The ancient Greeks called the ferryman to the underworld Charon. He would take dead people across

Charon to take them across the river, or else they wouldn’t find peace in the afterlife.

Why do you think Luke, son of Hermes, and demigod camp leader, put the lightning bolt inside the shield and set Percy up? Explain your theory and use details from the story to support your ideas.
