Summary
Percy goes home for summer break, after which he and his mortal mother Sally Jackson head to their Montauk property to avoid Percy's stepfather, Gabe Ugliano. However, the journey is cut short due to a series of traumatic experiences, such as being assaulted by the Minotaur, which results in his mother's death. Percy finds himself in Camp Half-Blood, a training facility for demigods such as himself.
He learns he is a demigod, the son of Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea. Percy also discovers that his best friend, Grover Underwood, is a satyr, a woodland spirit with a human torso, horns, and a goat's lower body and that Zeus accuses him of stealing his Master Bolt, the universe's most powerful weapon. Percy sets out to reclaim the lightning bolt from Hades, who is accused of being the true thief, in order to clear his name, prevent the world from another battle between the Olympian gods, and maybe even save his mother.
As a result, Percy, Grover, and Annabeth Chase, an Athena's daughter, embark on a voyage to the underworld, encountering several mythical creatures along the way. After confronting an innocent Hades, they discover that their friend Luke Castellan, son of Hermes, is the true thief who stole the Lightning Bolt (also known as the Master Bolt) in order to give Kronos (also spelled Cronos or Cronus), the defeated King of the Titans from the past, a chance to rise again, and that Ares, the Greek god of war, assisted in covering up Luke's crime in order to spark an Olympian war.
