Warning: This page contains spoilers for both the first and second series.A Sequel Series to Percy Jackson and the Olympians by Rick Riordan, set a short time after. It is the second set of novels in The Camp Half-Blood Series, and is followed by The Trials of Apollo.The first book, The Lost Hero, introduces a new half-blood named Jason who finds himself in a school bus with absolutely no memory of who or what he is, along with a girl, Piper, and a boy, Leo. The three turn out to be half-bloods and run into Annabeth (from the first series) and someone named Butch, who are looking for the missing Percy Jackson. Jason, Piper, and Leo are sent on a quest to free the captured Hera and end up realizing their destinies are far greater than they ever imagined. Meanwhile, Gaea the Earth Mother is stirring and reveals her plan to take down the gods, who are in no condition to fight her due to their warring Greek and Roman aspects.At around the same time, an amnesiac Percy Jackson finds his way to a haven for Roman demigods — Camp Jupiter — and leads two newbie heroes, Frank and Hazel, on a quest to free Thanatos, the god of death.The two groups unite soon after — Percy, Jason, the four new demigods, and Annabeth join forces to fly a Cool Airship to Rome, with Annabeth following a secret and dangerous mission from her vengeful mother.

Cherry Tapping: Bacchus technically pulls one of these on the two giants after spectating Percy and Jason beating them down for him. He simply steps in after they're done and, after a brief appeal to the crowd of ghosts whether he should or shouldn't, he simply bats them on the nose with his pine-cone staff, finishing them. | |

Alone Among the Couples: This used to be the case for Leo, as the "seventh wheel" among three couples. Not anymore, as of The House of Hades, as he hooks up with Calypso. By the end, most of the characters are in a relationship or have some sort of Ship Tease with someone else (even Tyson and Ella!) except for Reyna. | |

Artistic License – Linguistics | |
The Heroes of Olympus / int_12f078f3 | comment |
Artistic License – Linguistics: In The House of Hades, Piper suggests (and the others generally accept) that when the prophecy says "the world must fall" the "world" means the earth, and therefore in Greek means Gaea. Except the Greek word for world isn't "Gaea" (Γαῖα) or even the generic word for earth "ge" (γῆ). The most common translation of "world" to Greek would be "kosmos" (κόσμος), which isn't a synonym for "earth"/"Gaea". | |

Darker and Edgier: Continuing the trend from the original series, featuring more cases of abuse, Parental Abandonment, and Gayngst. The House of Hades definitely takes the cake out of all five books, though, as it features the aforementioned internalized homophobia and the first villain that the heroes are unable to face and which requires at least two Heroic Sacrifices: Tartarus. | |

Walking Wasteland | |
The Heroes of Olympus / int_16a21271 | comment |
Walking Wasteland: Hazel's life gives off this vibe. Wherever she goes, cursed gems and gold emerge from the earth that could kill innocents who picked them up. Pluto seemed to imply that most of his children are like this to some extent, but Hazel just takes it up to eleven. Nico too. When he gets overly stressed or angry, flowers and grass surrounding him die, the ground cracks, and sometimes nearby spirits or bones become agitated. In some cases, the temperature plummets and frost forms on nearby surfaces. | |

Always Someone Better: Leo and Frank both feel this way about Percy and sometimes Jason. Which is slightly hilarious considering how much Percy himself felt second-best in the previous series, especially concerning Luke. (And even in this series he's still got plenty of insecurities, leading to Leo and Frank's surprise at his down to earth nature once they get to know him). | |

Asskicking Leads to Leadership: This is one of the two possible ways to get promoted to praetor — kick lots of ass on the battlefield. This is still in full effect for General Tyson of the Cyclops Army too. Also the method by which the Amazons can challenge the current queen for the queenship. | |

Playing with Fire | |
The Heroes of Olympus / int_1cc9f5e5 | comment |
This is the reason why Leo is initially afraid of his fire powers: when he was a kid, Gaia visited the workshop where he and his single mother were, with the firm intention of preventing Leo from becoming a powerful enemy; Leo used his powers to try and protect his mother, but lost control and started a fire, accidentally killing her instead. He still has his father, but since he's the god Hephaestus whom Leo only met at 15... | |

The Heroes of Olympus / int_1e584efa | comment |
Camp Jupiter has its own values and very strict laws, many of which involve capital punishment. In particular, in The Blood of Olympus, Reyna has to explain to Nico exactly how serious it is that she technically killed her father, because patricide is amongst the biggest and most horrible crimes in Roman society and automatically condemnable with Cruel and Unusual Death. | |

