House of the Dragon on HBO makes some peculiar references to modern geology and ancient Greco-Roman mythology. Are these conventional usages justified given the source material by George R.R. Martin, or are they bad Hollywood writing? There is also an instance of bad grammar. Is this common in the books? I ask you to answer my questions! Thanks! Looking forward to your responses in the comments.
