Overall leaderboard →About the Percy Jackson quiz
Percy Jackson began as a 12-year-old boy who discovers he's a demigod, the son of a mortal woman and the sea god Poseidon, and is sent to a summer camp for demigods, in Rick Riordan's series blending Greek mythology with modern-day American settings and characters. The five original novels, published between 2005 and 2009, opened with "The Lightning Thief," a story that can't be separated from the older myths behind it: Zeus, Hades, Medusa, and the Minotaur.
The 2 quizzes on this page draw questions from three levels. Easy rounds stick to the franchise itself: casting names like Logan Lerman, Walker Scobell, and Alexandra Daddario, or basics about Percy's father Poseidon and his friend Grover. Medium rounds move into the wider pantheon — Athena's owl, Hermes's stolen cattle, Ares's grim reputation. Hard rounds pull from the deeper myths Riordan builds on, from the Hydra's regrowing heads to Daedalus's wax wings, across 20 questions in total.
Frequently asked questions
What does this Percy Jackson quiz cover?
This page mixes questions on Rick Riordan's novels, the two Percy Jackson films, and the Disney+ series, along with the Greek mythology that underpins all three — the gods, monsters, and heroes Percy encounters along the way.
How are the quiz levels different?
Start with the easy level if you know the movies and show best; it leans on cast and character basics. Move to medium for the gods' symbols and family ties, and save hard for the monster lore and side myths that only careful readers of the books tend to catch.