Chekhov's Gun: The bronze dragon, Festus, first appeared in the short story collection "The Demigod Files". And now Terminus. Seemingly a one-off gag, but then comes back in the climax to help Percy defeat a Giant. Gorgon blood, received when Percy is arriving at Camp Jupiter, and later key to overcoming Phineas the seer and recovering Percy's memories. Chinese handcuffs (or finger cuffs), which Percy and Frank find in Atlanta in The Mark of Athena. Frank, who's confused by them, remembers this and eventually asks Annabeth how they work; she remembers this later and convinces Arachne to create an enormous set, which the spider-woman winds up getting trapped in. | |

Back for the Dead: The Blood of Olympus sees the brief return of The Hunters of Artemis and Hylla's Amazon warriors, only to see a number of them slaughtered by Orion. Hylla and Thalia survive, but Phoebe and Kinzie do not. Festus' dragon form is a subversion. He's back in his full dragon glory for the climactic battle against Gaea only to be blown away. While he and Leo are presumed dead, it turns out that they've actually survived and been blasted to Ogygia. | |

In a straight example, all of the Seven by the end of The Mark of Athena consider each other close friends after all the trials they've been through together. | |

The Heroes of Olympus / int_27074b46 | comment |
Holding Hands: Percy and Reyna after they defeat the invasion and he gets promoted to praetor. Everyone who's paired off by book three. And by "Everyone" we mean "Everyone except Leo". Mostly. Nico and Will though whether as a romantic gesture on the latter's part or not is kind of ambiguous—he did it to show how badly his hands were shaking. He is also a medic and diagnoses Nico through it. A very sweet yet very tragic version with Percy and Annabeth. They're holding hands as they fall into Tartarus together. The entire group in The House of Hades during an emergency shadow-travel trip. | |

Bilingual Bonus: Frank Zhang's grandmother calls him "Fai", which can possibly spelled as "Fei" in certain romanization systems (e.g. Wade-Giles), making his Chinese name possibly "Zhang Fei" (this is how the mainland Chinese translation interprets his name). In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, a book that every Chinese person knows, Zhang Fei was known for two things: being not particularly good looking, and being a superb warrior, capable of scaring off entire armies by himself. | |

Sadly Mythtaken | |
The Heroes of Olympus / int_2ec87029 | comment |
Sadly Mythtaken: A major part of the series is rooted in the misconception that the Roman gods are merely Greek gods who were adopted and tweaked slightly by Roman perceptions, ignoring the fact that the two pantheons originated separately and only became conflated later. The Roman gods were known to have taken on wildly different attributes compared to the familiar Greek ones — Jupiter was a stone on which oaths were sworn, Venus was a patron of vineyards, Mars an agricultural deity... This is also why there exist gods like Janus, who's explicitly a Roman creation with no Greek counterpart. | |

Out of Focus | |
The Heroes of Olympus / int_32da91b8 | comment |
Out of Focus: The first two books focus only on three heroes each before they get united in the Argo II, so it's understandable that they only get cursory mentions in the other. But then the seven are united in The Mark of Athena and some are still more focused than others. The House of Hades is the only book where all seven become narrators. Case in point: The Mark of Athena has Percy, Annabeth, Piper, and Leo as narrators, leaving Jason, Frank, and Hazel out of focus. The Blood of Olympus has Jason, Piper, Leo, Reyna, and Nico as narrators, leaving Percy, Annabeth, Frank, and Hazel out of focus. This means that Piper and Leo have the most time dedicated to them as narrators, and the epilogue of the series are narrated from their perspectives (incidentally, both are the main instruments leading to Gaea's downfall). A lot of major characters from the first series are reduced to minor roles or cameos particularly Grover, Rachel, and Sally. | |

Rummage Fail: When facing off against Lycaon, a nervous Leo reaches into his tool belt for a weapon and initially grabs breath mints before hastily swapping them for a hammer. He hopes no one noticed. This is turned into a Brick Joke seconds later when the perspective switches to Jason, and while evaluating his assets, he thinks about "Leo, who apparently thought he could defeat the armies of darkness with breath mints." | |

Batman Gambit: Double subverted. Percy tricks Phineas into giving up the location of Alcyoneus' lair, but it involves using himself as blackmail against Gaea and gambling that she'll come through for him. It works. Annabeth pulls off a beautiful one in The Mark of Athena; it takes real nerve to talk your enemy into literally sticking her head into a trap, and that's after getting her to make the trap in the first place. | |

Noodle Incident: The first time Nico, Reyna and Hedge shadow-travel (off-screen) they wind up in Albania and something happens that Reyna describes as "possibly the most humiliating experience of her long career." The three swear never to speak of it again. She also worries that the Athena Parthenos will shout "DIE UNBELIEVERS" and attack tourists because that's apparently what happened the last time she dealt with a giant statue of a goddess. She calls the experience "not relaxing." | |

