"Percy Jackson & the Olympians" is a series of books that brings to life Greek mythology as it unfolds the story of Percy Jackson, a once normal boy who discovers he is a half-human son of Poseidon when he comes of age.
Two live action films have adapted the first two novels of the series: "Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief" in 2010 and "Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters" in 2013.
