Furthermore, another thing common between these two heroes was that both of these characters try to repent for the crimes they committed.

Perseus and Percy both have a brains over brawn theme. Although it is modernized in The Lightning Thief because Percy goes to a special camp for half bloods, which is more realistic nowadays. When Perseus tries to cut off Medusa's head, he looks through the reflection on his mirroring shield, while it is much more modern in the book as Percy looks through a reflection on a glass. The items in The Lightning Thief are more updated. In the book Percy uses a lot more knowledge than in the myth.

Percy Jackson draws on the legend of Perseus by changing some of the characters to fit a more modern time zone instead, the quest was also slightly changed. It transforms the legend b modernizing the theme and whole story to be more appealing to kids of this day and age.

Though they are similar, they have many differences between each other. Hercules was unfathomably strong. He was the strongest man on the Earth and could defeat anything he encountered. On the other hand, Theseus was such a great thinker.