Blessed with Suck | |
The Heroes of Olympus / int_3c3f28a5 | comment |
Blessed with Suck: A good portion of the main cast has to deal with powers that can be either crappy or awesome, depending on the situation: Leo, in addition to his technological talent, has fire powers. Great for fighting monsters, right? Yeah, except for the fact that said powers are difficult to control and extremely dangerous. Just ask Leo's mom. Oh, wait, you can't: she died in a fire started by accident by her son. And apparently the last son of Hephaestus with the ability started the Great Fire of London. So that should give you an idea of what we're dealing with here. Hazel can summon precious minerals from underground as per her mother's wish. While the ability has come in useful before, it absolutely ruined her first life, as the stones curse anyone who holds onto them... Frank Zhang has to deal with both. His life force is tied to a stick, and if it burns down completely, he dies. However, the fire from the stick has been shown to be able to free Death himself; who knows what other awesome stuff it could do. Also, his animorphism could be considered one, since his life was linked to the stick specifically to balance the sheer awesomeness of said powers. | |

It wasn't a totally one-sided battle, but they really gave him a beatdown. Inverted in The House of Hades, regarding Tartarus. If anything, Bob and Damasen's last stands are only really done to help Percy and Annabeth escape before they get inevitably offed by Tartarus, considering what happens to Hyperion and Krios just a short while ago. To date, he's the only villain in the entire series whom the heroes are completely aghast and helpless in facing, not to mention being ultimately The Unfought. | |

Ungrateful Bastard: The Olympians in general tend to be this, making several characters wonder how they are better than the Titans or giants.

A amnesiac Percy gains two vials of gorgon blood by killing the gorgon sisters Euryale and Stheno, where earlier it was revealed that blood from their right side can heal anything, while the blood from their left side is lethal. Percy later on uses the blood in a deal with Phineas, where they each drink a vial. Gaia thankfully made sure that Percy drank the healing blood instead of the lethal onenote Thus killing Phineas by extension.. The healing blood returns Percy's memory. | |

Formerly Fat | |
The Heroes of Olympus / int_4c9d2176 | comment |
Formerly Fat: Frank Zhang appears in the series as a big and pudgy teenager combining a bulky wrestler body and a baby-like face that makes him look like a "cuddly koala bear". Comes The House of Hades and his father, Mars, offers him his "blessing" which gives Frank a body fitting a perfect Roman warrior: bulkier chest, broader shoulders, sturdier face, three inches taller, all while losing his "spare tire" of a gut. As other people point out, he becomes so solid and strong you can't call him "pudgy" or "cudly" anymore - he looks now more like a football linebacker or a bull of a young man. | |

White Male Lead | |
The Heroes of Olympus / int_4eb66c8d | comment |
White Male Lead: In a sequel series that seems to amp up the minorities compared to its predominantly Caucasian prequel, Percy and Jason still stand out as being the attractive, white, straight, cisgender male powerhouses among the Seven, and the lynchpins of Hera's plans. The series as a whole starts to subvert this: In The Son of Neptune, Frank is the official leader of the quest. In The Mark of Athena, Jason and Percy acknowledge Annabeth as the leader of the quest and responsible for searching out the Athena Parthenos. In The House of Hades, Jason promotes Frank to praetorship to lead the ghost army. | |

Easy Amnesia | |
The Heroes of Olympus / int_55b1f9a1 | comment |
Easy Amnesia: Zigzagged. Both Jason and Percy have their memories stolen by Hera/Juno, but get them back a few days after joining the other camp of demigods. Jason joins the Greeks almost immediately after waking up with amnesia, but only gets most of his memories back at first. The rest take presumably months to return. Percy wakes up with and spends roughly two months with only the faintest memory of Annabeth and little else, but gets all of his memory back pretty much all at once. While this is appropriate, as Jason needed time to learn to trust the Greeks while Percy's Fatal Flaw allowed him to trust the Romans quickly, YMMV as to whose amnesia was easier. Percy's memories returning quickly was also partly caused by his drinking gorgon's blood. | |

BlackAndGreyMorality | |
The Heroes of Olympus / int_588d766f | comment |
Black-and-Grey Morality: On a supernatural level, with the Olympians being a dark grey and the giants being black. In the third book Percy thinks the gods are marginally better than the giants, but far from what can be considered "good." Calypso makes a similar remark in the fourth book that the gods are somewhat better than the Titans and Giants. Jupiter himself is noted to be far from a good role model despite his status as king and moral leader. The heroes tend to be more "white," but several of the characters who sided with the giants did so for the same reasons the Titans had an army in the first book series...the gods tend to be horrible to those who do not deserve it. | |

