Summary
Percy never quite articulated why he didn't like to be called Perseus, as a child. He just did. He wasn't like the Maximilians or the Alexanders, who could shorten their names to Max or Alex. Percy was almost as long as Perseus. And it wasn't quite so long as for merely writing it to eat into the precious little time he was allowed on those timed math tests every elementary school seemed to love.
But nonetheless, Percy felt better than Perseus, and without an easy reason, he never explained it to anyone, not even himself. It weighed less than Perseus, so he was Percy, not Perseus. It took a long time before it occurred to him that weighed less and weightless were two very different things.
