“So why exactly are you named after me” Ahhh it’s finally time for my expanded knowledge of this series intended for preteens to be somewhat useful Sally names Percy after Perseus for one simple and rly sweet wholesome reason, Perseus is the only major Greek hero who gets a happy ending, everyone else, Jason, Hercules, Theseus etc etc all end with horrible tragedy’s, not Perseus though, he actually achieves everything he wanted and ends his story peacefully and happily. Percy’s full name is Perseus because Sally is a super loving mother and an optimist who wants the best for him and in the end Percy does get his own “happy ever after” so it kinda works, in a way TLDR: Percy is named after Perseus because Sally is a 10/10 mom

I'm actually rereading the Heroes of Olympus series right now. I figured that after so many years and now that I'm an adult I would find it childish but I still find it extremely entertaining.
Let me clarify. He was the first one to break it. Second was Poseidon. Hades never broke because the last of his kids were born a few years before the oath
@@marikroyals7111 that was part of it yes but it was mostly due to the prophecy that a child of one of the big 3 would have the power/choice cant remember which to overthrow the olympians which is why the olympians discuss killing percy in the titans curse book

Hades: *the only one who stuck to the oath and didn’t have anymore children* Don’t come at me saying he did. He didn’t because Nico and Bianca were born before the oath but he didn’t want Zeus to kill them so he hid them away in a place they didn’t age.

Fun fact: the reason why Percy Jackson was named after Perseus was because percys mom new most Greek demigods didn’t have happy endings but Perseus was the only few demigods who had one and Percys mom wanted Percy to have a happy ending
Also historically speaking Perseus was thought of the Pinnacle of heroism he had no flaws whatsoever and could overcome any obstacle so that's probably another reason why she named him Percy.
The biggest lie in movie history is when Percy Jackson is told that children born of the three big gods is something that is rare. Zeus got a little confused when he said that.
To be fair they said *in modern times* with the justification that big demigods running around throwing lightning everywhere would be bad for modern society
@@JesseGolo since modern society didn't include magic teenagers anymore. And if civilization fades, so do the gods. It's literally: 'Don't make children or die' for Zeus. But like many chainsmokers, long-term consequences can't deter him from Party-Time.
@@JesseGolo well in the Percy Jacksonverse they need society to survive. Their power is tied to society and they move with the West, WW2 was basically a fight caused by the children of the big 3.
I mean given the way mythology works there isn’t really a canon as the stories were passed down by many people and there were often many different versions of them rather than one decided story so really the only reason PJO can’t be considered a legitimate part of Greek mythology is because Rick Riordan is not a part of that culture and therefore could not count as adding to their stories. But if he were… I think it kind of would count?
I mean, considering that the events of the book take place thousands of years after the events of the original myths, it's kind of hard for it to contradict anything. Then again, Rick does take some artistic license with some stories... but then again, so did *every* writer in classical mythology.
Kind of? They all had common sources however which is why like the *majority* of the mythos doesn't contradict itself more often, like a religion, if you told everyone Jesus's best friend has a modern day descendant and they would go on super cool adventures and stuff, people wouldn't say it's canon, but would still be used to tell canon, but Percy Jackson takes this an extra step further in taking *lots* of it's own artistic liberty's sharing like half-a-quarter of the actual mythos of Greek and telling it as if it were canon, which we can't blame them for, they have movies to sell and a good story to tell
It’s interesting how Rick chose to portray the roman gods as split personalities of the greek gods, which is actually at least half the reason the gods aren’t helping much in the heroes of Olympus series. Because most of them are either having an identity crisis/violently whipping between personalities or picking up the slack for those that are
@@mohammedyousef4005especially Minerva/Athena. The romans needed the hell out of Athena, taking away all her combat capability because they feared her and how attached she was the Greek life and government
Alright time to out myself with the other nerds down here: He's named that because Sally recognized that Perseus was the only hero who really got a decent ending. To be fair, her life was pretty bad until that point, so she was probably looking for anything to make sure her son didn't suffer the same way she ever did.
