Monsters are attracted to the scent of demigods the more powerful the demigod, the stronger the scent. Sometime while Percy was a toddler, Sally married Gabe Ugliano and hoped his horrible smell would mask her son from the monsters that would hunt him. As Percy grew older, his mother would tell him that his father had been “lost at sea," never confirming whether he was dead or alive. Percy was left with vague memories of his father looking over him in his cradle only remembering a warm smile, a hand on his head, and a "golden glow." At some point as an infant, Percy was attacked by a snake but managed to strangle it to death just like the famous Roman demigod Hercules. As the most powerful Olympians, children of the Big Three wield incredible power and are seen as too dangerous to be brought into existence. In Percy's case, Poseidon left to protect him and his mother from Zeus who would have been angered to discover that his brother broke the oath a pact made by Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades, also known as the Big Three, to avoid having any more demigod children. When Percy was still an infant his father Poseidon left, as is usual of the gods, leaving Sally to raise Percy on her own. He was named after the famous Greek hero Perseus by his mother for good luck because his namesake was one of the few heroes who had a happy ending and died a peaceful death. Perseus "Percy" Jackson was born on August 18th, to Poseidon, the Greek god of the seas, storms, earthquakes, and the creator of horses, and Sally Jackson, a mortal who could see through the Mist, 18 years ago. 12 The Sun and the Star: A Nico di Angelo Adventure.3.1 Percy Jackson and the Singer of Apollo. 2.5.3 Percy Jackson and the Sword of Hades.2.5.2 Percy Jackson and the Bronze Dragon.2.5.1 Percy Jackson and the Stolen Chariot.
