Clarification

Who could tell the origin stories of the gods of Olympus meliorate than a mod-twenty-four hours demigod? Percy Jackson provides an insider's view with enough of 'tude in this illustrated collection.

"A publisher in New York asked me to write down what I know about the Greek gods, and I was like, Can we practise this anonymously? Because I don't need the Olympians angry at me again. But if it helps you to know your Greek gods, and survive an encounter with them if they ever show upwardly in your face, then I guess writing all this downward will be my practiced deed for the week."

And so begins Percy Jackson'southward Greek Gods, in which the son of Poseidon adds his own magic--and sarcastic asides--to the classics. He explains how the globe was created, then gives readers his personal have on a who's who of ancients, from Apollo to Zeus. Percy does non hold back. "If you lot like horror shows, blood baths, lying, stealing, backstabbing, and cannibalism, and then read on, because it definitely was a Golden Historic period for all that."

Dramatic full-color illustrations throughout by Caldecott Honoree John Rocco brand this volume--a must for abode, library, and classroom shelves--as stunning as it is entertaining. ^[10]

Plots

Percy Jackson explained that he wrote this book on the Greek Gods at the asking of a publisher in New York. At first, he declined in fear of the gods getting mad, but he decided to do it as people volition know more about Greek Mythology.

Percy explained how Chaos first created the globe including Gaea, Ouranos, Pontos, and Tartarus. Later, Nyx, Hemera, Eros and the twelve Titans were created. Then things started to go rough betwixt Gaea and Ouranos. It got worse when Ouranos threw their side by side children, the Cyclopes and Hekatonkheires, into Tartarus. Gaea decided to accept one of her children cut Ouranos up with a scythe. Simply Kronos was willing to do it, though Koios, Krios, Hyperion and Iapetus joined in to hold Ouranos downward from the sky. Kronos was successful in chopping upward his father and throwing him into the body of water, merely not earlier he cursed his son that his own children volition overthrow him. The Furies, dryads and satyrs were born in the process.

Kronos wasn't and then bad of a ruler at first. Koios, Krios, Hyperion and Iapetus each got a corner of the world for their participation. Kronos' tyranny began when he reimprisoned the Cyclopes and Hekatonkheires he freed, just first the titans had children together. Oceanus and Tethys had Klymene, Iapetus and Klymene had Atlas and Prometheus, Koios and Phoebe had Leto, Hyperion and Theia had Helios and Selene, but Kronos and Rhea did not accept a titan. They had a goddess named Hestia. Kronos, fearing Ouranos' curse, swallowed her whole, merely Hestia was still alive in his tum. Information technology was the same with their next iv children, Demeter, Hera, Hades, and Poseidon. Only when Zeus was born, Rhea gave Kronos a stone instead and gave Zeus to Amaltheia.

As soon as Zeus grew up, he came to his father to be his cupbearer. He gave him a blend of nectar and mustard for Kronos to puke out Poseidon, Hades, Hera, Demeter, and Hestia. The gods fled and flew into Tartarus to free the Cyclopes and Hekatonkheires, simply this time they were guarded by Kampê. Zeus had them make the Primary Bolt, which he used to kill Kampê, the Trident for Poseidon, and the Captain of Darkness for Hades. They made a base at Mount Olympus and somewhen, they were able to chop upwardly Kronos and send him and his brothers into Tartarus. Zeus had Atlas hold upward the sky equally information technology would crush the world without Koios, Krios, Hyperion and Iapetus. In a game, Zeus won the heavens to rule over, Poseidon won the sea, and Hades won the Underworld.

Hestia

Percy Jackson mentioned that almost every book nearly Greek Mythology started with Zeus. But instead, he'southward going to first with Kronos' firstborn, Hestia. He explained that Hestia did not want to get married, specially subsequently Zeus married Themis and had the Horai and Fates. Both Poseidon and Apollo wanted to marry Hestia, but she wanted to take care of Mountain Olympus' hearth instead. Percy besides mentioned the time a donkey saved Hestia from Priapus. When Prometheus stole fire from the hearth to requite information technology to the balance of the earth, Percy said that Hestia must have helped him. Even so, Zeus punished the titan by having an eagle eat his liver which would ever abound back.

