The gods of Olympus are alive in the 21st century. They still fall in love with mortals and have children who might become great heroes, but most of these children meet horrible fates at the hands of monsters. Such is the revelation that launches Percy Jackson on a quest to help his father, Poseidon, avert a war among the gods.
