that Greek gods exist, and have been closely observing western culture and ideas. The author draws parallels to Percy’s life, who is an American teenager, with that of Greek heroes. This parallel helps the readers to relate to the book, essentially engaging the young readers to learn about Greek mythology and the lessons of life that it teaches, in a not so bland way. The protagonist of the novel, Percy Jackson, is revealed to be special in some way. This section also develops other supporting characters, such as Chiron, Percy’s teacher, who also was mentor to Hercules and Grover, who is Percy’s sidekick, a multi-dimensional character with his own past, hopes and concerns. The association of Chiron and Percy foretells that Percy will carry on heroic deeds in future. Percy fights Minotaur, a monster that even Theseus fought and defeated. In the process of defeating Minotaur, Percy loses his mother, which he feels was his last hope to returning to his normal human life. By drawing parallels between Percy and various heroes of Greek Mythology, the author shows Percy in the light of a hero. A hero who is yet to prove his worth in the Camp Half-Blood. His encounter with Clarisse at a bathroom in camp, allows him to show his strength, which was very similar to that of his father Poseidon, but also instils in some ways fear amongst the camp

“The Story of Cronus” communicates with the theme the struggle for power since Cronus ate his children so that they wouldn’t take his throne. The myth states, “ Cronus having an uneasy conscience, was afraid that his children might one day rise up against his authority, and thus verify the prediction of his father, Uranus.” This quote shows how Cronus was afraid

Percy wakes up at a place called camp half-blood. Camp half-blood is created by magical borders in order to protect demigods so they can continue to train while being safe. After entering camp half-blood Percy learns about his identity of being a demigod. A demigod is child from a human and Greek god parent. He learns that he’s the son of one the three major Gods, Poseidon. Also, that his mother is very much alive but is kidnapped by Hades one of the three major Gods as well. Percy then goes into training and utilizes his dragon to be a positive trait that helps him settle into his new life. As his dyslexia functions for mythology and his ADHD helps him keep moving in

However, Uranus was afraid that Cronus might overpower him and one day obtain all his power. Knowing this Uranus purposely tried to kill Cronus in multiply occasions, but Gaea would always protect him. One day Gaea and Cronus made a plan to have Cronus challenge Uranus and take over his power. So it happened, Cronnus challenged his father and was victorious during their battle and Uranus was left to rot (Bernard 1) "Now Cronus had become king of gods by killing his father Uranus” (Bernard 3). In both Greek and Roman Mythology, the relationship between parents and children are distorted, strained, and bizarrely transformed, because of their greediness for power and obsessiveness to be better than the other.

He also faces Ares who also attempts to kill him. The real reason they went to the underworld was to rescue Percy's mom from Hades as he was holding her hostage and to retrieve the Lightning Bolt for Zeus. Throughout this journey Percy realizes that he is not an outcast and that he fits in and he realizes his father does care for him. Percy also realizes that he has a place at Camp Half Blood

In the beginning of the book. Percy believes that all he is, is a kid who loves his mother, has ADHD and dyslexia, and is not able to stay in the same boarding school for more than a year without being expelled. This is shown on page 10, where the narrator says, “..this was my sixth school in six years, and (I) was probably going to be kicked out again.” This quote shows that Percy does not have much confidence, and is expelled from school a lot. Also towards the beginning of the book, on page 44, Percy begins to recall multiple instances where “something creepy” had happened in a school, before he got expelled. Percy is beginning to understand that he is different, in a special way. In the middle of the book, Percy is introduced to new beliefs, a change in character, and he starts to develop a new attitude. He learns that he is a half-blood, which explains why he has ADHD and dyslexia, and also explains why he had to transfer schools so frequently. This is shown on page 93. Annabeth, Percy’s new half-blood friend, explains to Percy that most half-bloods move from school to school constantly, and are diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia. Percy began to finally realize that he wasn’t just some strange kid, who had problems with reading and staying still. He was a half-blood, and there were tons of other kids just like him. He was more confident, brave, and more willing to take risks.

As Cronus’s nephew he was obliged to fight for the Titans. They want to keep the Titans ruling throughout this “Golden Age.” Cronus’s sons and Atlas’s cousins were waging war on the Titans. Zeus was looking for vengeance. Zeus had a plan to destroy the Titans and whoever had participated would be punished for eternity. (Atlas

The story of Cronos, king of the Titans, was that he had four children with his wife Rhea. These Children are Hestia, Demeter, Poseidon, and Hades, all of whom he swallowed because his parents had warned that he would be overthrown by his child. When Zeus was born, Rhea hid him in Crete and tricked Cronos into swallowing a stone instead. Zeus grew up with nymphs and a goat named Amalthae. When Zeus heard what had happened to his siblings he gave Cronos poison, which forced Cronos to throw-up his brothers and sisters. A war was then fought between the two groups, and the Olympians won, and ruled over the

In the book, there is a boy named Grover. He is a satyr, which means half-goat, half-human. Grover is in charge of finding potential half-bloods and helping them get safely to Camp Half-Blood. The satyr would have to be a really close friend so I would say Aaron or someone like that would be my Grover. There would also have to be a crazy teacher that really hates me and wants to kill me. In the book, Percy’s math teacher is what they call a “Fury”. A Fury works for Hades, the God of the Underworld, and they believe that Percy stole Zeus’ lightning bolt. There’s also a character in the story named Annabeth. Annabeth is a daughter of Athena so we would be half-siblings. In the story, Percy and Annabeth are very good friends (sometimes) and always help each other. I would say that my Annabeth would be Dorothy or Ini. There would also have to be someone who I think is my friend, and then betrays me. In the book, this character’s name is Luke. I will not say who my Luke might be because it might sound

Zeus’ affinity for being the main character of a myth is no different in the epic myth about his fight against Cronus and the Titans or the “Titanomachy.” In this larger-than-life battle Zeus has to overthrow his father Cronus and take his predestined place as king of the gods. In this myth however, Zeus has to grow and overcome many challenges that stand in his way to greatness. Zeus has to ask for help from his mother in order to be able to free his sibling from his father Cronus who had swallowed them whole. After Zeus frees his siblings he has to face the mighty Titans, so he asks the Cyclops and the Hecatonchires to aid him in this battle that lasts

In Ancient Greece, there was believed to have been many gods who controlled specific components of the Earth. Cronus (or Kronos) was the Titan King. He was married to Rhea and they had six children: Hera, Hestia, Demeter, Poseidon, Hades, and Zeus. Kronos swallowed each of his children when they were born to avoid a prophecy that he had been told. Rhea hid her youngest child, Zeus, so he would not be swallowed by Cronus. She gave Cronus a stone wrapped in cloth to trick him, and he fell for it. Zeus grew up in hiding from his father in a cave on Crete. Since his mother had to return to Cronus, Zeus had to be raised by Amalthea, a goat, and a nymph named Melissa. They nursed him and took care of the young child. Melissa and Amalthea had to entertain Zeus very often so Cronus

He was the father of all the rivers and lakes of the world. But then the Olympians rebelled against the Titans, Zeus drove Cronus into the western ocean. When Zeus had taken his place as head of the gods, not even the oceans tides could defy him.
