In Rick Riordan's "Percy Jackson's Greek Gods," there’s a humorous moment where Hermes introduces Apollo to contemporary music by playing tracks from Mozart and One Direction. Apollo, always eager to capture attention, becomes excited about the idea of using these tunes to impress and attract more admirers, particularly girls.

This scene highlights Apollo's character as someone who is constantly seeking validation and admiration. His enthusiastic reaction illustrates the timeless nature of music in connecting with audiences, regardless of the era. Riordan cleverly juxtaposes ancient Greek gods with modern pop culture, making the story relatable and entertaining.
