Book 3: The Titan's Curse - Use of Myths

This book continues the series of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, and therefore is completely full of mythology and the various literary components that go along with it. The largest part of myths present is that the Greek gods themselves regularly make appearances, and the main characters are either mythological creatures themselves or descended from them. Beyond that, the hero’s journey applies to the series at large, as well as the individual novels. This certainly applies to The Titan’s Curse. The majority of the journey remains, missing only the transformation. Percy goes through a transformation throughout the series, and the component of it in this book is his realization of the prevalence of his feelings for Annabeth.

Atonement Percy carries the sky Receives the gift of the Goddess At the Olympian Council, the gods vote not to kill Percy even though he has the potential to lead to their demise. Thalia joins the Hunters. Returns Nico is a son of Hades, so it does not necessarily mean that the prophecy will apply to Percy
As for archetypes, most of them remain the same from the previous book. Percy is the hero, and Kronos the villain. Thalia serves as the father figure, as she leads and protects the others, while Zoe’s guiding places her as the mother figure. Percy remains the underdog, as he still fights for respect from the gods.
