Jason. The guy whose only accomplishment was being in a boat with better heroes and having a wife who he fucked over...said wife was Medea who isn't completely innocent either what with all the kinslaying.
Jason, if you needed more proof of her terrible taste.
This is probably the same reaction many Demigods have to Percy's statements!
Looks like she's having second thoughts about hurting Percy
I wonder if she changed her mind about wasting time, or whether she realized it had been enough.
DEFINITELY fond of Percy.
The fact they saw THIS Percy… How interesting…
Uuuhhh, which conversation is stumping you, mate?
1. Is indeed said by Khione. When someone gets worked up emotionally, their accent becoming more noticeable is a common occurrence. It is deliberately unclear why she would have envied Percy, but for those who read the Heroes of Olympus series, a connection can be made regarding the fact that she put emphasis on the existence of the prisons.
The Arcturus myth was also merged, as Khione states in the chapter that her mother sacrificed a Name for her. OREITHYIA amd KHIONE, nymph consorts of Boreas were merged into one, with the Erekhtheus origin. 'Arcturus' instead refers to Arkas, son of Kallisto, the former Hunter of Artemis. There is also a Khione of the River Nile of Egypt, daughter of Neilos as well so it does get confusing, but that's how I'm handling it
Percy is pretty much the 1% (and only because there aren't that many demigods) in every single way you could look at it. How much his divine parent cares? Yup. How much she does to help? Yup. (He's loaded with artifacts, and gets a credit card). Training? Yes. Attention from godly parent? Extreme Yes, completly breaking the scale (besides the fact that his mom is actually being his mom, she also listens to his prayers, and acts on it). Though to be a little fair, the greek gods have dumb restrictions, so the less powerful ones have that excuse.
Yes, but what stands out to me about this chapter isn't the ways that we know Percy is the 1% (that's been a constant thing throughout the story), but rather the catalyst of how much he knows it, how aware he is of it and how much he acknowledges what it means, and the responsibilities that come with it.
Percy has had visions of canon since Chapter 1. The scene in this chapter was of Luke's fall in the Titan's Curse. Not sure what kind of subtext you are referring to, its her solution to the whole Sky falling down without Atlas that was the problem, not that Athena was the one doing the consuming.
We actually went back over canon with a comb on the SB thread and....everything I said earlier about there being restrictions? Yeah. Any mention of laws keeping parents from kids came from the non-canon PJO movies. That's not in the books. There is no mention of anything of the sort in the books. The absolute closest, is Athena's insistence that children must be raised by mortal parents to Frederick Chase. However, no where does that imply the immortal parent can't stay to raise them as well. Demigods in Percy Jackson and the Greek Gods were raised by godly parents such as Khione's son Eumolpus by his goddess half-sister, Orpheus by his mother, Achilles and his mother, etc. Dionysus in canon mentions raising Castor and Pollux. No such law was mentioned when it came to Hades taking Nico to the Underworld or Poseidon offering to bring Sally to Atlantis.
