| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are the Fields of Asphodel | They look like a massive, endless, dark concert crowd. Silent and sad. The black grass is trampled; the wind is warm and moist like a swamp's breath. The souls are shimmering, angry, or confused, and their voices sound like bats twittering. |
| What are the different parts of the Underworld? | The Judgment Pavilion: Spirits line up for "Judgments For Elysium and Eternal Damnation" |
| Fields of Punishment: | a vast, cracked wasteland with rivers of lava, minefields, and barbed wire separating torture areas |
| Elysium: | small beautiful gated community surrounded by walls with happy neighborhoods, rainbow-colored grass, and the smell of barbecue. |
| The Isles of Blest: | For souls who achieve Elysium three times and choose to be reborn three times |
| What happens as the three moved towards Hades's palace? | As they move toward Hades's palace, Grover's flying shoes (from Luke) suddenly activate on their own, pulling him away from the group. |
| Where do the shoes drag Grover? | Grover is dragged to a tunnel that widens into a massive chasm: the entrance to Tartarus (the place Percy saw in his dream). |
| What saves Grover? | He hits a rock, and the left winged shoe comes off. He slows down by grabbing the rock. The remaining right shoe also comes off and flies into the pit to join its twin. |
| What is the sound coming from the pit? What happens when they retreat? | a deep, evil whisper that is growing louder. Annabeth recognizes it as the entrance to Tartarus. A cold blast of wind pulls at their backs as if the entire pit were inhaling, nearly sucking them in. |
| What are Hade's palace gates like? | Two story tall bronze gates engraved with scenes of death, including modern ones like atomic bombs and famine victims (prophecies come true) |
| What is in the courtyard garden? | Poisonous shrubs, luminous plants, piles of rubies and diamonds, and Medusa's petrified statues (children, satyrs, centaurs) |
| What is the garden of Persephone? | The garden of Persephone is filled with pomegranate trees: eating the fruit would prevent them from ever leaving the Underworld. |
| What is the palace interior like? Who guards the doorway? | Palace interior: bronze floor, no ceiling, and every doorway guarded by skeletons in military gear from different eras. |
| What does Hades look like? | He is the first god who truly seems "godlike:. ten feet tall, in black silk robe and a crown of braided gold. He has albino white skin. jet back hair, and a mesmerizing, evil charisma (compared to Hitler or Napoleon). Percy feels submissive |
| What is Hades's throne composed of? | made of fused human bone. His robes appear to be stitched of trapped, torment-filled souls |
| what does Hades accuse Percy of? | Hades's first accusation: he accused Percy of being a thief and asks: "After what you have done to me, very brave indeed. Or perhaps you are simply very foolish" |
| Who does the empty throne belong to? | The empty throne: The smaller throne of Hades's wife, Persephone, is empty (it is summer, and she is with her mother, Demeter) |
| Hades's Grievances: Hades denies having Zeus's master bolt and wanting to start a war, instead what does he complain to Percy about? | He is not wealthy anymore: he is overburdened by the massive influx of dead souls ("traffic problems" at the judgment pavilion) and high expenses (Charon's Italian suits) |
| What is Hades's biggest complaint? What does Hades accuse Percy of? | Hades's theory about the Master Bolt: He believe Poseidon used Percy to steal the bolt and Hades's Helm of Darkness to start a war and blackmailed him into supporting POseidon |
| After Hades reveals his helm has been stolen, what does he say he will do if it is not returned? | Hades's Counterproposal: he will "stop death" and have a dead pour back into the world, leading the army with Percy's skeleton, if his helm is not returned. |
| What does Hades demand Percy do? What does Percy find in his backpack? | He demands Percy open his backpack. The "Bowling Ball" Weight: Inside is a two-foot-long metal cylinder, spiked on both ends, humming with energy; Zeus's Master Bolt |
| What does Percy realize? | Percy realizes he has been tricked and set up by the person who gave him the backpack (Ares) |
| What does Hades order Percy to do? | Hades reveals he took Percy's mother and froze her in a shower of gold as leverage. He demands the bolt and the helm in exchange for her life |
| What does Hades confirm? | Hades confirms each pearl only protects a single person-Percy has three. |
| What is Hades's final demand and leverage? | Annabeth and Grover both offer to stay behind so Percy can save his mother and carry out his quest. |
| What are the pearls' limitations | He gives a pearl to Annabeth and Grover, choosing to save his friends and continue the quest, fulfilling the prophecy: "You will fail to save what matters most in the end" |
| What does Percy do? | He vows to return the helm and throws in the final insults /suggestions (Charon's raise, Cerberus's red rubberball) |
| How does PErcy defy Hades? What is the pearls' power? | They smash the pearls'. The fragments explode into milky white spheres and shoot upward, easily passing through solid rock to escape the Underworld. |
| Where is the prophecy/pearls' connection? | The pearls' follow the rules: "What belongs to the sea will always return to the sea" |

| What is going on once they return? | Los Angeles is on fire from the earthquake caused by Hades's rage |
| What must Percy do next? | Percy must now confront the god who tricked him: Ares |
