This may seem a bit ludacrious, but do you think that maybe Rick Riordan got some inspiration for the second Titanomachy from the Horus Heresy, in both series angry/evil gods corrupt the children of the gods/emperor that are currently in power and turn them against their own parents.

Also, on a related note, why is Horus named "Horus"? Horus is an Egyptian god, and the Thousand Sons and the Egyptian themed chapter of Astartes, so why doesn't Magnus have the name of Horus?
