The US is the nexus of Western civilization. So I guess the Greek gods just follow the white people around. Did the West die? The gods simply moved to Germany to France to Spain for a while. Wherever the flame was brightest, the gods were there. They spent several centuries in England. All you need to do is look at the architecture. People do not forget the gods. Every place they've ruled for the last 3000 years, you can see them in paintings and statues on the most important buildings. And yes, Percy, of course, they are now in your United States. It is the great power of the West. Olympus is here and we are here.