Beta Couple: An odd case as in a meta sense Jason/Piper and Frank/Hazel are clearly this to Official Couple Percy and Annabeth whose relationship is a cornerstone of the series and receives the most focus. However within the books themselves Percy and Annabeth come across as the Beta Couple since they have the strongest, most stable relationship of the group (already having a long friendship and Will They or Won't They? history under their belt from the previous series) and act as models and advice-givers to the two fledgling couples, who are a lot less secure. | |

As Long as There Is Evil: Pointed out in chapter LXI of The House of Hades. Percy notices that the great crowd of monsters he sees in Tartarus includes monsters that he fought before. No matter how many times he kills them, they will just regenerate and come back later — a realization that fills Percy with dread and hopelessness. However, he realizes that even if monsters will keep on fighting, so too will future generations of demigods. | |

Sequel Hook | |
The Heroes of Olympus / int_6293c185 | comment |
Sequel Hook: It's not very obvious like the last time, though, because it doesn't involve any of the demigods (who get Happily Ever After). Apollo's control over foresight does not return even after Gaea's defeat, which probably means no more prophecies. Furthermore, Zeus is angry at Apollo as the latter didn't tell him about the prophecy and promises a punishment for him. This segues right into The Trials of Apollo. | |

Emotions vs. Stoicism: A running theme in Piper and Annabeth's friendship in The Blood of Olympus— the former is a daughter of the love goddess and trusts her natural instincts, while Annabeth, as a daughter of the goddess of wisdom, adheres to logic and strategy above all else.

Heroic Sacrifice: Percy is initially thought to have killed himself to take out a ghost army that threatened Hazel and Frank. Then, after defeating Alcyoneus, they go back to the glacier only to find Percy there, totally unperturbed at bringing a glacier down on himself. Played straight in The Mark of Athena when Percy (he really does tend to do this often) throws himself down to Tartarus to protect Annabeth. And there are only a few thousand supercharged monsters in his path! Leo Valdez at the end of The Blood Of Olympus, creating a massive explosion that kills himself while destroying Gaea. He gets better. | |

Negate Your Own Sacrifice | |
The Heroes of Olympus / int_66e77d65 | comment |
Negate Your Own Sacrifice: Attempting to do this becomes a major plot point in The Blood of Olympus. Leo seemingly dies trying to stop Gaea, but the reader knows he is alive. Percy does this on a smaller scale in The Son of Neptune, taking out an army by destroying the glacier that he himself is standing on. As the son of Poseidon he's unharmed by falling into water, even from that high up. | |

Ocean of Adventure: The Mark of Athena has the seven traveling from San Francisco to Greece, which includes crossing the Atlantic and sailing the Mediterranean, a sea that holds a fearsome reputation as an ancient home of monsters. Rarely do they get a break, as they are constantly attacked and harassed by monsters, hostile mythological figures and other more mundane dangers, like sinking if they take too much damage. | |

You Can't Fight Fate | |
The Heroes of Olympus / int_7241785e | comment |
You Can't Fight Fate: Played with. As the first series established, prophecies become worse if you try to avoid them, but Zeus points out near the end of the fifth book that there is never a single right answer to fate. There are three Fates, and each enables a different path to be walked, with different results, different paths. So while you can't fight Fate, Fate is perfectly okay with letting you decide how to go about fulfilling it. | |

Jerk Ass Has A Point: At the end, Zeus claims he did not take action so the prophecy would not be limited to a single outcome explaining that the reason there are three fates and prophecies are vague is due to multiple outcomes being possible. The Fates agree that what Zeus says is true. However, since he gave different reasons for closing off Olympus earlier and ignoring the giant threat whether the is true or not is debatable. His past decisions and personality are against him, making it more of a last-minute convenient excuse. | |

Remember the New Guy? | |
The Heroes of Olympus / int_77b03c0a | comment |
Remember the New Guy?: The Roman aspects were not mentioned at all in the original series. However, The Lost Hero justifies this in that the Greek and Roman demigods do not get along at all, hence the need for them to remain hidden from each other. In fact, a clever reader can point out that the only ones explaining the Roman aspects are, of course, Romans, and that the Romans felt this way about the Greeks. (Since Lupa's not one to tell!) Jason Grace himself. Thalia didn't mention having a little brother for several reasons, among them being that the events surrounding his disappearance were quite traumatic for her and that she thought him dead until this series began. The readers are never told that Koios was a part of the Second Titanomachy, yet he appears in The House of Hades as every bit a war veteran as others are. What's even more bizarre is that he pops up literally just once to meet with Bob before running off somewhere without any closure at all. Then again, we see everything of the previous series from Percy's eyes, and it's likely that Koios was part of the Othrys Front that's mentioned in The Lost Hero instead. His inexplicable appearance may also meant to further strengthen the Black-and-Gray Morality the gods vs non-gods is like (he mentions revenge after "what they'd done" to his daughter, Leto). | |

