Prophecy Radio episode #108 finally discusses Chalice of the Gods chapters 12-14, which we’ve been promising for a couple weeks now!

New episodes of Prophecy Radio air weekly, and we keep our discussions PG-13.

Chalice of the Gods discussion (00:45:39)

  • This week, we’re starting off with Chalice of the Gods chapter 12.
  • We really love how much of a slice-of-life story this is.
  • Percy was impressive, but not TOO impressive.
  • The Mist really works wonders!
  • We’re kind of obsessed with Standard Olympian Beverage Number 5.
  • Percy fills Ganymede in on the plan, and even though Ganymede is nervous, he’s choosing to trust his elected demigod.
  • Percy and Annabeth chat via Iris Message, and we love their relationship so much.
  • But we still have a lot of questions about how they earn drachmas!
  • Imagine being Annabeth’s roommate lol.
  • In Chalice of the Gods chapter 13, the trio meets up with Blanche.
  • Grover is obsessed with Blanche. Karen is obsessed with Blanche. Everyone is obsessed with Blanche.
  • We get a really specific description of Iris, and her eyes sound absolutely mesmerizing.

  • Imagine that, Iris is actually a good listener.
  • And being a cupbearer is a thankless job.
  • The goddess doesn’t give information away for free, so they have a quest within a quest to accomplish.
  • We also get an official deadline for Ganymede’s quest, and it’s pretty long compared to most of the others Percy’s had to deal with over the years.
  • Where is the River Elisson and how can they possibly find it!?
  • Now the horned serpents and all the rainbows on the Chalice of the Gods UK cover make so much more sense.
Feedback (01:13:15)

  • Sean has another guess as to what could be in the box.
  • Nicolaas may have fallen behind (it’s okay!), but he was excited to jump into our discussion of all the recent Percy Jackson and the Olympians footage.
