I am reading House of Hades by Rick Riordan. This series is about Greek and Roman myths that come to life in the modern world. At the beginning of the series the seven protagonists are given a quest. They must overcome the challenges of Greek and Roman enemies that stand in their way. Throughout all the books I saw one major theme that the author tried to say. The theme is that teamwork makes reaching goals easier.

One way the author shows the theme, is that he incorporated it into the prophecy that the protagonists have to follow. One line of it is foes bear arms at the Doors of Death. What this line means is that enemies must work together to close the Doors of Death. Another example of teamwork is when the godess Hecate and Hazel, one of main characters, have to battle a giant. They have to work together and use magic to defeat him.

Many people overlook the power of teamwork. Most teenagers do exactly that. We are inclined to try to solve problems on our own. Sometimes if a problem is too big we get frustrated. With someone helping, a little of the pressure can be taken off of our shoulders. Hazel was very stessed about the fight with the giant throughout the book. She became more confident when she learned someone was helping her.
