^^^ OK, I'd just like to point out that in the first example (with Porphyrion's spear), that wasn't so much strength, as much as it was Percy merely using the Giant't own considerable momentum against him, applying the right amount of force to the right place. The second example (jumping across the river in Tartarus) shouldn't entirely count, since Annabeth herself implies that Percy did so in a combination of hysterical strength and extra strength enhancement from the river's water. Blocking the blow of Kronos and overpowering the Minotaur shouldn't count either, as in both instances his strength and durability were enhanced to immense superhuman levels by the Curse of Achilles, and Percy wouldn't have been unable to do so otherwise.