Demeter

Demeter was liked by all the male person gods, merely she preferred to wander the earth. After Zeus dumped Themis, he tried to get together with Demeter. They turned into serpents and a chase eventually led to Persephone beingness born. A few years later, the same thing happened with Poseidon, only with horses instead, they had Despoine and Arion. Simply then Demeter really fell in love with a human prince named Iasion, just for Zeus to zap and kill him, although Demeter managed to give nascency to Ploutos. Another prince named Erisikhthon gathered some friends of his to chop downwards trees in a grove of Demeter to build a mansion. The goddess first appeared as a regular-sized woman and then grew to a massive meridian and cursed Erisikhthon with eternal hunger.

Persephone

Persephone lived with Demeter, but Hades had a massive crush on her. Alas, he knew she was out of his league and when he visited Mount Olympus, Zeus told him that talking to Demeter wouldn't gain the paw of her daughter. He suggested a kidnapping, so Hades rose out of the footing in his chariot and took Persephone to the Underworld after Zeus made some flowers abound to lure her away from her nymph bodyguards. Helios saw this only did nothing, and when Hecate heard Persephone scream, she waited until nightfall to cast better spells. She gave Demeter torches to assistance detect her daughter and she stopped in Eleusis where Queen Metaneira was offering a prayer to her for her son, Demophoon. The queen'due south firstborn son, Triptolemus, sent riders in all four directions to spread the news. As repayment, Demeter tried to make Demophoon immortal only Metaneira inadvertently prevented it. Later hearing well-nigh it from a rider, Demeter went to Helios, who told her about Hades. Demeter furiously went to Zeus only to discover out that he was an accomplice and that there was nothing she could do. In fury, she allowed the rest of earth's crops, except Eleusis's, to dice. Zeus sent Hermes to bring Persephone back. She didn't similar Hades merely she did like his palace, ability, and specially his garden made past Askalaphos. Even though Hades told her about Demeter, he refused to give her back, but Hermes revealed that if she ate any food she'd have to stay in that location forever. Persephone just ate ane-third of a pomegranate. When Demeter found out she turned Askalaphos into a gecko, and the gods agreed to permit Persephone stay 2-thirds of each year with her female parent. Hecate became one of Persephone's attendants and Demeter made Triptolemus the god of farming.

Hera

Hera was sent off by Rhea to live with Oceanus and Tethys. When she returned, Zeus tried to ally her just she kept saying no. The following night, a cuckoo bird flew near Hera who she decided to keep overnight. The side by side morn the bird revealed himself every bit Zeus, and Hera agreed to ally him as long as he was a adept husband to her. When a nymph named Chelone refused to attend the wedding, Hermes dropped her firm on her and she changed into the globe'southward beginning tortoise. Hera's last present at her wedding was a tree with golden apples that was replanted in the Garden of the Hesperides and guarded by Ladon and the Hesperides. Zeus and Hera had Ares, Hebe, and Eileithyia. Only then Hera got mad that Zeus was having kids with other women, then Hera decided to take a child all by herself, Hephaestus.

When Ixion visited Mount Olympus, he thought Hera was beautiful. She pushed him abroad and locked herself in a room when he tried to kiss her. Zeus didn't believe her until Ixion made out with a imitation Hera and had Centaurus. Ixion was then made immortal and put on a flight wheel on burn. Princess Semele of Thebes was said to be every bit beautiful equally Hera. The goddess saw Semele was pregnant after Zeus left, so she disguised herself as Beroe, Semele'southward nursemaid, and convinced her to allow her see Zeus' true godly form which resulted in her disintegrating. Zeus hid Semele'southward babe in his right thigh and he later became Dionysus. When Aigina heard almost Semele, she was worried well-nigh Hera only passed away before anything happened to her. Her son was named Aeacus and he became rex. When Hera found out most Aigina, she put a snake in his island's river, filling it with venom. Aeacus asked Zeus to turn some ants into men for his army. He complied and they were called the Myrmidons, who were soon led by Achilles. Percy Jackson finished the chapter off by mentioning how Hera tin sometimes be a friend afterwards she helped Argos after Poseidon flooded it.

