Endnote: For my third genre, I chose to create a CD cover that encompasses the Olympian Gods mentioned in the Olympian series, which they are listed in the order they appear in the series itself. From a previous genre (the Greek God dictionary), I had learned of what the Gods were believed to have power over. I had thought of creative ways a reader may want to remember the different sorts of worlds the Gods control (agriculture, love, marriage), and for a younger audience (upper elementary into middle school) songs can help the readers remember who goes with what. All they would have to do is listen to the song and think of the God associated with the implied meaning within the lyrics. For resources, I had read the five books in the Olympian series written by Riordan, and had compiled enough data about the Gods both from the novels and from other online and print sources to be comfortable enough with the Gods and their controls. Riordan's identity is about Greek mythology, giving a sense of what the mythology is about to readers both young and old, and helping said readers understand the mythology with a bit of guidance helps portray his identity.
