He is a 13 year old demi god who is the son of Poseidon. Another main character is Annabeth, she is also a 13 year old demi god but she is the daughter of Athena, and Annabeth is a good friend of Percy's. Grover who is a Satyr and has been sent by the gods to protect Percy is also a main character in this novel. The Cyclops, Tyson, also known as brother of Percy and Son of Poseidon is also a main character in this novel. All of these characters have their own traits. Percy was smart.

I think what motivated them to go and get the golden fleece was the fact that Grover was trapped and in a dangerous situation. They would have went anyways but this made them two times more willing to go on the
