Beautiful Blasphemy (36 person items)"Playing Athena
Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief
Blasphemy?
Portraying Athena as a dead-beat mom is pretty bad...socially considered even worse than the dead-beat dads we have furthur up the list, but when we take into consideration the fact that Athena is supposed to be an eternal virgin...well, let's jsut go ahead and say blasphemy here too."
