He’s impulsive but also confounded by the gods and how they act. The only character that I felt acted believably, and who was somewhat sympathetic, was Perseus.
I could feel her sister’s love for her, that comes through beautifully through the prose, but Medusa’s sacrificial choices make no sense to me. Medusa is interesting, as the only mortal on an island with two immortal sisters, but we barely get to know her before she is raped by Poseidon. The book doesn’t dwell on any one character for too long, but for the most part, the gods seem to be vacuous and petty even Athena, goddess of wisdom, reminds me of a petulant child. And I have to admit, I didn’t quite like this, mostly because many of the characters seemed… well so childish.
