Ares
The Lightning Thief
Percy is given the task of locating Zeus's original lightning bolt before an all-out war can break out between the gods. He chooses Annabeth and Grover to accompany him to the realm of Hades, as Hades is the most likely culprit of the theft. Before he leaves, Percy is given Chiron's magic sword "Anaklusmos" ("Riptide") and Luke's flying sneakers. The trio travels towards Los Angeles, where the entrance to Hades's realm resides. Along the way, they are attacked by several monsters, including the Furies, Medusa, Echidna, and the Chimera. They also do a favor for the god Ares, who gives them a backpack full of supplies and safe transportation to Nevada. Percy gradually learns more about his companions, his powers, and the world of the Greek gods. When they arrive in Hades's realm, Grover is nearly dragged into Tartarus by Luke's flying shoes. The battered group finally meets Hades, who reveals that his Helm of Darkness has also been mysteriously stolen, and accuses Percy of stealing it. H
