Percy Jackson Collection Perseus “Percy” Jackson is a fictional character, the title character and narrator of Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson & the Olympians series. He is also one of seven main protagonists of the sequel series The Heroes of Olympus, appearing in every book except The Lost Hero, and appears in the Trials of Apollo series, making him one of the few characters to appear in all three series of the Camp Half-Blood chronicles. He has also been a narrator and protagonist in Riordan’s Greco-Roman/Egyptian crossover stories, part of the Demigods and Magicians collection.

Creation and conception Development of the character Percy Jackson began when Rick Riordan started inventing stories for his son Haley Riordan, who was diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia in the spring of 2002.: 179  When Haley was in second grade and he was studying Greek mythology, he asked his father to tell him bedtime stories based on those myths. When his father ran out of ideas, Haley suggested that he make up new stories that combined existing mythological characters with new ones. This led Riordan to create the fictional character of Percy Jackson and the story of his travels across the United States to recover Zeus’s lightning-bolt. Haley then[when?] suggested it be written as a novel. Riordan received input on the manuscript from some of his middle school students before taking the idea of Percy Jackson to a publisher. Riordan has said that Percy Jackson’s original character was “inspired by my son’s own struggle” at school. Haley and Percy have been cited as the “same age” and share several character traits, though they are by no means the same person. : 179–180  Riordan has also stated that Percy has “[his] sense of humor” and is also “based on many of the students [he has] had in the past.”