Hades

When Hades first took over Erebos, he became gloomy and decided to practise some redecorating. He added five rivers: the depressing River Cocytus, the fiery River Phlegethon, the painful River Acheron, the forgetful River Lethe, and the mean River Styx. A Daimon son of Nyx named Charon came to guide to the ghosts of the dead to the Underworld. The Judges of the Underworld determined which people would go into which group. Originally, the judges were living people who judged when people were still alive, simply after Hades took over he had deceased kings be the judges inside the Underworld. His first were Minos, Aiakos, and Rhadamanthys. And so he made the 3 Furies be his enforcers, convinced Hermes to guide people to the Underworld, and had Cerberus guard the archway. Good people went to Elysium or the Isles of the Blest, neutral people went to the Fields of Asphodel, and bad people went to the Fields of Punishment.

One example was Tantalus, who was forced into eternal hunger in a receding puddle with high fruit above him for trying to feed his son, Pelops, to the gods after stealing ambrosia and nectar. Another was Sisyphus, who was forced to push a boulder up a hill for eternity after Ares freed Thanatos from him when he tried to cheat death. Persephone's daughters, Melinoe and Makaria, became the daimon in charge of ghosts and nightmares and goddess of blest peaceful deaths, respectively. Hades once had an affair with Leuke, i of Oceanus' daughters, which fabricated Persephone mad, and then he turned Leuke into the first poplar tree. He became depressed until he saw Minthe, daughter of the River Cocytus. After a kiss, Hades took her to the town of Pylos and quickly left. Minthe ranted about being more beautiful than Persephone, which acquired the goddess herself to turn her into the first mint constitute. Percy Jackson mentioned other heroes meeting upward with Hades then introduced the reader to his dad.

Poseidon

Salty Poseidon liked winning the sea in that dice game. He used his trident to stir upwards hurricanes and summon tidal waves. Unremarkably, he stays calm, riding his chariot pulled past hippocampi, simply if he's not sacrificed to there's a risk he volition destroy fishermen's ships.

When Rhea sent Poseidon to live with the Telekhines, he was taught the ways of the ocean until he decided to build his own palace. Poseidon decided to get a patron god of a city above. He tried one in Attica but Athena had already arrived. She decided that they will create a gift for the city, Poseidon used waves to create horses only after Athena won by creating the first olive tree, the city was named Athens. After Poseidon failed to go Argos, Aegina, and Corinth, he got so mad he created a monster that terrorized the coast of Africa until it was defeated by Andromeda'southward husband. Her female parent, Cassiopeia, was placed into the stars past Poseidon. After that, all the Nereids wanted to marry him except for ane named Amphitrite. Poseidon loved her but she eventually disappeared. When Delphin offered to look for her and was successful, he promised Amphitrite that Poseidon would treat her nicely and they got married. Their children were Triton, Rhode, and Kymopoleia, merely Poseidon still had other girlfriends. One of them was Koroneis, whom Athena turned into a raven after she prayed for help. Another was Medusa, whom Athena turned into a hideous monster after she and Poseidon got romantic in her temple. But some relationships worked out better: Eurynome gave birth to Bellerophon and Aethra gave nativity to Theseus. Poseidon also gave both Mestra and Periclymenus the ability to shapeshift, but amid his children, there were also Polyphemus and Antaeus. He besides turned Theophane into a sheep when she tried to hide, then equally a ram, he made love resulting in the birth of Krysomallos, the ram with the Golden Fleece.

Then one day, Hera got the thought to overthrow Zeus. She rounded up Poseidon, Athena, and Apollo for assistance. But a nymph named Thetis had Briares untie him, on the promise of Thetis he didn't kill the gods. He had Hera suspended over the abyss of Anarchy, Apollo and Poseidon were turned into humans and forced to piece of work as laborers for King Laomedon of Troy, even so Athena got off scot-free.

Zeus

Percy Jackson described Zeus as a powerful god who would reward them if they treated him nicely simply punished them if not. One example of this was Salmoneus, a prince of Thessaly with six brothers who made their own kingdoms. Salmoneus honored himself before the gods. He even pretended that he was really Zeus to get food. When people accused him of being a fraud, the existent Zeus came downwardly and killed Salmoneus and destroyed Salmonea as some residents offered him food and believed him. Once he even tried to destroy the entire homo race with a flood. The original humans were called the Gilded Race. Among the flood's survivors were Deucalion, a son of Prometheus, and his wife, Pyrrha, equally Prometheus warned his son beforehand. They created new humans for the globe by throwing rocks over their shoulders.

