Gaea and Ouranos’s

Kronos - King Titan, ate his kids (gods). Wife (Rhea) hid Zeus. Zeus fed Kronos stones (a mixture of
mustard and wine), which made him disgorge his other five children (Poseidon, Hades, Hera, Demeter),
who, of course, being immortal gods, had been living and growing up completely undigested in the Titan's
stomach.

Fight between gods and Titans. Gods won. The gods defeated their father, Zeus sliced him into thousand
pieces with his own scythe, and scattered his remains in Tartarus, the darkest pit of the Underworld.

Kronos also sliced his own father, Ouranos.

of Uranus and Gaia, like all the Titans. There. Ocean is the father of all the
rivers and the springs. During the war of the Olympians and the Titans, Rhea,
wife of Cronus and mother ofZeus and Hera, had sent Hera to Ocean and Tethys
for safekeeping.

The Great
Bear is referred to as "she" (570) because she was originally the nymph Calllsto,
who ranged the woods as one of the virgin companions of the goddess Anemis.
Zeus made her pregnant. and when this could no longer be concealed, Artemis
changed her into a bear and killed her. Zeus in turn changed her into the
constellation.

World War II was basically a fight between the sons of Zeus and Poseidon on one side, and the sons of
Hades on the other. The winning side, Zeus and Poseidon, made Hades swear an oath with them: no
more affairs with mortal women. They all swore on the River Styx (underworld).

children of the Big Three have powers greater than other halfbloods. They have a strong aura, a scent

Naiads are terrible flirts, teenage girls sitting cross-legged at the base of the pier, about twenty feet below.
They wore blue jeans and shimmering green T-shirts, and their brown hair floated loose around their

Heroes gone on quests to the Underworld - Orpheus. Hercules. Houdini

Dionysus's kids - good athletes, but only 2


Demeter's kids - edge with nature skills and outdoor stuff but weren't very aggressive
Aphrodite's sons and daughters - mostly sat out and checked their reflections in the lake and did their hair
and gossiped
Hephaestus's kids - weren't pretty, and there were only four of them, but they were big and burly from
working in the metal shop all day.

Apollo - archery
Dionysus - God of wine; vine plants
Hermes, a kind of
Nemesis, the god of revenge
Oracle - I am the spirit of Delphi, speaker of the prophecies of Phoebus Apollo, slayer of the mighty
Python.

Zeus’ Lightning bolt - two-foot-long cylinder of high-grade celestial bronze, capped on both ends with god-
level explosives; symbol of his power, from which all other lightning bolts are patterned. The first weapon
made by the Cyclopes for the war against the Titans, the bolt that sheered the top off Mount Etna and
hurled Kronos from his throne; the master bolt, which packs enough power to make mortal hydrogen
bombs look like firecrackers.

During the winter solstice, at the last council of the gods, Zeus and Poseidon had an argument. The usual
nonsense: 'Mother Rhea always liked you best,' Air disasters are more spectacular than sea disasters,' et
cetera. Afterward, Zeus realized his master bolt was missing, taken from the throne room under his very
nose. He immediately blamed Poseidon. Now, a god cannot usurp another god's symbol of power directly
—that is forbidden by the most ancient of divine laws. But Zeus believes your father convinced a human
hero to take it. Zeus has good reason to be suspicious. The forges of the Cyclopes are under the ocean,
which gives Poseidon some influence over the makers of his brother's lightning. Zeus believes Poseidon
has taken the master bolt and is now secretly having the Cyclopes build an arsenal of illegal copies,
which might be used to topple Zeus from his throne. The only thing Zeus wasn't sure about was which
hero Poseidon used to steal the bolt.

