Zeus.

Poseidon.

How long.

What do you see?

Thunderclouds.

But no lightning.

Stolen.

What?

Do you think I stole?

Omnipotence has blinded

the brother.

We are forbidden to steal

the powers of each other.

But our children did not return.

You are accusing my son?

Do not see him since

he was a baby.

He does not know me or know

who he is, because of you.

If your child is a thief,

I will send to the bottom

of Tartarus.

If you hit him, will the

war of your life.

He should give me the radius,

in 14 days, until midnight

of the summer solstice.

Or will there be a war.

And he is alive.

Percy Jackson is the guy.

- How long will I?

- Seven minutes.

- Seven minutes?

- Yes

This is crazy, you

know How do it?

I do not know, just like

being in the water.

It is the only place

I can think of.

I would spend all day on the

water, instead of this site.

I understand, this is like high

school, without the music.

Every day is the same thing.

Good morning, I'm Mrs. Dodds.

Substitute teacher of English.

Can anyone tell me

what Shakespeare

meant in this passage

from Othello?

Percy Jackson.

So?

UNDERSTAND anger in words

but not his words.

Sorry, do not know.

Anyone else?

- Mom, I.

- Up here, dear.

- Hi

- Hi, Mom.

- How was school today?

- The usual.

This thing of dyslexia

is getting worse.

Why do you think that?

I do not know, maybe it's ADD.

I found the school existed

to make things better.

Percy, I know it's terribly

difficult.

But someday, everything

will make sense.

Really?

When?

Today? Tomorrow? When?

Woman.

Hello Gabe.

Where's my beer?

The refrigerator.

Then it will magically

appear in my hand?

Are you serious, you

need to do it here?

It's disgusting, we

are in the kitchen.

Very charming.

Show some respect.

Is my mother.

This is my home.

You show some respect.

Why is with this pig?

It smells like sewage.

He sleeps until noon, and

is not in any employment.

Why is he with?

It helps us in a way that

you do not understand.

You are right, do

not understand.

Prepare, Percy, everything

is about to change.

Everything will change ...

There are 12 Olympian gods.

The big three are all brothers

Zeus, Poseidon and Hades.

Obtained the power, overthrowing

his father, Cronus,

cutting it into pieces.

The three are rivals since then.

Always arguing, always

threatening a war.

On several occasions,

came ? Earth.

E. .. how can I talk ...

Girlfriend?

They going out with mortals.

The fruits of these meetings were

half god and half human.

Can anyone tell me how

they were called?

Percy?

Sorry, that Mr. Brunner?

What is the right name of the descendant

of a human and a God?

- Semideus.

- Exactly.

Many have become great heroes.

Hercules and Achilles.

Know the name of some other?

I'll give you a hint.

Do you have something in common.

Persian defeated CETO

Percy ... Perseus?

Correct.

Here is a picture of Hercules

defeating the Nemean lion.

Hercules killed the monster

with his own hands

and took the skin as a trophy.

- Percy ...

- Yes, Mrs. Dodds?

We need to talk.

I did something wrong?

Mrs. Dodds?

Hello?

Where is it?

How did they get up there?

You stole my thunder!

- I do not know what you're talking!

- Give me!

Give me now!

Percy!

Let him go!

You ...

Drop it or I swear I'll

cut to pieces.

I'm going crazy.

Should go on vacation.

Percy, calm down.

Everything will be fine.

God, wait.

... It really happened?

She turned that thing?

Fury.

Hidden in our school, I

should have imagined.

Hold on. Fury? What is a Fury?

And who said he could

cut it into pieces?

What she wants from you?

She ... said something ...

about me ...

steal a radius.

They found him.

- He is in danger.

- Who did you find me?

- He is no longer safe here.

- Where should we take him?

We have no choice but to camp.

What camp? I'm right here.

If you think he is the thief

there is no safe place on earth

or in heaven for him now.

Percy.

Take it to defend itself.

It is a powerful weapon.

Keep it well.

Use it only when in danger.

This is a pen.

This is a pen!

Leave it to the mother.

And do not lose sight of.

Percy, come on.

Come on, man, come on!

What's going on?

Do not trust anyone.

Do not look at anybody,

just keep walking.

Why Mr.

Brunner asked that

you care for me?

- Because I am your protector.

- Wait a minute.

My protector? Are you kidding?

What?

Being so I am not able

to keep you safe?

You may not see what I see.

Do you use crutches.

Give my life to ensure

their well-being.

What are you talking about?

What's going on?

We need to tell your mother.

Come on, Percy. Come on.

Sally! More beer!

Mom, we need to talk.

Do not you see that it is serving

me and my friends?

Do not talk like my mother,

his bald freak.

- Very good.

- As I said, I am the protector.

Sally, Percy must go now.

Right now.

What's going on?

- I swear I did not steal anything.

- Honey, I believe in you.

Where are you taking me?

What is this camp?

A camp for very special

people like you.

Special people, I'm

crazy or something?

No, dear, no.

Percy has to do with his father.

His father was nothing

like any man I met,

was breathtaking.

Now he is gorgeous.

And then you came and

it was perfect.

But he had to leave.

So he has abandoned it.

No, dear.

He was forced. He loved you.

Turn you was probably the

hardest thing I did.

Why he needed to go?

- Because it ...

- Sally, watch out!

- Percy!

- Mom, okay?

Grover, okay?

Is it just me or is raining cow?

What is that?

Get out! Come!

Why are you taking your pants?

What are you doing?

My work.

You are half ass?

I half goat.

Watch the glass!

Come on, get out of the

car, he is approaching!

Do not need this?

Was only disguise.

Follow me!

Around here, people. This way.

Come! Come, run!

Go, go!

Let.

Arrived.

Grover!

Mom, what are you doing?

It's the most I can get.

I can not pass, not like you.

- Do not leave here without you.

- You have!

It is your destiny.

Put my mother on the floor!

Percy, go!

Is insurance through the portal.

- What can I do?

- Use the pen!

- What?

- The pen Brunner, tighten it.

Is everything okay?

Percy, behind you!

- Percy, are you okay?

- I do not feel well.

Percy!

- It hurts.

- I'm glad he is alive.

Where am I? What is this place?

The infirmary.

You've been unconscious

for three days.

Three days?

So, Percy.

Do you remember?

A crazy dream.

There was a monster.

My mother was there and you too.

You were a strange thing hybrid

of human and goat.

Putting it right, a satyr.

Everything was real?

My mother is gone?

Sorry, Percy. I tried a lot.

But frankly, I'm only

a junior guard.

I have my horns yet.

It was my fault.

It was my job to protect you.

Protect you.

So, this is Camp Half-Blood.

- What does this mean?

- I think you know.

To half mortal, half god.

- Fire!

- Look at the arrows, folks!

Novato, wow.

Know the myths of gods and goddesses?
