"My name is Apollo. I used to be a god. In my four hundred and twelve years, I have done many things. I inflicted a plague on the Greeks who designed Troy. I blessed Babe Ruth with three home runs in the game four of the 1926 World Series at the 1926 World Series. I visited my wrath upon Britney Spears at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards. But in all my immortal life, I have never before crash-landed in a Dumpster."
"This time, I had less luck. The arrow embedded itself in the packed earth with a dull thunk. The ants took another step forward, acid dripping from their mouths. Behind me, Meg struggled to free herself from her cocoon, which was now covered in a shag carpet of purple flowers. She needed more time. Out of ideas, I tugged my Brazilian flag handkerchief from my neck and waved it like a maniac, trying to channel my inner Paolo 'BACK, FOUL ANTS!' I yelled. 'BRASIL'"
I liked how Apollo always cares about himself so it is funny "Meg made another snorting laugh. 'Sheesh, crybaby, you're fine.' 'I'm fat!' 'You're average. Average people don't have eight-pack abs. C'mon."
I also like how for every chapter Apollo has a stupid haiku. Here's one "Used to be godly, Now uptown feeling shoddy, Bah, haiku don't rhyme"
