In RealLife, Alexander the Great had a burgeoning [[AGodAmI god complex]]. His mother allegedly told him he was actually fathered by Zeus, and he would eventually try to pull off a GodEmperor role. As the Percy Jackson universe is one where the Greek gods actually exist and [[BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy some famous historical people are confirmed as being demigods]], it's entirely possible [[HistoricalInJoke Alexander's claims are a reality in this setting]]. Personality-wise Alexander shares some Zeus characteristics; an incredibly capable and wise man with [[{{Pride}} serious]] [[HairTriggerTemper character]] [[MyopicConqueror flaws]], and [[RealityIsUnrealistic his IRL accomplishments as a conqueror seem like they'd be part of a Greek legend]]. Like the other of the Big 3 Zeus fathered some major figures in World War II, so perhaps a couple millennia before he fathered another really influential political and military figure.

Because Annabeth is gonna be Black in the series, and I doubt they're gonna make Athena Black to match.

[[WMG: Hades/Pluto is Adolf Hitler's grandfather.]]
It's initially implied that Hitler was a demigod from Hades/Pluto, as the children of the Big 3, and Hazel notes that the god of the underworld has a very strong resemblance to him. However the author has confirmed that Hitler ''is not'' a demigod. However, there's still room to say he's related: Adolf Hitler wouldn't be considered a demigod even if his own father was. Historically Alois Hitler was illegitimate and while his future step-father may have been his real dad, the identity of Adolf Hitler's biological grandfather isn't confirmed. So the reason why there's a resemblance is because Hitler is a ''grandson'' of one of the Big 3. [[EveryoneHasStandards Naturally, Zeus still felt it added to why they should stop having children with mortals]] even if with the Fuhrer there was a generational gap. By extension, this would make Hitler Nico and Hazel's nephew.

* It's possible that it was made as a spotter's guide to monsters. It's so accurate that Nico recognizes the manticore and catoblepas on sight. Even the Roman demigods play it. It was probably made as a fun way for demigods to learn about monsters, especially since most demigods have ADHD and don't generally do well in classrooms.

It would explain why he's so powerful: after all, in Mycenaean Greece, Poseidon was the King of the Gods. And Percy has tapped into the "Earthshaker" aspect of Mycenaean Poseidon in Mount Saint Helens. And he managed to sit on Poseidon's Throne longer than most probably could. True, it's never stated if the Mycenaean iterations of the Gods existed or not, but if they did exist at one point, and became the modern versions of the Greek Gods, it would be fascinating to explore.

[[WMG: The Percy Jackson books are a roundabout recruitment tactic by Luke]]

Luke thought that writing a book series (or rather, having a proxy writer possibly influenced via the mist write a book series) to show how bad the gods are would be a great way to recruit other half-bloods. Especially if they hadn't made it to camp yet. However, he knew that telling his story wouldn't be the greatest read, especially for a book series aimed at kids and young adults, so he decided to detail Percy's adventures instead, which still have plenty examples of the gods being [[JerkassGod jerkasses]] while also being more fun and less depressing. Unfortunately, he never counted on people taking Percy's side.

The proxy author, Rick Riordan, was later hired on as a Scribe for Camp Half-Blood.

Persephone is a goddess of chaos and what better way to sow chaos than to have her husband's kids get involved in history? However, the events of WWII soured her opinion towards sons of Hades and she's frosty with Nico and will remain so until he proves he won't turn out like Hitler.

In the first two books, Annabeth talks about her stepmother as an AbusiveParent who hates her for attracting monsters and doesn't want her kids living with a freak, but when we actually see Mrs. Chase in ''The Titan's Curse,'' she doesn't act or sound like that kind of person, and seems to be a perfectly nice and kind woman. In the same scene, Frederick confuses the names of Annabeth's two brothers (stepbrothers? half-brothers?), which would be very odd if they were his biological children. So, Frederick has been married twice: first, to the unnamed WickedStepmother, who he eventually divorced (and she took her two children with her when she left, not wanting them to be attacked by monsters), and then to another woman (the red-haired Mrs. Chase described in the books) who coincidentally also had two children.

[[WMG:Smelly Gabe is a [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40k Psychic Blank]] like [[Literature/CiaphasCain Jurgen]] ]]
In ''Warhammer'', a Blank (Null, Pariah, etc.) is someone who is (mostly) immune to magic and psychic powers. They're not so immune that they can't be transported through the Warp (the hell dimension used for FTL travel), but they can see through illusions, disrupt nearby spells, and are generally unpleasant for psykers and magical entities. Even normal people instinctively dislike them.\\
Jurgen is a Blank, and one of the first things anyone notices about him is that he smells terrible. It's implied that it's not just hygiene; he still had that smell after he bathed. People around him can also see through illusions when they're close enough to smell him.\\
Like Jurgen, Gabe's scent masks Percy's powerful demigod stench. He can still be killed by magic, like Medusa's head.
