Final Thoughts

If you make a deal with another person, it is really important that both members do what they are supposed to. In this case, Percy completed his part, but Geryon not so that caused Percy to get angry and kill the monster. If someone doesn´t do what he should do in a deal, that will cause anger in the other person like in this scenario that Percy´s anger was so big that he decided to fight and kill Geryon. Having a person in which you can trust is probably one of the important and most valuable things in a person´s life.