Well, technically he is still getting suffering from both Gods and Titans/Giants. Mostly the gods. Who torment him with quest, fighting monsters, near death experients and getting his ass whoop multiple time the spand of seven and a half years. But hey, atleast he still have a happy ending with Annebath. That's a plus :D
This comment just made me realize that Sally probably grew up being able to see through the Mist, and so having to learn that not everyone is like that and that most people would think she was lying or crazy if she talked about it. It must have been hella confusing for her and I honestly feel kinda bad for her now. But now she's not only an adult, but also a mother, and has learned to deal with it, being able to see things that others can't. I wonder what it would've been like if she couldn't see through the Mist. Would she still have had Percy? Idk, I kinda got sidetracked thinking about it all. But it does pique my curiosity to think about it.
He was named after him by his mom Sally cause Perseus was one of the very rare few demigods who didn't go evil and didn't die tragically. Sally was basically trying to give Percy the best shot in life.
"Zeus took an oath?" "Yep." "Why?" "Because the last time the children of Zeus, Poseidon and Hades fought each other, it was the most destructive human conflict in history."

When they said Zeus took an oath not to have any more kids I spat out my holy water and am now questioning reality- My education of Overly Sarcastic Productions...
It was because Sally, his mom, named him after Perseus because he was one of the few demigods to live a longer life. She hoped that by naming Percy after that demigod, it would give him some luck.
He’s named that way because his mom liked the story for 1 reason… he had a happy ending. The cause of what seemed like the worst thing that happened to him but was secretly a blessing in disguise, the cause died in an accident when Perseus was playing basically ultimate frisbee.
If Zeus is bound to the oath but Jupiter isn’t, and they’re the same god, that would mean that Jason and Thalia are simultaneously half-siblings _and_ full siblings. Also, isn’t it a good thing that Zeus has been cutting back on his sexual activity? He even stuck with the same woman for his last two kids.
That makes no sense, no matter if it was zeus or jupiter they would still be half siblings since the mother is not the same. They cant be full siblings unless is the the same mother and father
@@ghostly_number They do,Jason and Thalia Grace are children of Beryl Grace who was either a singer or an actress (I can't remember which) the woman who got both Zeus and Jupiter's attention. You can look it up.
I get so confused every time anyone says Zeus only has one daughter. Like ancient texts says Zeus has been throwing it back since written word was invented. 😂
More fitting than you think Basically In the on universe there was a prophecy that a child of one of the big three may destroy Olympus so they made an oath of no more demigod children, But of course even the threat of the literal apocalypse wasn't enough to deter Zeus for long
More accurately would be "He only had one mortal daughter in the last few decades." He obviously still had tons of kids before that and the oath never said "No kids" just "No DEMIGOD kids" sooo...
He also has a son in the series So sad what happens to him though I mean he litterly gets kidnapped as a child and the thing in the trials of Apollo series
I laugh at all the Percy Jackson fans and Hellenic nerds but tbh I’d probably be the same if Egyptian mythology had as much pop culture exposure as Greek mythology. I’m aware of the Kane Chronicles and a couple lesser known series. But other than that and references in multi-pantheon media (like Smite or American Gods), there’s not been as much acknowledgement to ancient Egypt as there has been to ancient Greece in pop culture, comparatively speaking.
Zeus: *Takes an oath not to have children* Also Zeus: *Shapeshifts so he can have more children* Honestly that sounds like something he would actually do in mythos
he was named after perseus because his mom knew that perseus was one of the only charcters in greek mythology to get a good ending im pretty sure they said that in the books
The reason why Percy Jackson is named after Perseus is because he’s the only Greek hero that has a good ending or at least the only one we don’t hear the end of his story being a tragic death
@@giantmastersword fun fact he does actually had plenty of kids in actual mythology although most of them are atributed to other gods or are adopted with exception of makaria
He was wholesome. He was the only God the care about his child to visit them. If anything he said he regretted having children because their lives are sometimes harder than other demigods.