Poseidon and Hera and a few other gods trapped Zeus and wouldn't let him out until he promised to be a
better ruler. And Zeus has never trusted Poseidon since. Of course, Poseidon denies stealing the master
bolt. He took great offense at the accusation. The two have been arguing back and forth for months,
threatening war

Anaklusmos/Riptide - pen grew longer and heavier in my hand. In half a second, I held a shimmering
bronze sword with a double-edged blade, a leather-wrapped grip, and a flat hilt riveted with gold studs;
sword is celestial bronze. Forged by the Cyclopes, tempered in the heart of Mount Etna, cooled in the
River Lethe. It's deadly to monsters, to any creature from the Underworld, provided they don't kill you first.
But the blade will pass through mortals like an illusion. They simply are not important enough for the
blade to kill. And I should warn you: as a demigod, you can be killed by either celestial or normal
weapons. You are twice as vulnerable

The Time of the Titans was the Fourth Age, sometimes called the Golden Age, which is definitely a
misnomer. This, the time of Western civilization and the rule of Zeus, is the Fifth Age.

Time before Gods was a time of darkness and savagery for mortals. Kronos, the lord of the Titans, called
his reign the Golden Age because men lived innocent and free of all knowledge. But that was mere
propaganda. The Titan king cared nothing for your kind except as appetizers or a source of cheap
entertainment. It was only in the early reign of Lord Zeus, when Prometheus the good Titan brought fire to
mankind, that your species began to progress, and even then Prometheus was branded a radical thinker.
Zeus punished him severely, as you may recall. Of course, eventually the gods warmed to humans, and
Western civilization was born

Athena caught Poseidon with his girlfriend (Medusa) in Athena's temple, which is hugely disrespectful.
Another time, Athena and Poseidon competed to be the patron god for the city of Athens. Poseidon
created saltwater spring for his gift. Athena created the olive tree. The people saw that her gift was better,
so they named the city after her.
Athena turned Medusa into a monster. Medusa and her two sisters who had helped her get into the
temple, they became the three gorgons.

The God of Wild Places disappeared two thousand years ago. A sailor off the coast of Ephesos heard a
mysterious voice crying out from the shore, 'Tell them that the great god Pan has died!' When humans
heard the news, they believed it. They've been pillaging Pan's kingdom ever since. But for the satyrs, Pan
was our lord and master. He protected us and the wild places of the earth. We refuse to believe that he
died. In every generation, the bravest satyrs pledge their lives to finding Pan. They search the earth,
exploring all the wildest places, hoping to find where he is hidden, and wake him from his sleep."

Polyphemus – Cyclops; It's the reason no satyr has ever returned from this quest. He's a shepherd,

Argus - head of security, got fired

Pegasus - winged horses; only one immortal winged horse named Pegasus, who still wandered free

named after the first and greatest

counselors and satyrs were stockpiling weapons in the tool shed


Dryads armed with bows and arrows talked nervously at the edge of the woods

Hephaestus cabin—six guys led by Charles Beckendorf, a big fifteen-year-old African American kid. He
had hands the size of catchers' mitts and a face that was hard and squinty from looking into a blacksmiths
forge all day. He was nice enough once you got to know him, but no one ever called him Charlie or Chuck
or Charles. Most just called him Beckendorf. Rumor was he could make anything. Give him a chunk of
metal and he could create a razor-sharp sword or a robotic warrior or a singing birdbath for your
grandmother's garden

Naiads came up from the canoe lake.


Dryads melted out of the trees. From the meadow came a dozen satyrs, who reminded me painfully of

Jason and the Argonauts


The real story of the Fleece: there were these two children of Zeus, Cadmus and Europa. They were
about to get offered up as human sacrifices, when they prayed to Zeus to save them. So, Zeus sent this
magical flying ram with golden wool, which picked them up in Greece and carried them all the way to
Colchis in Asia Minor. It carried Cadmus. Europa fell off and died along the way. When Cadmus got to
Colchis, he sacrificed the golden ram to the gods and hung the Fleece in a tree in the middle of the
kingdom. The Fleece brought prosperity to the land. Animals stopped getting sick. Plants grew bet-ter.
Farmers had bumper crops. Plagues never visited. That's why Jason wanted the Fleece. It can revitalize
any land where it's placed. It cures sickness, strengthens nature, cleans up pollution.

