Abstract: This article deals with the analysis of pastiche in literature, particularly in “The Lightning Thief” by American author Rick Riordan. The research identifies pastiche as a term, which is applied to a literary work that is a broad mixture of things – such as themes, concepts, and characters – imitated from different literary works. The investigation reveals several examples of pastiche, which means that American author Rick Riordan, did not only use the existed mythological gods and demigods in his novel, but also applied their features to modern heroes which becomes mixture of old and modern characters. The main hero Persy Jackson is the mixture of modern hero with the features of Poseidon who was the Sea God in Greek mythology. Pastiche is used not only in the descriptions if characteristics, but also in the description of places and concepts. Pastiche makes author create new plot not only with the help of the existed heroes, but also with the new personages as well as to make the literary work more interesting.
Key words: pentalogy, pastiche, mythology, entourage.
