Okay so I have watched about half of the movie and done notes so far;
The stuff I have to research is;
*is it true that the Gods are forbidden from stealing each others powers
*that Zeus' lightening bolt is the most powerful weapon.
*what is meant when Zeus says "I will send him to the depths of Tartarus" what is tartarus.
*what is the summer solstice
*how much truth is there to this speech made by a school teacher in the film. "There are 12 Olympian gods. The big three are the brothers Zeus, Poseidon and Hades. They attained power by overthrowing their father Kronos, chopping him into little pieces. the three gods have been rivals ever since, always arguing always threatening war. On several occasions they would come down to earth and 'hook up' with mortals. The children of these unions were half god, half human. Demigod. Many became great heroes like Hercules and Achillis and Perseus."
*what exactly is a "fury" does it match the image shown in the film.
*a Satyr (is Percy’s protector) are they really known as protectors. Half goat half man.
*Miotar do these creature work for Hades.
*Anna Beth, daughter of Athena, The goddess of wisdom.
Centaurs?
*who is Hermes
*Who is Ares why are his sons so violent
*do Poseidon and Athena really hate each other??
*the myth of Persephone's pearls "he (Hades) forced her to marry him. Keeps her prisoner, she hates it there so she has 'secret' visitors. She keeps the pearls hidden for them all over the world and these pearls provide a quick exit from the underworld.
*what are Gold drachmas. How come the boat guy to the underworld takes them as payment and not real money?
*did Athena turn Medusa's hair into snakes?
*medusa and Poseidon use to be together?
*if you open Medusa’s eyes dead or alive they still work?
*Percy Jackson killed Medusa?
*Poseidon and Athena both wanted to be patron god of Athens and the people chose Athena and they hated each other ever since.
Zeus declared that the god's couldn't have physical contact with their mortal offspring.