The Sea of Monsters. The same sea Odysseus sailed through, and Jason, and Aeneas, and all the
others. the Sea of Monsters is the sea all heroes sail through on their adventures

Hercules Busts Heads - thermos. Uncap it, and you will release the winds from the four corners of the
earth to speed you on your way. Not now! And please, when the time comes, only unscrew the lid a
tiny bit. The winds are a bit like me—always restless

Minotaur-shaped - lemon ones, yes. The grape ones are Furies, I think. Or are they hydras? At any rate,
these are potent. Don't take one unless you really, really need it; Nine essential vitamins, min-erals,
amino acids ... oh, everything you need to feel your-self again

Hippocampus -fish ponies

Boat Princess Andromeda - three-story-tall woman wearing a white Greek; chiton sculpted to look as if
she were chained to the front of the ship. She was young and beautiful, with flowing black hair, but her
expression was one of absolute terror; I remembered the myth about Andromeda and how she had been
chained to a rock by her own parents as a sacrifice to a sea monster

Zeus - son Perseus; Perseus was one of the only heroes in the Greek myths who got a happy ending

Agrius and Oreius –


Aphrodite ordered their mother (young woman) to fall in love. The young woman refused and ran to
Artemis for help. Artemis let her become one of her maiden huntresses, but Aphrodite got her revenge.
She bewitched the young woman into falling in love with a bear. When Artemis found out, she abandoned
the girl in disgust. Typical of the gods, wouldn't you say? They fight with one another and the poor
humans get caught in the middle. The girl's twin sons here, Agrius and Oreius, have no love for Olympus.
They like half-bloods well enough, though.
Hydra - Each head was diamond-shaped, like a rattlesnake's, but the mouths were lined with jagged rows
of sharklike teeth; wounded neck split into two necks, each of which grew a full-size head; The Hydra's
heads would only stop multiplying if we burned the stumps before they regrew. That's what Heracles had
done, anyway. But we had no fire.

Only way into the Sea of Monsters. Straight between Charybdis and her sister Scylla.
To the north, a huge mass of rock rose out of the sea—an island with cliffs at least a hundred feet tall.
About half a mile south of that, the other patch of darkness was a storm brewing. The sky and sea boiled
together in a roaring mass.
Charybdis sucks up the sea. And spits it back out again. Scylla lives in a cave, up on those cliffs. If we get
too close, her snaky heads will come down and start plucking sailors off the ship

Charybdis was nothing but a huge black maw with bad teeth alignment and a serious overbite, and she'd
done nothing for centuries but eat without brushing after meals. As I watched, the entire sea around her
was sucked into the void— sharks, schools of fish, a giant squid

Athena - invented the loom

Circe - My mother is Hecate, the goddess of magic.

island of the Sirens - Sirens sang so sweetly their voices enchanted sailors and lured them to their death;
sing the truth about what you desire. They tell you things about yourself you didn't even realize. That's
what's so enchanting. If you survive ... you become wiser.

Nobody was the trick Odysseus had used to trick Polyphemus centuries ago, right before he poked the
Cyclops's eye out with a large hot stick

Celestial bronze - part god, part human. You live in both worlds. You can be harmed by both, and you can
affect both. That's what makes heroes so special. You carry the hopes of humanity into the realm of the
eternal. Monsters never die.
They are reborn from the chaos and barbarism that is always bubbling underneath civilization, the very
stuff that makes Kronos stronger. They must be defeated again and again, kept at bay. Heroes embody
that struggle. You fight the battles humanity must win, every generation, in order to stay human

The titan Kronos is centaur’s father - Chiron

Draco Aionius - Lizard with breath that blows up stuff

Owls - symbol of Athena

The Great Stirring (stirring of monsters)


The worst of them, the most powerful, are now waking. Monsters that have not been seen in thousands of
years. They will cause death and destruction the likes of which mortals have never known. And soon we
shall have the most important monster of all—the one that shall bring about the downfall of Olympus.

