 In Chapter 7 of "The Lightning Thief," which is part of the "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" series by Rick Riordan, Percy Jackson begins to understand more about the world of the Greek gods and his own identity within it. The title of Chapter 7 is "My Dinner Goes Up in Smoke," and in this chapter, Percy learns about the summer solstice deadline, which is an important element in the plot because it is when Zeus has demanded the return of his stolen lightning bolt.

During this chapter, Percy sits at the Poseidon table during his first dinner at Camp Half-Blood and discovers that he is the only one at his table, as he is the only known child of Poseidon at the camp. He’s still coming to terms with the fact that he is a demigod and the son of Poseidon. A hellhound unexpectedly attacks him during the dinner, showing that Percy is not even safe among friends. This event leads to Percy being claimed by Poseidon as his son, which is a huge moment for Percy because it confirms his divine parentage. The claiming also raises tension at the camp because the existence of a child of one of the Big Three gods (Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades) is a violation of a treaty made between the brothers. The chapter is filled with action, confusion, and the start of Percy's understanding of his place in this new and dangerous world.
