Percy Jackson and the Olympians

Percy Jackson and the Olympians is a fantasy adventure book series written by Rick Riordan. The work is set in the United States in the current era but is based on a notable event in Greek mythology. It consists of five books, as well as five spin-offs. More than 45 million copies of the books have been sold in more than 32 countries.

The protagonist is Percy Jackson, a young demigod, son of Poseidon, Greek god of the sea and earthquakes, and a mortal, Sally Jackson. One day, Percy discovers that all the myths of ancient Greece are real along with their respective gods, who live on Olympus, now located on the 600th floor of the Empire State Building. The young demigod will discover Camp Half-Blood (a camp for demigods, where they cultivate their fighting skills and control their powers) where he will meet Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena, and Grover, a satyr, who took him there and with who will live endless adventures with the aim of saving the world from Cronus, the king of the Titans, who intends to destroy Olympus, thus ending the current world. This revision of classical Greek mythology brings ancient myths such as Medusa, the Underworld, the Minotaur, and Echidna to the present day as the fathers of Western civilization.
