What is a allusion in The Lightning Thief chapter ten?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

The 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!
