Percy Jackson's Greek Gods is a collection of short stories about Greek mythology as narrated by Percy Jackson. It was written by Rick Riordan and was released on August 19, 2014. It features Percy Jackson giving his own take on the Greek myths in a humorous way.

The book is entitled Percy Jackson and the Greek Gods in the U.K. and much of the Commonwealth of Nations. It is generally published under the Puffin Books imprint of Penguin Group and may be presented as Percy Jackson and the Olympians, volume 6. (The Olympians novels are commonly entitled Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief rather than The Lightning Thief, and so on.)

Plot

Percy Jackson adds his own viewpoint to the Greek myths. Here he presents an introduction to Greek mythology and the 12 major gods and goddesses. With 19 chapters, this includes a variety of stories, from the early tales of Gaea and the Titans to individual tales about the gods readers, encountered in the Camp Half-Blood chronicles. Percy's irreverent voice is evident from titles such as "Hera Gets a Little Cuckoo," "Zeus Kills Everyone," "Athena Adopts a Handkerchief," and "Artemis Unleashes the Death Pig," and the stories are told in his voice with his distinctive, sarcastic yet humorous perspective.
