Percy Jackson and The Olympians (2024)

FAQs

Why did Percy's mom marry Gabe? ›

To answer questions about The Lightning Thief, please sign up. Alexis Sally Jackson married Gabe to protect Percy from monsters finding him. Gabe has a pungent odor, which of course earned him the nickname, "Smelly Gabe", and it's that horrible odor that was able to mask Percy's demigod scent.

So Annabeth calls Percy a lot of names and Seaweed brain is the most popular, but what r the other ones besides seaweed brain and kelp face?

Thalia is a demi-goddess who died trying to protect Annabeth, Luke, and Grover from the Furies on Half-Blood Hill. She was the illegal daughter of Zeus, born after the Big Three had pledged not to have children by mortal women anymore.

Ares wants war, so he framed Percy as the culprit in order to achieve a three-way war against Poseidon, Zeus, and Hades. He explains that magic similar to that in Riptide, the sword, was used on the backpack, so that the bolt would appear in the backpack once Percy entered the Underworld.

After Percy's return and her rescue, Sally finally has enough of Gabe's abuse, kills him with Medusa's Head, and sells his petrified corpse as a sculpture of her design, earning her enough money for her and her son to start a new life.

Estelle Blofis is the daughter of Paul Blofis and Sally Jackson, and is the younger half-sister of Percy Jackson.

Percy pulled Annabeth close and kissed her... long enough for it to get really awkward for Piper, though she said nothing. She thought about the old rule of Aphrodite's cabin: that to be recognized as a daughter of the love goddess, you had to break someone's heart.

Thalia is called "Pinecone Face" by Percy; in retaliation, she calls him "Seaweed Brain", which Percy does not like because it's Annabeth's pet name for him.

It's pretty clear that he loved Annabeth as far back as the first book The Lightening Thief. He described her as attractive and I think that's when he started having feelings for her. Percy didn't even like Rachel and doesn't now. He always had considered Rachel as just a friend and nothing more.

As they reached Half-Blood Hill, Thalia sent Luke, Grover, and Annabeth over the boundary line while she faced the monsters. She sacrificed her life for her friends, but her father Zeus took pity on her and turned her into a pine tree to preserve her, keeping the rest of the camp safe.

Do Thalia and Luke kiss? ›

In the demigod diaries when Thalia kissed Luke on the cheek I thought that was really cute! But they didn't get a lot of moments together on the book.

Shortly after Thalia came across another demigod, Luke Castellan, a son of Hermes. They became friends and joined forces to fight the monsters that attacked them. They have romantic feelings for each other.

In The Last Olympian, while still hating Percy, Ares likes the idea of making Percy immortal, since that would let him "beat him to a pulp" as often as he feels like it, while Percy will keep coming back for more.

Unable to rescue his mother at first, Percy defeats the Minotaur and retreats to Camp Half-Blood until he is allowed to go on his own quest with Grover and Annabeth Chase, a daughter of Athena. After ten days, Percy rescues Sally by returning the Helm of Darkness to Hades in the Underworld after a fight with Ares.

The long-awaited Percy Jackson and the Olympians' two-part premiere includes a surprising Grover betrayal that changes one vital book detail, but it's likely for the best. Even before its release, Percy Jackson and the Olympians promised to be a more faithful adaptation of Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson book series.

Grover shares with Percy how his mother was protecting him by staying with Smelly Gabe because his scent masked Percy's scent from monsters. While they are on a bus headed toward the entrance to the Underworld, three old women who look like Mrs. Dodds get on the bus.

It's quite clear that Gabe had a massive effect on Percy's mental health, regardless of whether or not he subjected Percy to violence (although, it's very, very likely that he did, and that he'd been doing so for a long time).

Percy gets sad thinking about his mom, and Grover tells him that she married Smelly Gabe out of love for Percy. Smelly Gabe's stench was so strong, it masked Percy's smell from monsters.

Before leaving for camp, he encourages his mother to use it on Smelly Gabe. Percy returns to Camp Half-Blood for the rest of the summer. While there, he learns his mother used Medusa to turn Smelly Gabe into a statue as she no longer needs to put up with him to keep Percy safe.
