Chapter 10 in Rick Riordan's The Lightning Thief is called "I Ruin a Perfectly Good Bus". In this chpater Percy Jackson and his friends Annabeth and Grover leave Camp Half-Blood for their quest, board a bus, and are attacked by the three Fates, three of the worst monsters in greek mythology. Percy then uses Annabeth's invisibility cap to escape, but has to save Annabeth and Grover first, so he grabs the wheel of the bus from the driver, and steers it to the left, causing the Fates to loose their balance and fall. The bus later smashes into a tree, and while the other passangers and driver on the bus get off, Percy, Annabeth and Grover try to defeat the monsters. When Percy 'insults' Zeus, Zeus sends down a lightning bolt and destroys the bus. Percy, Annabeth and Grover made it out safely though.

∙ 10y agoThe Lightning Thief is overflowing with examples of allusion. Any time a tale from Greek mythology is referenced, this is allusion. For example, the description of the three old ladies (beginning toward the bottom of page 25 and continuing onto page 26) allude to the Greek myth of the Three Fates. According to the myth, the Fates determine when one's life will end with a spool of thread. One holds the spool, another measures, and the third snips the string at the desired length.
Another example would be the Minotaur that Percy defeats in Chapter 4. This battle alludes to the classic myth of Theseus and the Minotaur.
Rick Riordan's website actually has a chart that provides a chapter by chapter breakdown of all the myths that are alluded to throughout the book.
Hope this helps!
Bitches were also in the book to and it is awesome
In the lightning theif many people were helping Percy in life. Another illusion was when his mother had been crumbled into dust by a minataur and it was not a good thing at all.

Well the Greek gods were myth, it is true that Greeks used to believe in Medusa, Zeus, Hades, etc. But the history of them is not true, and Percy never existed in Greek mythology either. Therefore, it is not historical fiction.

Compare and contrast a police officer to a thief?
A police officer is a sworn (by oath of allegiance) instrument (servant) of a State or government in the area of law enforcement. A thief is just a common person who has decided to steal. The thief has little standing in a community and is more than likely to serve time in prison. Ongoing theft is addiction. If you want to study the beginnings of law you have to go back to Exodus chapter 20 in the Bible where God gives Moses the Ten Commandments.
Which book would you find the ten commandments?
You would find the Ten Commandments in the Bible, specifically in the book of Exodus (Exodus 20:1-17) and Deuteronomy (Deuteronomy 5:6-21).
