The theme of power is often explored. Percy's adoption by Aphrodite may give him different powers or abilities related to her domain. He has to learn how to control and use these powers, and sometimes he might even struggle with the temptation to misuse them. For example, the power of charm could be used for good or for personal gain, and Percy has to make that moral choice.
