I chose Percy Jackson‚ due to the fact that he is like Odysseus. He’s like Odysseus‚ because he’s not morally perfect‚ is considered a hero because he saves olympus and this is what Greeks considered heros. Some of Percy’s most pivotal moments in “Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief‚” are; his mom is stolen by the minotaur‚ he meets Annabeth‚ they go to the lotus hotel in Las Vegas‚ they go to the underworld‚ and they meet the gods.
