Chapter Summaries & Analyses

Chapter 11 Summary: “We Win Zero Prize Tickets”

Hebe did not steal Ganymede’s chalice, but she thinks Iris might have. Percy and his friends can find Iris at a farmer’s market at the Lincoln Center on Saturday. Hebe believes that “behind [Iris’s] rainbow peace-and-love facade, she hates Ganymede more than she lets on” (102), making her a prime suspect. Annabeth thanks her, and Grover asks her not to tell anyone about the chalice. Hebe assures them that she will not; she wants to see Ganymede disgraced when Zeus finds out that the chalice is gone at the next feast. Later, at home, Percy reflects on how helpless he felt being eight again. He knows that if he fails to complete this quest, his future plans could be in jeopardy. When he tells his mother about his experiences, she comforts him and assures him that it is normal for even demigods to doubt themselves.

Chapter 12 Summary: “Ganymede Gets Me a Refill”

A few days later, Ganymede visits Percy at school to get an update on his quest; Percy tells him about his misadventure at Hebe Jeebies and his plans to meet Iris. Later, Percy calls Annabeth via Iris-message, the magical demigod alternative to cell phones.
