In "The Red Pyramid" by Rick Riordan, a character reflects on a conflict with the god Ra, who reacts to disobedience by placing a harsh punishment on the character's father, Shu-Hang. This interaction highlights the struggles between divine expectations and personal desires.
The mention of gods having names similar to everyday items adds a layer of humor and irony, as the character wishes for more unique names. This exchange emphasizes the blend of ordinary life with the complexities of ancient mythology woven throughout the story.