The Heroes of Olympus / int_780a078e | comment |
Self-Made Orphan: This is the reason why Leo is initially afraid of his fire powers: when he was a kid, Gaia visited the workshop where he and his single mother were, with the firm intention of preventing Leo from becoming a powerful enemy; Leo used his powers to try and protect his mother, but lost control and started a fire, accidentally killing her instead. He still has his father, but since he's the god Hephaestus whom Leo only met at 15... Hazel killed her mother and herself to stop Gaea from raising Alcyoneus back in 1942. Reyna killed her and Hylla's father after his obsession with Bellona turned him into a Mania. | |

I Reject Your Reality | |
The Heroes of Olympus / int_7a1856ba | comment |
I Reject Your Reality: Like in the last series, Zeus/Jupiter refuses thanks to his pride. He insist the giants can be put to sleep again if the Olympians do nothing and if they giants do rise the Olympians can defeat them without demigod help despite knowing flat out that it is impossible to kill them without a demigod. Once again, gods and heroes have to go behind his back to save the day. By the time he might have wised up it is too late to do anything. Juno claims he has a long history of doing this. However, by the end of The Blood of Olympus Zeus gets to tell his side and it turns out that Juno's plotting has its own drawbacks. Namely, by locking down events in accordance with the Prophecy of Seven, Juno has made it impossible for the gods (or anyone other than Juno's chosen Seven) to confront Gaea. Had the Prophecies not been forced to go down a certain path, things might have unfolded differently. | |

The Heroes of Olympus / int_857744e7 | comment |
Chew-Out Fake-Out: After leaving Calypso's island and learning about her history with Percy, Leo begins to resent the son of Poseidon for some time. Later, during a battle with Nike/Victoria, Percy tells Leo that he figured out what his problem was and admits that he still hates that he forgot about Calypso, saying that he's happy for Leo, and believes that the latter is better for her. Leo promptly gets steamed—-not because he's still angry at Percy, but because Percy just humbled himself right in front of Leo and completely eliminated any justification that Leo still had for resenting him. When the Amazons and Hunters kidnap Reyna in order to use her as bait for Orion, she lays out what they've done in such brutal terms that none of them can meet her eyes. Then she congratulates them on their excellent plan. | |

Badass Boast | |
The Heroes of Olympus / int_86b21114 | comment |
Badass Boast: Jason to Porphyrion during their boasting match. Percy does this casually for himself and Annabeth in The Demigod Diaries. It fails hilariously. Not during a fight like most boasts, but this still deserves mention. When Hazel, youngest of the heroes, makes this declaration to Hecate, goddess of magic and crossroads: "We’re going to find a way to stop Gaea. We’re going to rescue our friends from Tartarus. We’re going to keep the crew and ship together, and we’re going to stop Camp Jupiter and Camp Half-Blood from going to war. We’re going to do it all." Hecate, for her part, is interested to see if Hazel and the others can actually do it, claiming it would be magic worth seeing. Percy in The House of Hades to the empousai: "You mix Greek and Roman, and you know what you get? You get BAM!" | |

Black-and-Gray Morality | |
The Heroes of Olympus / int_8767b1f3 | comment |
The readers are never told that Koios was a part of the Second Titanomachy, yet he appears in The House of Hades as every bit a war veteran as others are. What's even more bizarre is that he pops up literally just once to meet with Bob before running off somewhere without any closure at all. Then again, we see everything of the previous series from Percy's eyes, and it's likely that Koios was part of the Othrys Front that's mentioned in The Lost Hero instead. His inexplicable appearance may also meant to further strengthen the Black-and-Gray Morality the gods vs non-gods is like (he mentions revenge after "what they'd done" to his daughter, Leto). | |

Badass Army: The 12th legion. First established in 58 BC by Gaius Julius Caesar, a legacy of Venus through her son Aeneas, the Twelfth went underground after the fall of Rome, having been given secret orders by Jupiter itself to stay alive, recruit demigods and their children, and keep Rome going. They are now stationed in San Fransisco, California, where both the Legion (consisting of active demigods and legacies, who constantly train for war) and the city of New Rome make up Camp Jupiter. | |

