Mr. Gin takes Percy to an alleyway near the museum, where Percy is attacked by the fury  Alecto , disguised as Mr. Gin to lure Percy away. Grover and Mr. Brunner arrive and rescue Percy from Alecto who flees. When Percy, confused about how Alecto would know his real father, asks of this, Mr. Brunner then tells Percy that he is the son of Poseidon.

In order to prove him right, Chiron takes Percy to his cabin house revealing Poseidon to have built it for him. Inside the cabin, Percy finds artifacts and a Trident resembling to Poseidon, but he still is not convinced. Chiron then explains to Percy the origin of his birth. Millennia have passed since the Titanomachy, Zeus (knowing  Kronos , the father of Zeus, Poseidon and Hades, had overthrew his father, “ Ouranos  ”, and the same way of Zeus overthrowing Kronos as well) created a law of preventing gods from  having children with mortal women, being afraid as the children can become too powerful and become a threat. Unfortunately, Poseidon broke the law when he met and fell in love with Sally Jackson. When the two had given birth to their newborn son, Percy, Hades (wanting revenge on Zeus and Poseidon for banishing him to the Underworld) was informed of this and planned to kill Percy.
