Which aspect of the contemporary novel The Lightning Thief best illustrates the impact of mythic literature on modern literature?

The novel draws directly on Greek mythology by making Percy the son of Poseidon, a god. This modern retelling of a mythic idea—the child of a god becoming a hero—best shows how mythic literature influences contemporary stories. The other choices describe events or details that do not as clearly reflect a mythological element.
