Best Answer

Yes, Each Percy Jackson & The Olympians books is based on an Ancient Greek myth. The Lightning Thief takes from the Odyssey, especially in regards to the Lotus Hotel and Casino, as well as the adventures of Perseus with Medusa and of Theseus. The Sea of Monsters takes from Jason and the Argonauts and also from the Odyssey, as Polyphemus, Scylla, Charybdis and Circe make appearances. The Titan's Curse includes the deeds of Hercules. The Last Olympian takes from the earliest of Greek myths about the Titans and the war against the gods.