Shield - Aegis—a gift from Athena; has the head of the gorgon Medusa molded into the bronze, and even
though it won't turn you to stone, it's so horrible, most people will panic and run at the sight of it.

Manticore - face still human, but his body that of a huge lion. His leathery, spiky tail whipped deadly
thorns in all directions.

Zoe Nightshade - hunters

Old sea spirits making trouble. Aigaios. Oceanus; immortals who ruled the oceans back in the days of the
Titans. Before the Olympians took over. The fact that they were back now, with the Titan Lord Kronos and
his allies gaining strength, was not good.
Typhon was truly a bane of Olympus. Or the sea monster Keto

Blackjack - black pegasus


Guido and Porkpie - white pegasi

Nemean Lion

Mountain of Despair - After the war between the Titans and the gods, many of the Titans were punished
and imprisoned. Kronos was sliced to pieces and thrown into Tartarus. Kronos's right-hand man, the
general of his forces, was imprisoned, on the summit, just beyond the Garden of the Hesperides. If it
hadn't been for the enormous dragon, the garden would've been the most beautiful place ever seen. The
grass shimmered with silvery evening light, and the flowers were such brilliant colors they almost glowed
in the dark. Stepping stones of polished black marble led around either side of a five-story-tall apple tree,
every bough glittering with golden apples (apples of Immortality - Hera's wedding gift from Zeus)

Ladon, the dragon, is trained to protec the five-story tall apple tree. He is too strong. Skirt around the
edges of the garden. Go up the mountain to my father (Atlas). Ladon opened his mouths. The sound of a
hundred heads hissing at once.
Zoe used to feed Ladon by hand with lamb’s meat.

Zoe helped Hercues. If you must fight, take this. My mother, Pleione, gave it to me. She was a daughter
of the ocean, and the ocean's power is within it. My immortal power. Five daughters. My sisters and I. The
Hesperides; the girls who lived in a garden at the edge of the West. With the golden apple tree and a
dragon guarding it (Ladon)

The ruins of Mount Othrys - At the top of mountain were ruins, blocks of black granite and marble as big
as houses. Broken columns. Statues of bronze that looked as though they'd been half melted.

Mount Othrys - The mountain fortress of the Titans In the first war, Olympus and Othrys were the two rival
capitals of the world. Othrys was blasted to pieces

This is Atlas's mountain where he holds the sky; Atlas the general of the Titans and terror of the gods;
Atlas is Zoe’s father

This is the point where the sky and the earth first met, where Ouranos and Gaia first brought forth their
mighty children, the Titans. The sky still yearns to embrace the earth. Someone must hold it at bay, or
else it would crush down upon this place, instantly flattening the mountain and everything within a
hundred leagues. Once you have taken the burden, there is no escape. Unless someone else takes it
from you.

If it were so easy, he would have escaped long ago. No, my son. The curse of the sky can only be forced
upon a Titan, one of the children of Gaia and Ouranous. Anyone else must choose to take the burden of
their own free will. Only a hero, someone with strength, a true heart, and great courage, would do such a
thing. No one in Kronos's army would dare try to bear that weight, even upon pain of death."

Lord of the Wild - Pan


The gift from the Wild - Erymanthian Boar - Hercules had fought this thing once;

Helen and Paris - start the Trojan War

Talos - Hephaestus’ creations; metal giant;

Hoover Dam - dedicated to Zeus when the dam was built; gift from Athena
Nereus, the Old Man of the Sea. He has a long memory and a sharp eye. He has the gift of knowledge
sometimes kept obscure from my Oracle.

Ophiotaurus - sea cow; serpent bull; The Fates ordained a prophecy eons ago, when this creature was
born. They said that whoever killed the Ophiotaurus and sacrificed its entrails to fire would have the
power to destroy the gods. The first time, during the Titan war, the Ophiotaurus was in fact slain by a
giant ally of the Titans, but thy father, Zeus, sent an eagle to snatch the entrails away before they could
be tossed into the fire. It was a close call. Now, after three thousand years, the Ophiotaurus is reborn.

