Mount Olympus. She was born from Jupiter's head.
Percy sends Medusa's head to Mount Olympus as a means of delivering a warning to the gods about the dangers posed by monsters and to assert his place in their world. He believes that by sending this trophy, he can demonstrate his strength and earn respect from the Olympians. While it showcases his bravery and cleverness, it is also a risky move, as it could provoke the gods or lead to unintended consequences. Overall, it reflects Percy’s youthful impulsiveness and desire for recognition, which can be both admirable and reckless.
