Part 7/9:

Gathering his companions Grover and Annabeth, Percy finds reassurance despite the Oracle's foreboding prophecy about betrayal and loss as they begin their perilous journey. The trials ahead will test their friendship and resolve, revealing allies and foes in unexpected places.

Facing the Challenges

Their quest sees them encounter Medusa, a once-beautiful woman cursed into monstrosity, who represents the eternal conflict between appearances and reality. This encounter not only forces Percy to face physical danger but also testifies to the complexities of his companions’ loyalties, especially Annabeth's relationship to her mother, Athena.