Back from the Dead | |
The Heroes of Olympus / int_8967e17f | comment |
Back from the Dead: There's a lot of mythological characters who are brought back to life thanks to Thanatos losing control over the Doors of Death, including several who were supposed to have "faded away" (basically being forgotten by everyone), including: Medea, Midas and his children, Medusa's sisters (Stheno and Euryale), Phineas, Echo, Narcissus, and Sciron. Thankfully, this also has beneficial effects for the side of good, since that means they can come back too (as in the case with Gwen). Jason returns after seemingly being god-fried in The Lost Hero, though the narration doesn't make it clear whether he was really dead or not. Hazel is revealed to be this at the end of her flashbacks. Leo dies stopping Gaia in the finale of the series, but returns. | |

Apparently certain children of Hephaestus can wield fire and all children of Aphrodite have apparently always been able to speak French, and some can charm-speak people into doing what they want.

The Big Damn Kiss | |
The Heroes of Olympus / int_9438e550 | comment |
The Big Damn Kiss: Actually happens sometime after the conflict ends, but still. Jason and Piper have this kind of kiss on the balcony of Cabin 1 (the largest cabin in Camp Half-Blood), alone, and under a sky full of stars. It's more meaningful in Piper's part, because to her, she already experienced it due to the Mist's effects, yet is heartbroken when she is told that that's a fraud. Jason honorably makes it up. Percy and Annabeth exemplify the trope when they reunite in Mark of Athena, complete with staring at each other, running at each other, and interrupting a crucial peacemaking moment between the camps. Also Leo and Calypso, this time doubling with Beach Kiss. | |

Betty and Veronica | |
The Heroes of Olympus / int_94e4c8ab | comment |
Betty and Veronica: This is the case about the triangle between Piper, Reyna, and Jason; however, it is unclear as to who is considered who, since both girls could be justified as either the Betty or the Veronica. Piper could be the Betty, since she is nicer, more outgoing, and less confident than the stoic Reyna (she believes that Reyna is more beautiful that her) and she just wants Jason to be happy no matter who he is with; she could also be the Veronica, since she is considered more beautiful than Reyna by Jason and she unintentionally interferes in what might have became a romance between the amnesiac Jason and Reyna. In the same way, Reyna could be the Betty, since she and Jason have known each other longer because she and Jason were best friends when he was at Camp Jupiter and she held romantic feelings for him (which were unrequited by Jason, he admits so himself), or she could be the Veronica, since she is meaner, more confident, and more aggressive (more "Roman") than the homely Piper and hides any feelings she has for Jason but wants him for herself. Ultimately, Jason chooses Piper, since he loves her for being who she is, and he never had any feelings for Reyna. Subverted with Leo, Frank, and Hazel, since Leo doesn't act on any feelings he has for Hazel, and Hazel isn't in love with Leo but rather with Frank. However, who is the Betty and who is the Veronica is more clear cut in this case. Frank is the Betty, since he and Hazel are best friends, he houses feelings for her, and he lacks self-confidence, while Leo is the Veronica, since he interferes in and complicates Hazel and Frank's relationship and is far more assured of himself than Frank is. By The House of Hades, this triangle is effectively over, since Leo has fallen in love with Calypso. All three of the characters comment on this new development. | |

Nothing Is the Same Anymore: In-Universe, the moment that the Greek and Roman camps know each other's existence is this, because the last time they knew each other, the American Civil War happened. The series' epilogue also qualifies, because Apollo's loss of foresight might meant the death of prophecies, and thus, the death of great adventures. Though read up the next series for more clarification. | |

Foreshadowing: When Reyna summons Percy to a private meeting with her in the principia, he sits in the other praetor's chair while waiting for her. The Mark of Athena brings up a few times the fact that all children of Athena are afraid of spiders. Leo joking about getting the House of Hades T-shirt. Percy and Annabeth manage to get to the Doors of Death by acting like tourists. During a dream meeting with her godly parent in The Lost Hero, Piper wearily asks if she's supposed to simply put on a dress and charmspeak Gaea to go back to sleep. In Chapter 42 of The House of Hades, Leo and Piper joke about setting someone on fire to attack Gaea. In the next book, someone else is indeed set on fire to defeat Gaea. When Frank and Reyna meet at the end of The House of Hades, they agree the first thing they should do as fellow praetors is to fire Octavian as far as possible with a catapult. Guess how he dies... In the last book, Apollo, Octavian, and Rachel are struggling with a lack of prophecy, and Ella quotes a prophecy that mentions the fall of the sun. The Trials of Apollo reveals that said fall is Apollo's demotion to mortal, and the lack of prophecy is a much bigger issue, as all of the ancient oracles are in danger. | |

