Ares places a curse of Percy righgt before he died. Example;"Every time you raise your blade in battle, every time you hope for success, you will feel my curse. Beware, Perceus Jackson, beware."pg331

Theme- Poor little Perceus Jackson struggles to return the amazingingly powerful masterbolt to Zues. Meanwhile he faces horrable monsters that try to kill him.

Complications....
 * 1) 1 Percy fought the minotaur then ripped the horn off its head.
 * 2) 2 Percy found out he was Posidens son.
 * 3) 3 Percy talked to Hades in the underworld.

The Climax of this story is that at the ending of the book Percy did not steal the master bolt and the helm of darkness which that belongs to Hades. It was Luke who was one of the camp conseleurs that was in the Hermes cabin. Ares caught Luke with them and Ares was going to threaten to kill Luke and take the items back to Olympus. Luke gave Ares an idea of seeing a war between the Great Three. They are Hades, Zues, and Posideon. Ares liked the idea and let Luke go. Ares took the items whoch are the helm and the master bolt. Instead of returmng them to their places, he moved them to the Underworld and so that when Percy came to the throne of Hades the master bolt will appear in the pack. Luke put a curse on the shoes he gave Percy so that when he was dragged to the Taturus pit the maste bolt would be destryed and lost forever. That did not happen so the master bolt was safe. This is the Climax of this story.
