I thought that the  simile with Apollo and the sand castle that we talked about today was very interesting and I defiantly think it showed a lot about the power and almost carelessness of the gods.Why it stuck out me in particular though was because it reminded me of a scene in a tv episode I just watched recently. In this episode, the character keeps having a dream of a little boy kicking down a sandcastle on the beach. I can't tell if the allusion is intentional, but it defiantly stuck. I'm  bit inclined to think it was intentional though i'm not quite sure in what capacity yet, as the show has used mythological allison a few times before. An episode centered on  a man cursed with immortality was titled 'Tithonus',  a fertility clinic was named Zeus genetics,  and a doomed oil rig was 'The Orpheus'.
