Moreover, there is no explanation as to why Percy was presumed to have stolen the lightning bolt. However, it possibly would have been more appropriate to have Percy steal a thunderbolt, or be accused of stealing a thunderbolt, as Zeus would have more interest in this theft, and it would have presumably made the theft such that a war between the gods would be possible. There is no indication that Zeus was in possession of a lightning bolt, although that would seem to make sense, because Zeus is the god of the sky. This is a slightly different take on the actual story, which was that Zeus was given a gift by the Cyclopes, who helped the Olympians win a war against the Titans, and this gift was not a lightning bolt, but, rather, a thunderbolt (McLeish, 1983).
