Chapter 37 Summary: “Percy”

On the plane, Percy, Frank, and Hazel talk about what Frank learned from Mars and how they are all three parts of the Prophecy of Seven. Hazel realizes for the first time that Percy is Greek, and he admits it, telling them his memories are coming back quickly now, thanks to the gorgon blood. Hazel worries that people at Camp Jupiter, specifically Octavian, would not like to know a Greek camp exists. The “Greeks and Romans have a long history of bad blood” (389), and it is unlikely they will work freely with one another. This is the reason Percy believes Juno sent him to Camp Jupiter. She wanted him to smooth the way for a truce.

Percy takes a nap so he can reach out to his friends. He finds Tyson, his brother who is a cyclops, in the woods near Frank’s family home with Percy’s hellhound, Mrs. O’Leary. He tells Tyson he is safe and asks him to care for Ella. He then instructs Tyson to go to Camp Jupiter to help in the impending battle. Before he can tell him anymore, his dream is interrupted by images of Polybotes preparing for battle.
