was "The Eight Traits of Heroes," developed by Scott Allison and George Goethals, encompassing traits such as caring, charismatic, inspiring, reliable, resilient, selfless, intelligent, and strong. The findings of this research indicated that Percy Jackson displayed all eight heroic traits in the novel. Additionally, the study employed "The Three Major Components of Heroes" to trace Percy Jackson's hero development throughout the story. However, it was noted that Percy also possessed a few non-heroic traits, including contemplating harm towards a bully and expressing anger towards a monster that caused his mother's death, revealing a vengeful aspect of Percy's character.

Abstract:
Karya sastra yang berkembang pesat saat ini adalah novel. Cover pada novel berperan penting dalam menarik perhatian calon pembaca. Ilustrasi cover pada novel harus dibuat semenarik mungkin karena pembaca cenderung beranggapan bahwa cover novel memiliki pesan yang akan mewakili isi novel. Cover novel yang akan diteliti adalah cover buku seri “Percy Jackson and The Olympians” karya Rick Riordan dengan genre fantasi. Buku seri ini terdiri dari 5 buah novel yang cover-nya dapat dikatakan berhasil mewakili isi dari masing-masing buku tersebut. Studi ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis cover buku seri “Percy Jackson and The Olympians” dengan menggunakan metode teori semiotika dari Charles Sanders Peirce untuk memaknai tanda-tanda visual yang ada pada cover buku. Hal ini dilakukan dengan mengkaji visualisasi, warna dan hubungan tanda dengan makna cover. Jadi, hasil penelitian adalah terbentuknya persepsi yang merupakan pesan pada cover buku seri “Percy Jackson and The Olympians” sehingga dapat mewakili isi buku tersebut.

Abstract:
This article examines the depiction of characters in the Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan, with a focus on both gender and Greek mythology. The analyses aim to find out how Riordan portrays his characters regarding gender stereotypes, and how he has adapted Greek mythological figures to fit into a narrative in the 21st century. It has been identified how The Percy Jackson books take place in a world where Greek mythology is real. By using gender theory and discussing women’s role in Ancient Greek society, the analyses and discussion can provide a broader view of the representation shown in Riordan’s books.

Abstract:
Many genres of fictional novels are considered groundbreaking for complex plots and psychologically interesting characters. Little attention has been focused on how fantasy can be groundbreaking. This exploratory case study centers on how the five-novel series Percy Jackson & the Olympians, and its five-part sequel The Heroes of Olympus, speaks to a reading community of eighth grade female adolescent readers. This study traces the development of social inquiries of gender inequality, heroism and imperfection, and good and evil from these readers’ interactions with characters and events in the world of Percy Jackson.

Abstract:
Buchbinder (2011:128) writes that adaptations are often regarded as barely a step away from plagiarism; however, he notes that ‘much of the literary output of classical Greek culture, for instance, consisted of reworkings of already familiar narratives’. His point is not only true of the classical Greek output, but of a contemporary adolescent fantasy saga, Riordan’s Percy Jackson and the Olympians (2006–2011), which retells many of the classical Greek mythological narratives in a contemporary setting. Given that many adolescent audiences may be unfamiliar with the root narratives, the Percy Jackson and the Olympians saga serves the function of re-introducing an audience to classical mythology, thereby helping them to rediscover their value. This article argues that by skilfully adapting and appropriating the monomythic hero-journeys of Greek mythology, and by retelling them within a contemporary narrative, Riordan is creating a space where readers, possibly unfamiliar with the root classical narratives, can re-discover classical mythology.
