*** It's more likely because Zeus, being the egotistical god he is, is known to almost always [[FailedASpotCheck overlook certain clues]]. He's too arrogant and is known to always assume that his brothers, Poseidon and Hades, are always plotting to declare war against him to overthrow him (which is ''far'' from the truth). While the other twelve Olympians are powerful in their own right, Zeus would hardly consider them a threat, minus the Big Three ''and'' their children.
*** Adding to this, it's likely Zeus ''knew'' Percy wasn't the Lightning Thief, but as Percy points out in book two, he just wants to find someone to blame who are considered major threats solely due to their blood connection to the Big Three or even the Titans. That's also why Zeus wanted Chiron fired from camp, due to his blood relation to Kronos. He knew Chiron didn't actually have a role in poisoning Thalia's tree; he just blames him for not being able to cure it. Zeus is a "guilty under Zeus' ego until proven innocent" type of god.

* Percy's weak spot with the Curse of Achilles is the small of his back. Given his big thing, for both good and [[FatalFlaw ill]] is personal loyalty, being stabbed in the back would be the sort of thing he would never think of, or be the one thing that could truly get his goat.

* Annabeth's fatal flaw is hubris, or deadly pride. Her life has always been difficult, feeling like she was unwanted and a danger to her family. They were always being attacked by monsters and she felt her father and stepmother blamed her for them. At seven, she ran away from home with nothing but the clothes on her back and a hammer for fighting monsters, and she spent the next year surviving on the streets with Luke and Thalia until they made it to camp. Maybe pride is her fatal flaw because, for a long time, it was all she had to hold on to--something that made her feel like she deserved to live.

* Not sure if this should go in brilliance or not, but Meta example either way: Dionysus as the director of Camp Half-Blood. If you know '''''anything''''' about Dionysus, he's '''technically''' a half-blood himself. Only reason he's divine is because his mom died before he was born and Zeus sewed him into his thigh so he'd be born at term.

** Rachel thought she was going crazy for years until Percy explained to her that everything she was seeing was real. Has any clearsighted mortal ever been institutionalized because they were able to see monsters that no one else could, and nobody ever believed them? And if they were, remember that humane psychiatry and mental health care are relatively recent developments, and for a long time, people who were mentally ill (or thought to be mentally ill) were locked up in insane asylums, mistreated and even lobotomized--often with an ice pick through the eyeball.

** Come to think of it, so many awful things can happen to mortals. They can wander into the Labyrinth and die there. They can be attacked and eaten by random monsters, with the likelihood increasing if they're in close proximity to a demigod. They can wander into Aunty Em's Garden Gnome Emporium and be turned into statues. They can be born with clear sight and spend their whole lives wondering if they're going crazy from seeing monsters no one else can see. Any boy who accidentally sees the Hunters' camp will be turned into a jackalope by Artemis. Any man who winds up on Circe's island will be turned into a guinea pig and sold to a pet store. The vast majority of these people who die will probably never be found and their loved ones will never know what happened to them.