I immediately read the colon that was placed after the word edit as a face since it was immediately followed up with a capital O. It looks like a face of shock or surprise, which I guess is fitting for the situation. Just :O
Percy's mom: let's hope that if I give you the name perseus you wont have a tragic life His luck: HAHAHHAHAHHHHHABAHAHHAHS yes right let's mess with this child like crazy
Zeus: “I swear to never go down and sleep with mortals again!”
All Other Gods in Every Pantheon: “Hahahaha. Right”
All of the panteon: "Like that will ever happen"

Also, isn’t it a good thing that Zeus has been cutting back on his sexual activity? He even stuck with the same woman for his last two kids.
That makes no sense, no matter if it was zeus or jupiter they would still be half siblings since the mother is not the same. They cant be full siblings unless is the the same mother and father
@@ghostly_number They have the same mother.
@@melindamelton5612 do they?? I dont remember that.
@@ghostly_number They do,Jason and Thalia Grace are children of Beryl Grace who was either a singer or an actress (I can't remember which) the woman who got both Zeus and Jupiter's attention. You can look it up.
@@melindamelton5612 dang i need to read the books again, i dont remember that at all
Perceus: "I'm confuse"
Percy: "We all are"
Percy was named after Perseus because Perseus is the only hero in classic Greek mythology to have a full blown happy ending.
I think Poseidon named Percy, Percy to piss off Zeus
I get so confused every time anyone says Zeus only has one daughter. Like ancient texts says Zeus has been throwing it back since written word was invented. 😂
More fitting than you think
Basically In the on universe there was a prophecy that a child of one of the big three may destroy Olympus so they made an oath of no more demigod children,
But of course even the threat of the literal apocalypse wasn't enough to deter Zeus for long
More accurately would be "He only had one mortal daughter in the last few decades."
He obviously still had tons of kids before that and the oath never said "No kids" just "No DEMIGOD kids" sooo...
He also has a son in the series
So sad what happens to him though
I mean he litterly gets kidnapped as a child and the thing in the trials of Apollo series
"I'm confused"
"We all are"
It is 4 in the morning, I should not be laughing this hard
Percy was named that way because perseus was like the only demigod in mythology who didnt have a horrible end
Funfact! Percy's mother named him after Perseus in hopes that the name would grant him good luck.
I adore Percy Jackson and that's how I found this account and I'm so thankfull
"Zeus has got one kid here- Thalia, his daughter."
"Wait, didn't he also have a son as Jupiter named Jason?"
"...Yeah, uh, about that..."
Omg finally someone who has read the trials of Apollo series
@@haniyazahid6397 oh shit he dies?
@@pyromare4879 can't say could have hazeled his way out of it
You should read the book
@@haniyazahid6397 if I can find the book
@@pyromare4879 true
Have you tried a book store ?
Lol 😂 jk jk
If you can't find it maybe try online
The way the conversation starts pretty normal, but gets more and more confusing really reflects how I feel about the Percy Jackson books 🤣
Percy Jackson's world is just Zeus's Born Again purity phase. 😂
Love how Zeus is just making everyone in the family confuse on who is who and what child is who and such..must be a headache for Hera
"I'm confused"
"We all are" is so true in the percy jackson series
Best answer I can think of, he didn't want to bother with Hera hating his kids or wanting to kill them anymore.
Percy got his name because perseus is one of the few heroes that got a happy ending
“I’m confused.”
Me the entire time I read Percy Jackson
I love this 😅😂😂
"Jupiter is Zeus" is the best line of the short
Percy:”So I think I’m like you but way more menacing, and killed twice as many extremely feared Greek monsters and foes.”
I laugh at all the Percy Jackson fans and Hellenic nerds but tbh I’d probably be the same if Egyptian mythology had as much pop culture exposure as Greek mythology.