Zeus usually shape-shifted to try and woo women. He turned into a bull for Europa, who had 3 sons after being taken to Crete. A prophecy stated that his son from the nereid, Thetis, would exist greater than him, so Zeus dumped her and she cruel for Peleus. One time, Zeus was forced to fight Typhoeus, the son of Gaea and married woman of Echidna, who wanted to usurp the gods, alone after the other Olympians fled. Typhoeus ripped his tendons out and stole his lightning bolts, just when Hermes, Aegipan, and other gods returned to Zeus, he got an idea. After Aegipan lured Typhoeus with his panpipes, the latter got out Zeus' tendons for a harp then fell asleep. Hermes returned Zeus his tendons and bolts, and so trapped Typhoeus nether Mount Etna by burdensome him with information technology afterwards zapping him.

Athena

Athena was built-in from Zeus and Metis, who was swallowed by him subsequently a prophecy stated their son would take his place. Metis faded abroad after giving nativity to Athena in Zeus' gut. Athena made her way to her father'south brain, giving him a big headache. Hephaestus separate his skull open and Athena grew once she got out. When she was young, she was sent to the nymphs of Lake Tritones. One of them was named Pallas whom she became good friends with.

One mean solar day, Zeus saw the 2 of them mock fighting and mistook information technology for a real fight, so he showed her the Aegis shield Athena gave him. Pallas was startled and Athena accidentally killed her. Percy idea that was why the goddess is sometimes chosen "Pallas Athena." Then there was the time she had a weaving contest against the slightly arrogant Arachne. Athena chosen it a necktie only killed Arachne later on she insulted her, but then turned her into a spider out of pity. Athena was the one who invented the kickoff flute, but she cursed whoever played information technology again to have the worst fortune later the other goddesses made fun of her playing information technology. One day afterward that, a man named Teiresias came to Athena while she was in a river and the goddess blinded him out of stupor, but she also gave him the ability to understand birds.

When Hephaestus tried to get into a relationship with her, he kept going towards her until he got his sweat and snot on her leg. She wiped it off with a textile and threw to earth where it turned into a baby. Athena decided to prefer the boy and named him Erikthonius. In lodge to brand him immortal, she put Erikthonius in a chest with a ophidian and gave it to the daughter of Male monarch Kekrops. But the marvel caused them to open the chest and got freaked out so much they jumped to their deaths. Erikthonius did not become immortal, just he did overthrow Kekrops when he grew upward.

Aphrodite

Aphrodite was born from the sea later on Ouranos was torn apart. When she came to the island of Cyprus, she rose from the ocean and met the 3 Horai. They gave her some wearing apparel and took her to Mount Olympus. When she got there, all of the gods wanted her as their wife, but Hera chose Hephaestus to marry her and most of the gods agreed, simply they did not make the best couple at all. Aphrodite started an thing with Ares right after the marriage. Athena had a weaving contest with her as well, although she failed miserably. She had a magical belt and Hera borrowed it after an argument with Zeus.

When Zeus tried to punish all humans for having fire, he gave the brother of Prometheus, Epimetheus, a pithos of evil spirits that would assault the mortals when they escape. At Aphrodite's suggestion, the gods created Pandora for Epimetheus to marry while the goddess dropped off the pithos. Pandora opened it one day while Epimetheus was out and things similar sickness and misery came out. The only practiced thing was Elpis, the spirit of hope. However, not all of Aphrodite'southward creations were bad. She brought a statue that Pygmalion, the sculptor, made to life. Zeus once made Aphrodite fall in dearest with Anchises until the spell broke, only she got pregnant with Aeneas and returned him when he turned five. Smyrna refused to worship Aphrodite, so the goddess made her meaning and her begetter chased her until she turned into a myrrh tree. The tree gave birth to a baby boy named Adonis, whom Aphrodite gave to Persephone. When he grew up the goddesses fought over his custody, and then Zeus decided that he'd spend one-third of the yr with 1 of the goddesses while the remaining 3rd he'd be on his own. Aphrodite and Adonis had a daughter named Beroe, and the goddess turned him into anemones after he was killed by a boar.