Manticore - Long ago, the gods banished me to Persia. I was forced to scrounge for food on the edges of
the world, hiding in forests, devouring insignificant human farmers for my meals. I never got to fight any
great heroes. I was not feared and admired in the old stories! But now that will change. The Titans shall
honor me, and I shall feast on the flesh of half-bloods!

They know that Mount Othrys is rising in the West. They know of Atlas's attempt for freedom, and the
gathering armies of Kronos. At my Lord Zeus's command, Artemis and Apollo shall hunt the most
powerful monsters, seeking to strike them down before they can join the Titans' cause. Lady Athena shall
personally check on the other Titans to make sure they do not escape their various prisons. Lord
Poseidon has been given permission to unleash his full fury on the cruise ship Princess Andromeda and
send it to the bottom of the sea

Empousa, servants of Hecate; dark magic formed it from animal, bronze, and ghost; exists to feed on the

Dedalus - Labyrinth builder; labyrinth has entrances everywhere. In the old days, Ariadne’s string guided
Theseus out of the maze. It was a navigation instrument of some kind, invented by Daedalus

Dedalus helped the Athenian killed King Minos’ Minotaur; turned King Minos’ daughter against him
You love your maze so much,” the king said, “I have decided to let you stay here. This will be your
workshop. Make me new wonders. Amuse me. Every maze needs a monster. You will be mine. He
picked up his project, metal wings constructed from thousands of interlocking bronze feathers. There
were two sets. Daedalus stretched the frame, and the wings expanded twenty feet. Metal feathers caught
the light and flashed thirty different shades of gold. The sea would wet the wax seals, and the sun’s heat
would loosen them.

You let my daughter escape, old man. You drove my wife to madness. You killed my monster and made
me the laughingstock of the Mediterranean. You will never escape me. Icarus grabbed the wax gun and
sprayed it at the king, who stepped back in surprise. The guards rushed forward, but each got a stream of
hot wax in his face. Then zoomed across the city of Knossos and out past the rocky shores of Crete.
“Father!” Icarus cried. And then he fell, the wings stripped away until he was just a boy in a climbing
harness and a white tunic, his arms extended in a useless attempt to glide.

Dedalus is Athena’s son


Icarus - Dedalus’ son
Perdix - Deadlus’ nephew, murdered by him

Daedalus started well enough. He helped the Princess Ariadne and Theseus because he felt sorry for
them. He tried to do a good deed. And everything in his life went bad because of it. Was that fair?” The
god shrugged. “I don’t know if Daedalus will help you, lad, but don’t judge someone until you’ve stood at
his forge and worked with his hammer, eh?”

Theseus had the help of Ariadne. Harriet Tubman, daughter of Hermes, used many mortals on her
Underground Railroad for just this reason

Theseus - fighting the Minotaur and stuff; “My stepfather died,” Theseus remembered. “He threw himself
into the sea because he thought I was dead in the Labyrinth. I wanted to bring him back, but I could not.”
“The Labyrinth is treacherous. There is only one thing that saw me through: the love of a mortal girl. The
string was only part of the answer. It was the princess who guided me.”

Two faced - Janus,” both faces said in harmony. “God of Doorways. Beginnings. Endings. Choices.”

“I am Hera.” The woman smiled. “Queen of Heaven.” Hera tried to kill Hercules; he was one of my loving

Minor Gods
Janus. Hecate. Morpheus

Briares - Hundred Handed Ones


When the Titans ruled, they imprisoned Gaea and Ouranos’s earlier children—the Cyclopes and the
Hekatonkheires

“The Hundred-Handed Ones - had a hundred hands. They were elder brothers of the
Cyclopes.; very powerful, wonderful, as tall as the sky; so strong they could break mountains
Kampê was the jailer,” he said. “She worked for Kronos. She kept our brothers locked up in Tartarus,
tortured them always, until Zeus came. He killed Kampê and freed Cyclopes and Hundred-Handed Ones
to help fight against the Titans in the big war. And now Kampê is back.

