Flying shoes. He can't use them because the doesn't know how to use them.
Luke gives Percy a pair of flying shoes that were given to him by his father Hermes. Percy cannot use them because Zeus has a grudge against him and he wants to stay out of the sky-gods domain.
In the "Percy Jackson" series by Rick Riordan, the demigod Percy Jackson does not have the ability to fly. However, some demigods in the series possess the power of flight through various means, such as using magical artifacts like winged shoes or harnessing their divine parentage to manifest wings. Flying abilities are often tied to specific gods or goddesses in Greek mythology, with each demigod's powers reflecting their unique heritage and strengths.
That he was wearing the ( cursed ) flying shoes that Luke had given to him. Percy, being the son of Poseidon, wold be entering Zeus' air/domain, whic meant that Percy wouldn't be able to wear them. He gave them to Grover, and when they went to the Underworld, the shoes nearly dragged grover into Tartarus, but Percy and Annabeth saved him. Grover confuses everything he touches, even the curse on the shoes. If Percy had been wearing the shoes, he would have went straight into Tartarus.
ClimaxThe climax of the story is when the Master Bolt appears in his backpack. Thanks to Ares, Hades's Helm and the bolt appears in his backpack and he hardly gets out of the underworld alive. Luke had made the flying shoes that he gave Percy, but Percy then gave them to Grover because he didn't have a magical thing with him. The shoes made Grover speed to get the Underworld and Percy and Annabeth follow him. The anticlimax occured at the end of the story, when Percy gave Zeus back his Lightning Bolt, not that he took it in the first place, Hades did, wanting his helm back.
