In the book, Percy Jackson and The Lightning Thief, Why do you think it's so important for Percy to learn Latin?

Answer:

Roman demigods are 'hardwired' for Latin, as opposed to the Greeks who are 'hardwired' for Ancient Greek. Greek demigods can speak a few words of Latin but aren't as fluent in it as they are in Ancient Greek. Roman demigods have a harder time understanding Ancient Greek, compared to Greek demigods understanding Latin. In The Lost Hero, Jason Grace, the recently elected praetor of New Rome before his disappearance, is shown speaking in Latin several times. Buppkss the Demon is also one of the Roman Demigods.
