Rick Riordan got the idea for Percy Jackson from his son, who was struggling with Greek mythology in school. It inspired him to create a modern twist on these myths, resulting in the popular Percy Jackson series.

How did Nico say to fight Kronos?
Although it is not stated clearly in the book on what Nico's plan to defeat Kronos is, there is a few hints if you 'read between the lines'. Nico's plan is understood to be that Percy would bathe in the River Styx and then kill Kronos at the time he was weakest.As in stated in The Last Olympian right before Percy was about to bathe in the River Styx:"'Percy,' Nico said, 'Mabey he's right.''This was your idea.' [Percy]" (Riordan 134)Or:"I struggled to my feet. I moved toward him with the knife. I should kill him. That was the plan." (Riordan 336)These are both quotes from Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Last Olympian. Although it is not clearly stated what the plan was in the book, you can obviously see that the plan was to bathe in the River Styx and defeat Kronos.