Ares

Fifty-fifty as a baby, Ares was incredibly stiff, and so Zeus and Hera hired Thero as his nanny. She took the into the land of Thrace for training until he was on the council. Despite being the god of war, at that place were many times where he actually chickened out. His twin sons, Phobos and Deimos, were his charioteers and he had his own fortress in the mountains of Thrace. However, pretty much the only Greeks that loved and pretty much worshipped Ares was Sparta, who were manly men.

Another group of Ares lovers were the Amazons, and they congenital a temple for him with sacred birds. Ares also had 2 sacred groves in central Hellenic republic and Colchis, and they each contained a dark forest of oak copse guarded past dragons. The teeth of these dragons would grow into Skeleton Warriors if planted, but both of them were somewhen killed by Cadmus. He went into one of the grooves to make a new city. Athena gave him protection at the time and so he could found a urban center named Thebes and taught him how to create spartoi. Cadmus married Ares' daughter, Harmonia, but Ares turned them both into snakes. They died and went to Elysium. The other dragon guarded the Gold Fleece, King Aeetes would often brand skeleton warriors in the field with his actress security, but that didn't terminate Jason. When Ares killed Halirrhothius for trying to rape daughter, Alcippe, Poseidon had him stand trial only he was acquitted. The twin giants, Otis and Ephialtes, kidnapped Ares past putting him in a bronze jar. Eriboea gave Hermes the location of Ares which resulted in his freedom and the Alodai's defeat.

Hephaestus

Hera created Hephaestus all by herself, only tossed him right off Mountain Olympus afterward his birth due to his ugliness. He fell into the sea simply was rescued by Thetis who raised him underwater. After nine years, he grew up to be as good as a crafter like the Elder Cyclopes. He decided to ride a donkey to Mount Olympus and won the trust of the other gods by giving them thrones, except he cursed Hera'southward with chains equally revenge. Hephaestus left for the mortal world, Zeus sent Ares to accept him free Hera but he got blasted with fire. Dionysus, notwithstanding, managed to brand Hephaestus boozer and convinced him to forgive Hera. Afterwards she tried to rebel against Zeus, Hephaestus was the one who saved her from Chaos. When Zeus establish out, he threw him off the mount. Earlier returning, he landed on Lemnos, home to the Sintian tribe where Hephaestus became their patron god. He fabricated thrones, weapons, armor, chariots, and fifty-fifty an underground mansion for the king of Chios, but his speciality was automatons. He made King Alcinous two dogs, King Laomedon a growing golden vine, and Male monarch Minos a giant named Talos. He began to find that the children he had with Aphrodite, Eros and Harmonia, didn't await similar him. Helios confessed that Aphrodite was cheating on him with Ares, so he made a net that trapped the two and showed them to the other gods who laughed at them. Hephaestus also gave Harmonia a necklace that brought bad luck. He had an matter with Aglaia, one of the 3 Charities, and had several daughters. He also dated Etna, the goddess of Mountain Etna, and they had the palikoi. He had an affair with a ocean nymph named Kabeiro and had Alkon and Eurymedon, the Kabeiroi.

Apollo

Apollo was born with his twin sister, Artemis, from Zeus and the Titan Leto. Hera got mad that Zeus had withal another thing so she cursed the pregnant Leto to exist unable to give nascency on any land. She finally managed to requite nativity to the twin gods on the floating island of Delos. Equally soon as he was erstwhile and skilled enough, he slew Python as revenge for chasing his mother while she was looking for help. Then he took over the Oracle of Delphi and hired a Pythia to tell his prophecies. Apollo took Helios' place as the god of the sun later they forgot about the latter.

When Princess Elara had Tityos from Zeus, he grew in an underground cave and was taken care of by Gaea. When the ugly behemothic emerged, Hera sent him to assail Leto as revenge, but Tityos was slain past Apollo, who then had Hades make vultures eat his liver that grew back. Queen Niobe of Thebes had fourteen perfect kids, and when the city held a festival for Leto, the queen appear that she didn't call up she was cute. This made Apollo turn all the residents to stone and kill her children and hubby with Artemis. This acquired Niobe to turn into a rock on a mountain but Zeus revived the petrified residents. Marsyas the satyr found the flute Athena fabricated and became popular with its music. Apollo had a contest with him then flayed him live afterwards he won. Apollo had dated the ix Muses, but presently fabricated Eros angry and he made Apollo autumn in dear with Daphne. Gaea turned her into a laurel tree and then she could escape Apollo.

