Press Enter to start
Launched in 2005 with *The Lightning Thief*, Percy Jackson and the Olympians reimagines Greek mythology in the modern world, blending wry humor with gods, monsters and prophecies. Author Rick Riordan originally invented Percy's adventures as bedtime stories for his son, and that loose, conversational voice is what turned the pentalogy into a publishing phenomenon. The five books follow Percy, a dyslexic and ADHD twelve-year-old who discovers he is the son of Poseidon, as he fights Titans, saves Olympus, and redefines what a hero looks like.
The universe grew far beyond the first series. The Heroes of Olympus (2010–2014) introduced Roman demigods, the hidden Camp Jupiter near San Francisco, and a seven-hero crew tasked with preventing Gaia from rising. The Trials of Apollo pentalogy (2016–2020) followed the god Apollo reduced to a mortal teenager named Lester Papadopoulos. Spin-offs like The Kane Chronicles and Magnus Chase widened the lens to Egyptian and Norse mythology, all loosely connected through shared cameos.
On screen, the saga has had two very different lives: the Logan Lerman films of 2010 and 2013 directed by Chris Columbus and Thor Freudenthal, and the 2023 Disney+ series starring Walker Scobell, which Riordan himself co-produced to finally honor the books. From the magical ballpoint pen Riptide to the strawberry fields of Camp Half-Blood, the franchise has sold more than copies worldwide and made ancient gods feel like messy, modern family again.
