Summary and Study Guide

Overview

The Titan’s Curse (2007) is the third installment in Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson & the Olympians series, following The Lightning Thief (2005) and The Sea of Monsters (2006) and preceding The Battle of the Labyrinth (2008) and The Last Olympian (2009). The series centers around the adventures of Percy Jackson, a boy who is the son of the Greek god of the sea Poseidon and a mortal woman named Sally Jackson. Percy learns that he is a demigod—meaning that he is half-human and half-god—and joins with other children of the Greek gods at Camp Half-Blood. There, they complete quests and fight against the Titan Kronos, who desires to emerge from banishment and return to destroy the Olympian gods, including Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades, among others. The series is geared toward young adult readers who are interested in fantasy.
