Why is Percy Jackson ignorant?

Percy Jackson's ignorance often stems from his lack of exposure to the world of Greek mythology and the hidden truths of his identity as a demigod. Raised as a typical human boy, he initially struggles to understand the supernatural elements around him, which leads to misunderstandings and naivety. Additionally, his reliance on adults and mentors for guidance means he sometimes misses important lessons or context about his heritage and the challenges he faces. As the series progresses, he gradually becomes more knowledgeable and aware of his surroundings.