Feminist Fantasy: Reyna's arc in The Blood of Olympus is about her coming into her own as a daughter of Bellona, admitting that she shouldn't define herself by the men in her life, and dealing with Straw Misogynist Orion (with the help of Thalia Grace and her sister Hylla, both leaders of famously all-female groups of fighters). | |

Touch the Intangible: Some demigods are able to physically interact with certain intangible beings due to powers inherited from their divine parents. Nico, by virtue of being a son of Hades, is able to grab a hold of ghosts and spirits that would otherwise be intangible. Jason, as a son of Jupiter, is able to grapple with storm spirits even when they make themselves intangible. | |

Ascended Extra: "D-list goddess" Khione plays a major role compared to her appearances in myth. Gleeson Hedge (referenced once in TLO) is now a major character, as the Seven's chaperone. Will Solace and Jake Mason were given offhand mentions in the last series, but play larger roles here.. Hylla, Circe's assisstant, last seen in Sea of Monsters turns up again as Reyna's sister and queen of the Amazons. Reyna and Nico. While already important figures, they become two of the viewpoint characters in the end. | |

Deliberate Values Dissonance | |
The Heroes of Olympus / int_aabe2fb | comment |
Deliberate Values Dissonance: Several examples across the series: In The Mark of Athena: At Camp Half-Blood, being a child of Athena is nothing out of the ordinary. At Camp Jupiter, however, Minerva is revered as a virgin goddess, so when Annabeth goes there, the Romans are extremely shocked that a child of Athena/Minerva even exists — and that she's leading the quest, since if a child of Minerva did exist, they wouldn't be heading up any quests, they'd be advisors at the most. Hazel has some time-displacement related attitudes toward a lot of things. She gets more used to modern times as she goes, one of her friends noting in the last book that she openly and casually holds hands with her boyfriend in public when a few months ago it would have made her blush like mad and possibly pull away. Being from the past has some influence on Nico's attitude towards his sexuality. He says later on that he would have accepted it in his own time, but having had a crush on the guy he blamed for his sister's death made him feel more guilty about his feelings than he might have otherwise. His angst about his sexuality seems to be only slightly influenced by the time he's from, but it is something he and Jason discuss in House of Hades. Camp Jupiter has its own values and very strict laws, many of which involve capital punishment. In particular, in The Blood of Olympus, Reyna has to explain to Nico exactly how serious it is that she technically killed her father, because patricide is amongst the biggest and most horrible crimes in Roman society and automatically condemnable with Cruel and Unusual Death. | |

Divine Conflict | |
The Heroes of Olympus / int_b1720bc6 | comment |
Divine Conflict: There's an interesting example when the Greek gods start fighting with the Roman gods in that they're the same being, their Greek half and their Roman half, and the greater the difference between them, the more conflict they find themselves in. Frank, for example, has Mars and Ares constantly yelling, trying to outshout each other in his head. The few that avoid this are the ones whose Greek and Roman aspects are virtually indistinguishable from each other. | |

Loophole Abuse | |
The Heroes of Olympus / int_b1dde8fd | comment |
Loophole Abuse: The Amazons get their queens crowned by fights to the death. Given the whole death thing, there's no law against repeat matches- so when an old queen comes back from the dead wanting a rematch (and being able to return even if she dies in battle), you can bet that Hylla was going to get out her law-fu ASAP. Khione, the goddess of snow, is fond of doing this. Her father allows Jason and his group to leave his home and go on their quest, and so Khione can't openly disobey him... but she can be sneaky about causing trouble for them afterward. | |

Too Dumb to Live: Alcyoneus, as pointed out by Frank — when you're unkillable as long as you stay in the boundaries of the state of Alaska, you really shouldn't hang out in the part of the state that's only 10 miles wide. Bryce Lawrence, a Legacy of Orcus (got of punishment in the Underworld) and an exile from Camp Jupiter (recently reinstated by Octavian), tries to take on Nico and Reyna — two experienced demigods, a son of Hades and daughter of Bellona the war goddess, respectively — in The Blood of Olympus. An enraged Nico deals with him in one blow by unleashing a single "flood of pain and anger", turning him into a mindless ghost and sending him to the underworld. | |

After leaving Calypso's island and learning about her history with Percy, Leo begins to resent the son of Poseidon for some time. Later, during a battle with Nike/Victoria, Percy tells Leo that he figured out what his problem was and admits that he still hates that he forgot about Calypso, saying that he's happy for Leo, and believes that the latter is better for her. Leo promptly gets steamed—-not because he's still angry at Percy, but because Percy just humbled himself right in front of Leo and completely eliminated any justification that Leo still had for resenting him. | |

