Here is the “Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief” plot description:
It’s the 21st century, but the gods of Mount Olympus and assorted monsters have walked out of the pages of high school student Percy Jackson’s Greek mythology texts and into his life. And they’re not happy. Zeus’ lightning bolt has been stolen and Percy is the prime suspect. Even more troubling is the sudden disappearance of Percy’s mother.
As Percy adapts to his newly discovered status as a demi-god (his father is Poseidon), he finds himself caught between the battling titans of Mount Olympus. He and his friends embark on a cross-country adventure to catch the true lightning thief, save Percy’s mom and unravel a mystery more powerful than the gods themselves.
The “Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief” trailer can be watched now below.

Atalanta
Atalanta First of all, she’s a woman and there aren’t many woman heroes!! She also accompanied Jason on the quest for the Golden fleece and she slayed the boar.
greatest greek god
Nemesis she was the right hand of Zeus. She was the Goddess of Righteous Anger and it was she who saw to it that all good and evil were justly paid.
she may not be considered the “greatest” of all but in my book she is!
Zeus Rules
Zeus is the greatest Greek God of all time. In addition to being the leader of the Gods, he is most powerful, his weapon is the lightning bolt and he can transform himself into cool things such as a shower of gold etc. Zeus Rocks!
Zeus, he is fun.
Zeus, he is fun.
Zeus
= the God of gods.
GodESS!
Aphrodite, as both men and gods were unable to deny her power.
Zeus
Zeus would be the most powerful Greek God, because he was the king of Gods. He was in charge of all the Gods and Goddess. He has the lightening bolt as his symbol, and he is very venegeful and has unlimited magical powers. The other Gods and Goddesses respected Zeus and were scared of him.
Zeus
Zeus is the most powerful Greek God. He is in charge of every God and Goddess, and he also demanded respect from all people, gods, and goddesses, plus everyone Gods included were scared of Zeus and what he could do. He had a lot of magical powers and could do almost anything.
Zeus
There’s a reason he is the king of the Greek gods.
Greek god
Hades is the greatest because he got the girl by making her eat a fruit
