* The "Fury" of War: The war between the Olympians and the Titans is frequently personified as a raging beast, a force of nature that consumes everything in its path.
* The "Hungry" City: New York City, the battleground for the final confrontation, is often described as "hungry" and "thirsting" for power. This personification highlights the city's role as a neutral player that is ultimately affected by the war.
* The "Sleep" of the World: When the barriers between the worlds are weakened, the "sleep" of the world is threatened. This personifies the sense of tranquility and order that is disrupted by the war.
These are just a few examples, and there are likely others throughout the book. Riordan uses personification to emphasize the gravity of the situation and the emotional impact of the war on both the characters and the world.
It's important to note that these are different from the personified Greek gods and goddesses who are actual beings, rather than metaphorical representations.
