Percy Jackson - The Titan's Curse
Book 3
Hey guys ! This is the second series of Percy Jackson & The Olympian, The Titan's Curse
This is the third novel in the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series and the sequel to The Sea of Monsters. It charts the adventures of the fourteen-year-old demigod Percy Jackson as he and his friends go on a dangerous quest to rescue his friend Annabeth and the Greek goddess Artemis, who have both been kidnapped.
Titan's Curse..? Wait... Who is the Titans..??
In Greek mythology, the Titans were a race of powerful deities, descendants of Gaia and Uranus, that ruled during the legendary Golden Age.
You can say that Titans are somewhere higher than the Gods.
The role of the Titans as Elder Gods was overthrown by a race of younger gods, the Olympians, in the Titanomachy ("War of the Titans") which effected a mythological paradigm shift that the Greeks may have borrowed from the Ancient Near East.
I'll explain more about Titans and Gods in my next post.
Storyline: When the goddess Artemis goes missing, she is believed to have been kidnapped.And now it's up to Percy and his friends to find out what happened. Who is powerful enough to kidnap a goddess? They must find Artemis before the winter solstice, when her influence on the Olympian Council could swing an important vote on the war with the titans. Not only that, but first Percy will have to solve the mystery of a rare monster that Artemis was hunting when she disappeared -- a monster rumored to be so powerful it could destroy Olympus forever.r.
Awards and nominations
The Titan's Curse received several literature-related awards, including: number one The New York Times children's series best seller and Book Sense Top Ten Summer Pick for 2007. It was also a Quill Award nominee.
Grover has discovered two new half-bloods at a military boarding school and needs his friends' help to protect them. It turns out, though, that the principal of the school is not what he seems, and he's not eager to give them up so easily. It will take not only the half-bloods, but also Apollo, Artemis and her crew of Hunters --- the eternal virgins who accompany the maiden huntress --- to bring the kids back safely to Halfblood Hill.
Artemis, though, suspects that the monster guarding the school is only a shadow of the new evils that the Titan Lord Kronos and his minions (like Percy's old enemy Luke) have let loose upon the world. When Artemis disappears --- and when the Oracle's cryptic messages lead the kids to head into danger to help rescue her --- Percy and his friends might be headed into their most dangerous adventure yet. This time, even though Riordan's trademark humor remains (revealed partly in chapter titles like "We Visit the Junkyard of the Gods"), the kids' choices take on new importance and have real implications for the future, both personally and cosmically
In the third book of the series, The Titan's Curse, Zoe Nightshade is given a prophecy as follows:
Five shall go west to the goddess in chains,
One shall be lost in the land without rain,
The bane of Olympus shows the trail,
Campers and Hunters combined prevail,
The Titan's curse must one withstand,
And one shall perish by a parent's hand.
Who's Zoe...? Well she is the daughter of Titan Atlas. That is the only thing I can tell you. The meaning of the prophecy..? Read the book ^^"
