Percy Jackson and the Olympians on Disney Plus: Percy Jackson is on a dangerous quest. Outrunning monsters and outwitting gods, he must journey across America to return Zeus’ master bolt and stop an all-out war. After losing his mother, Percy is sheltered at Camp Half-Blood, a sanctuary for demigod children. He must prove himself and confront his origins once he discovers he too is a demigod, and will take off into the perils of pursuing enemies in search of the Underworld.

Turn Off the Light by Kim Petras
Chapter Summary:
Apollo, the Greek God of light, music, healing, truth, and prophecy, has been turned into a mortal teenager called Lester Papadopoulos by his father, Zeus. In the first book of the series, Apollo met the demigod Meg McCaffrey, a 13-year-old girl, who became his “master” after she learned Apollo must serve someone to regain his godhood. To become immortal again, Apollo must consult the oracles, the chief sources of wisdom and future-telling in the series’ universe. Since the main oracles are under the control of three evil emperors from ancient Rome, Apollo and Meg go on a quest to find hidden sources of prophecy. By the end of the first book in the series, Apollo has received a prophecy from the Oracle of the Grove of Dodona but has been separated from Meg.
The prophecy of Dodona guides Apollo and his friends Leo and Calypso to Indiana. In Indianapolis, the three are attacked by blemmyae, monsters under the control of Commodus, the second of the trio of Roman emperors. Apollo and the others are rescued by Emmie and Josephine, two former Hunters of Artemis, who run a safe house called the Waystation.

Feed the Beast - Kim Petras
Chapter Summary:
Apollo, the Greek God of light, music, healing, truth, and prophecy, has been turned into a mortal teenager called Lester Papadopoulos by his father, Zeus. In the first book of the series, Apollo met the demigod Meg McCaffrey, a 13-year-old girl, who became his “master” after she learned Apollo must serve someone to regain his godhood. To become immortal again, Apollo must consult the oracles, the chief sources of wisdom and future-telling in the series’ universe. Since the main oracles are under the control of three evil emperors from ancient Rome, Apollo and Meg go on a quest to find hidden sources of prophecy. By the end of the first book in the series, Apollo has received a prophecy from the Oracle of the Grove of Dodona but has been separated from Meg.
The prophecy of Dodona guides Apollo and his friends Leo and Calypso to Indiana. In Indianapolis, the three are attacked by blemmyae, monsters under the control of Commodus, the second of the trio of Roman emperors. Apollo and the others are rescued by Emmie and Josephine, two former Hunters of Artemis, who run a safe house called the Waystation.

Chapter Summary:
Rachel Elizabeth Dare, Apollo’s priestess and the Oracle of Delphi, flies into the camp using her dad's helicopter. She agrees with Apollo's suspicions that Triumvirate Holdings is behind the attempt to control the Oracles, and that she thinks the missing campers are being led to the Grove of Dodona. Apollo and Meg enter the woods in search of the grove. A geyser spirit or palikos directs them to the gateway to the grove while advertising the woods to the pair. Apollo and Meg are attacked by the ants or myrmeke. Apollo distracts the ants by playing the ukulele, breaking his oath to the River Styx. In the process, another set of ants carry off Meg to their lair.
