The Chalice of the Gods

To earn these, Percy, Annabeth, and Grover must complete quests for various immortals. Their first task involves Ganymede, Zeus’s cupbearer, who has lost his chalice. If a mortal drinks from the missing vessel, they gain immortality, a situation the team must prevent while navigating magical obstacles in modern-day New York City.