I’m aware of the Kane Chronicles and a couple lesser known series. But other than that and references in multi-pantheon media (like Smite or American Gods), there’s not been as much acknowledgement to ancient Egypt as there has been to ancient Greece in pop culture, comparatively speaking.
So then you would be the one who is infuriated by The gods of Egypt movie here. Got it.
Rick Riordan did an egyptian series too. I enjoyed it but I don't know much egyptian mythology either.
@@pearcehubbart3767 Really? Didn't know that. Good to know.
Read the Kane Chronicles, its written by Rick Riordan about the Egyptian gods, and they have a crossover with Percy too.
@@pearcehubbart3767 And Norse
I need to read the books again, those stories were so freaking good I love Percy Jackson
Same
“Jupiter is Zeus!” DONT YOU DARE BRING LOGIC INTO THIS!
This guy's channel is the definition of sharing what you like. And I love it I hope you have a great day.
"I'm confused..."
Everyone's line after reading the Trojan war
“I’m confused”
“We all are”
Is the literal definition of Greek Mythology
"No, I am the son of Jack"
Fully expected that
In Sea of Monsters, Percy believes that since Perseus's story had a happy ending, his mom wanted him to have one too.
As a percy jackson fan, i can confirm that this is what would happen if percy met perseus
Minus the name part, he knows why he‘s called after Perseus.
This is great content, but Percy actually _does_ know why he was named after Perseus
I love that Percy and Perseus are both just like "This shit weird bruh"
Zeus is gonna Zeus is pretty much the answer to 99 percent of Greek mythology questions lmao
B-but Jason-
Zeus: *Takes an oath not to have children*
Also Zeus: *Shapeshifts so he can have more children*
Honestly that sounds like something he would actually do in mythos
He did
He turned into a bull and kidnapped a woman and impregnated her.
@@apoorvnednur2367 thank you!
he was named after perseus because his mom knew that perseus was one of the only charcters in greek mythology to get a good ending im pretty sure they said that in the books
The reason why Percy Jackson is named after Perseus is because he’s the only Greek hero that has a good ending or at least the only one we don’t hear the end of his story being a tragic death
I just wish they kept Hades wholesome, like in most myths.
To be fair, he makes time for his kids a whole lot more than any of the others. He just has a very stressful job.
@@giantmastersword fun fact he does actually had plenty of kids in actual mythology although most of them are atributed to other gods or are adopted with exception of makaria
He was wholesome. He was the only God the care about his child to visit them. If anything he said he regretted having children because their lives are sometimes harder than other demigods.
Perseus had the only happy ending.
Not really herakles had a happy ending too oh sorry "Hercules"
Zeus after figuring out what a condom is:
Persuas “I’m confused!!!”
Percy Jackson “We all are.”
Me “ We really all are.”
*Perseus is confusion*
Edit :OMG I typed this right before the moment he said "I'm confused" like I paused it to write this and then he said it
I immediately read the colon that was placed after the word edit as a face since it was immediately followed up with a capital O. It looks like a face of shock or surprise, which I guess is fitting for the situation. Just :O
@@crossoverqueen1775 :O
@@user-kl5xj1xy3x Exactly! :O
It's a pretty common word bro, you really need to calm down
@@Miller-jh2bg yeah kinda I was excited lol
Luv mah confused demigod✨❤
Percy's mom: let's hope that if I give you the name perseus you wont have a tragic life
His luck: HAHAHHAHAHHHHHABAHAHHAHS yes right let's mess with this child like crazy
Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades all vowed to never have any more children. All three of them broke this vow.
AHHH I LOVE THIS IM SO HAPPY YOU WERE RANDOMLY RECOMMENDED
That "I'm confused" really got me 🤣
The whole video got me from the second sentence
In the books Percy Jackson was named after Perseus because he was like one of the only heroes in Greek mythology who got a happy ending
Percy was named after Perseus because his mother thought giving him the name of one of the only heros with a happy ending would be good
