SUMMARY:

This dissertation aims to analyze the work Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief written by Rick Riordan, from three distinct narrative perspectives: the book, the graphic novel, and the film. In the book, Riordan utilized Greek mythology to create a narrative set in the 21st century, making it more appealing to the young adult audience. References to mythology can also be found in the adaptations of the story for the film and the graphic novel. The objective is to characterize the three forms of narrative and examine how Greek myths were adapted across different mediums. In this context, the three narratives are compared to emphasize that, despite presenting the same plot, each one is adapted to suit the particularities of each medium, resulting in transformations of the story. Centered around the story of Percy Jackson, a young demigod, the research revolves around three central axes: narrative, adaptation, and mythology.