Mount St. Helens - that’s where the monster Typhon is trapped, you know. Used to be under Mount Etna,
but when we moved to America, his force got pinned under Mount St. Helens instead. Great source of
fire, but a bit dangerous. There’s always a chance he will escape. Lots of eruptions these days,
smoldering all the time. He’s restless with the Titan rebellion.

Athena swore never to marry like Artemis and Hestia. She’s one of the maiden goddesses
How Athena was born - sprung from the head of Zeus in full battle armor or something; She wasn’t born
in the normal way. She was literally born from thoughts. Her children are born the same way. When
Athena falls in love with a mortal man, it’s purely intellectual, the way she loved Odysseus in the old
stories. It’s a meeting of minds. She would tell you that’s the purest kind of love.

Telekhines - sea demons


They were practicing dark magic. I don’t know what, exactly, but Zeus banished them to Tartarus.”

Lord Antaeus - mother Gaea. The earth goddess

Antaeus’s mother was Gaea the earth mother, the most ancient goddess of all. Antaeus’s father might

ground.

scythe—a six foot-long blade curved like a crescent moon, with a wooden handle wrapped in leather. The
blade glinted two different colors— steel and bronze. It was the weapon of Kronos, the one he’d used to
slice up his father, Ouranos, before the gods had taken it away from him and cut Kronos to pieces,
casting him into Tartarus. Now the weapon was re-forged.

Pandora - Sister in law of Prometheus


Pandora’s box
It was a pithos, a storage jar. I suppose Pandora's pithos doesn't have the same ring to it, but never mind
that. Yes, she did open this jar, which contained most of the demons that now haunt mankind-fear, death,
hunger, sickness. Pandora always gets the blame. She is punished for being curious. The gods would
have you believe that this is the lesson: mankind should not explore. They should not ask questions. They
should do what they are told. In truth, Percy, this jar was a trap designed by Zeus and the other gods. It
was revenge on me and my entire family-my poor simple brother Epimetheus and his wife Pandora. The
gods knew she would open the jar. They were willing to punish the entire race of humanity along with us.
Only one spirit remained inside when Pandora opened it.
Elpis, the Spirit of Hope, would not abandon humanity. Hope does not leave without being given
permission. She can only be released by a child of man.
Keep Elpis, if you wish. But if you decide that you have seen enough destruction, enough futile suffering,
then open the jar. Let Elpis go. Give up Hope, and I will know that you are surrendering.

Because Hope survives best at the hearth. Guard it for me, Hestia, and I won't be tempted to give up
again. The goddess smiled. She took the jar in her hands and it began to glow. The hearth fire burned a
little brighter.

Drakons are several millennia older than dragons, and much larger. They look like giant serpents. Most
don't have wings. Most don't breathe fire (though some do). All are poisonous. All are immensely strong,
with scales harder than titanium. Their eyes can paralyze you; not the turn-you~to-stone Medusa-type
paralysis, but the oh~my~gods-that~big~snake~is~going~to~eat~me type of paralysis,
which is just as bad.

When the gods came to celebrate the marriage of Peleus and Thetis, the goddess Strife threw a golden
apple among the guests, announcing
that it should be awarded as a prize to the most beautiful of the three goddesses
Hera, Athena and Aphrodite. But no god was willing to take the responsibility
of judging among them. Zeus finally appointed Paris, then minding his flocks
on Mount Ida. All three of the goddesses offered him bribes. Hera promised to
make him ruler of all Asia; Athena offered him wisdom and victory in all his
battles; Aphrodite offered him the love of Helen, wife of Menelaus, the most
beautiful woman in the world. He gave the apple to Aphrodite: the result was
the Trojan War, and the undying hatred of Hera and Athena for Troy and the
Trojans. (See Introduction, p. 41.) Poseidon hated Tray for a different reason:
he had been cheated of his wages for building the walls of Troy by Laomedon,
