I have learned about gods, goddesses and demi-gods, evil people/ monsters and the powers that the gods/demi-gods have. I learned about the names of gods and goddesses that I didn't know about before, like Ares. I also learned who their sons/daughters are. (Poseidon-Tyson, Thalia-Zeus) Also, I learned some of the demi-gods names, such as Luke, Clarisse and Tyson. There are also the evil people and monsters. Some evil people in the book were C.C. sorceress. Some monsters were Polyphemus, Charybdis, Scylla and Kronos. Polyphemus is a giant cyclops who has a flock of evil man eating sheep and the Golden Fleece. Charybdis is a big ugly monster with seaweed "braces," yellow teeth and eyes and creates a giant whirlpool to suck you up and eat you. Scylla is a monster who sits upon a cliff and grabs people from their ship with her long tentacles. She will sometimes pull up your whole ship too. Charybdis and Scylla are sisters. Kronos is an evil lord from the underworld. He is in a sarcophagus and Luke is trying to raise him from the dead. Poseidon and Percy have the power to control the sea. Athena and Annabeth are beautiful and great hunters. Hermes and Luke are kind of leaders and messengers.

Sherlock Holmes, you do know that Percy is not actually Poseidon's son, and others, it's just a book!

I have learned more about the gods and goddesses, how the gods feel about there children after leaving them alone for years only with one parent. I have learned more about the golden fleece which plays a big role in The Sea of Monsters. I have learned more about the Hydras, and other mythical and dangerous monsters. I have learned more about Percy and his family, like how he is the son of Posiedon, he is the half brother of an abandoned Cyclops named Tyson and has a mom named Sally Jackson who is not a god but an ordinary person which makes Percy a demigod.

Was all of that in The Sea of Monsters? Or did The Sea of Monsters inspire you to do some research of your own?

No it was not in the Sea of Monsters. Since the book is so good it did inspire me to do research on the greek gods.

I learned a lot about the Greek Gods and Goddesses and Greek mythology. I learned that when the Gods and Goddesses have children that have demi-gods and are not aloud to see their parent that is a God or Goddess. I learned that cyclops can belong to Gods and Goddesses like Tyson belongs to Poseidon. These were all the Gods and Goddesses that appear in Percy Jackson.

I have learnt many things from reading The Sea of Monsters. I have also read the other books of the series so I have learned lots. I learnt about the Titans and how they have kids of their own. I have learned about how Hades actually has kids. The cabins at camp only represent the 12 major gods. All gods in Percy Jackson are actually real. Hercules and Achilles were the two greatest demi gods in history. Hercules is a child of Zeus. River Styx gives you invincibility forever, however you are weak in 1 spot. RipTide belonged to Achilles then Hercules. Lukes sword BackBiter is actually Kronos' scythe. Just in sword form. There is a monster named Typhon. In the last book the gods struggled to even scratch Typhon because he was very powerful. A gods divine form disengrates mortals. The last oracle was cursed by Hades thats why she is a withered old body. Hermes knew about Luke's future since he was born. Luke's mother is possessed etc etc. The Three Fates are as strong as Titans. Monsters don't die they re form after a while. Gods die when they are forgotten
