What is a demigod?
A demigod, or half-blood, is a child of a mortal and a god. For example, Percy is a demigod because his mother (Sally) is mortal and his father (Poseidon) is a god. Demigods have special skills such as fighter instincts and the ability to see things that mortals cannot see. However, they are also in constant danger because monsters target demigods.

Why did Luke give Percy the winged sneakers?

Who is Kronos?
Kronos is a Titan and the father of Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Demeter, Hades, and Hestia. He swallowed all of his children because he feared they would one day overthrow him. However, his wife hid Zeus and gave Kronos a stone to swallow instead. When Zeus was old enough, he fed Kronos a mixture of mustard and wine, which made Kronos expel his other children. Zeus and his siblings were then able to overthrow Kronos. Within the context of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, Kronos is the primary antagonist and is trying to rise to power again.
Who are the Big Three?
The term “Big Three” refers to the three most powerful gods—Zeus (the god of the sky), Poseidon (the god of the sea), and Hades (the god of the Underworld). Their excess of power enables them to produce uniquely strong demigods. As a result, the three brothers made a pact to stop fathering children with mortal women because they were too powerful and caused too many global conflicts.