Artemis

Artemis hated men always since she was born. She came out first and helped evangelize Apollo, that'south why she was called the childbirth goddess with Eileithyia. Upon seeing his girl, Zeus gave her any wish. She chose to exist a maiden forever and to have many followers. She got her bow and arrow from the Cyclopes, Pan gave her her hunting dogs, and finally, she gathered her followers, including Britomartis who helped catch the Ceryneian Hind. Artemis was the one who slew the Alodai, Otis and Ephialtes, and sent the Kalydonian Boar on Kalydon after Rex Oineus forgot her offering. His son, Meleager, gathered up hunters. including Mopsos and Ankaios to impale the boar, but afterward it was killed, Artemis caused a civil war.

A student of Chiron and domestic dog trainer, Actaeon, vicious in honey with Artemis but she turned him into a deer and he was eaten by his ain dogs. Sipriotes did the same thing and was turned into a daughter. Zeus turned into Artemis to win the hand of i of her followers, Kallisto, who got turned into a behave by Artemis, gave nativity to Arkas, and was turned into Ursa Major. After Orion got new eyes, he became the first male e'er to join the hunters. But then he went crazy and killed lots of animals, so Gaea had a giant scorpion kill him and he was turned into a constellation. Hippolytos, the son of Theseus, was Artemis' concluding all-time friend. After his father angrily killed him, Artemis went to Asklepios who revived Hippolytos with the Doc's Cure. Later Aphrodite and Hades complained, Zeus killed Asklepios, all the same Hippolytos lived a long life.

Hermes

Maia, Titan daughter of Atlas, gave nascence to Hermes in Mount Cyllene from Zeus. She took care of him as a baby, but one mean solar day he snuck out to steal Apollo'south Cattle. On the way, he made the first lyre out of a tortoiseshell and sheep tendons. Then he made snowshoes out of myrtle trees to go close to l cows, but a farmer named Battus saw him and confessed to Apollo. He was turned to rock considering of that expose. Hermes and Apollo became friends afterward exchanging a syrinx flute and the ability to tell fortunes with dice. When Zeus turned Io into a cow and gave information technology to Hera prevent her from finding out nearly their relationship, he had Hermes steal her back despite it existence guarded past Argus. When Hera constitute out, she turned Io into a cow permanently and sent a gadfly to sting her for the rest of her life.

Dionysus

Dionysus was the child of Zeus and Semele. After his father freed him from his leg he told Hermes to give him to Semele'southward sister, Ino, and her married man, Athamas. They disguised him as a girl to hide his identity from Hera. After she grew suspicious, Zeus turned his son into a caprine animal. Athamas killed his older son, Learkhos, when Hera turned him into a deer and Ino killed her younger son, Melikertes, by boiling him. They jumped off a cliff after realizing this.

Originally, Dionysus' name was simply Bacchus, simply Zeus added another 1 after bringing him to Mount Nysa and so the nymphs and satyrs can take intendance of him. When his friend, Ampelos, found a new vine, he died from falling after climbing the tree trying to reach it. Blaming himself, Dionysus created the starting time grapevine from both the satyr and the vine. Upon bringing wine back, Silenos made him the god of it. The beverage spread throughout all of Ancient Greece and Dionysus became famous. I of the Bacchae, his followers, suggested he become a patron god. Dionysus tried with King Lycurgus just he ended upwardly whipping everyone, even killing a nymph name Ambrosia. Upon encouragement from Thetis, Dionysus drove Lycurgus to madness and he killed his son, Dryas. And so the god caused every found in the city to wither. After Lycurgus's death, the people of the boondocks worshipped the god.

Male monarch Pentheus of Thebes resisted Dionysus because he saw the god's army dangerous. He spied on one of Dionysus' parties, finding his female parent among them. When he got defenseless, Pentheus was torn to pieces. Ane day, Dionysus got captured by pirates. He scared them past turning into predators and turned them into dolphins. Then he got off on Naxos where he found Ariadne who was left by Theseus. Taking pity on her, Dionysus made her his immortal queen. When Dionysus invaded India with Hercules and the Kabeiroi, the Indians were a lot stronger then he thought. Dionysus built a pair of pillars on the banks of the Ganges River, then took his identify on Mount Olympus.