Sadistic Choice | |
The Heroes of Olympus / int_babc974 | comment |
Sadistic Choice: In the second excerpt of The Son of Neptune, "June" (Juno) tells Percy that he can endure suffering and tragedy and maybe save his friends, or live happily under the ocean while the world ends. Jason and Percy become possessed by ghosts and attack each other. Piper is ordered to decide which one will survive. Also keeps with the History Repeats theme of the series, as Hercules/Heracles was offered essentially the same choice. Several characters outright state that Percy's gonna have to make another one sometime in the future, but likely won't be able to, due to his fatal flaw: loyalty to his friends above all else. This plays out in the circumstances surrounding The House of Hades: Percy opts to fall into Tartarus with Annabeth, leaving Frank to hold the quest together, just as Mars predicted. At the end, he and Annabeth are forced to leave Bob and Damasen behind to fight off Tartarus and operate the Doors of Death while they escape. | |

The Heroes of Olympus / int_beb9a361 | comment |
Anti-Hero: As mentioned in the previous series, Percy is not above prioritizing his loved ones over the fate of the world. It's blatantly stated that this will come into play later, and it will be up to Frank to help him stick to his duty. Nico Di Angelo. A disturbing, powerful loner who's one of the deadliest mortals on the planet. Percy's still on the fence about him, given their troubled history, and he creeps the hell out of everyone on the Argo II, save Hazel and Annabeth. It doesn't help that Jason barely avoids fighting him after a misunderstanding—and he's not sure he'd be able to win. | |

Real Women Don't Wear Dresses: This trope is a massive part of Piper's character; she hates that she might be seen as a Brainless Beauty and isn't fond of her mother, Aphrodite, or her half-siblings. She also deliberately chooses a weapon that had previously been used only as a mirror so that she can use it as intended. She does gradually grow out of this. | |

New Powers as the Plot Demands | |
The Heroes of Olympus / int_c26e2b1 | comment |
New Powers as the Plot Demands: Justified — the first series never delved into what powers the other godly parents could have passed on to their demigod children. Apparently certain children of Hephaestus can wield fire and all children of Aphrodite have apparently always been able to speak French, and some can charm-speak people into doing what they want. Justified as it's stated that controlling fire and charmspeaking are ridiculously rare, and the Seven would likely be given useful powers in their fight against Gaea. The House of Hades has this. Piper's charmspeak can now manipulate machines, though it's possibly justified as it is unclear whether or not Festus is truly sentient. | |

It is probably because Canadian French and Creole French are somewhat different? | |

Taking You with Me: Subverted. Hazel and Frank are afraid Percy has done this to get rid of the Roman shades in Alcyoneus's lair, but the readers know he's fine because his water gifts will protect him from the fall. Played straight during Hazel's first life, when she discovers she was being manipulated by Gaia into reviving Alcyoneus, the giant. She uses her powers as a daughter of Pluto to bring down the cave where the giant was forming, killing herself, her mother and effectively delaying the giant's revival for several decades. Arachne uses her web-lines to drag Annabeth down to Tartarus with her, with Percy going along for the ride. | |

Healing Serpent | |
The Heroes of Olympus / int_d0bc65a6 | comment |
Healing Serpent: Pretty much has all the examples from Classical Mythology show up. The Son of Neptune. A amnesiac Percy gains two vials of gorgon blood by killing the gorgon sisters Euryale and Stheno, where earlier it was revealed that blood from their right side can heal anything, while the blood from their left side is lethal. Percy later on uses the blood in a deal with Phineas, where they each drink a vial. Gaia thankfully made sure that Percy drank the healing blood instead of the lethal onenote Thus killing Phineas by extension.. The healing blood returns Percy's memory. The Lar Vitellius is stated to be a descendant of Aesculapius and served as a medic in the Fifth Cohort. The Blood Of Olympus The Trope Codifier himself Asclepius shows up along with his staff and snake, a green python named Spike, and true to the trope, Asclepius behaves like one would expect him to, a doctor. He quickly diagnoses Jason with shortsightedness and gives him a pair of glasses, tells Piper to ice her shoulder and provides them with the Physician's Cure, which was made with the help of Spike. The automaton of Hygieia and her snake zig-zag this trope, for though the automatons are try to keep Jason, Piper and Leo from seeing Asclepius with lethal force, the automaton provides tips for a healthy lifestyle. Plus, they can heal themselves. The real Hygieia is also implied by Asclepius to play this trope straight, since she is the goddess of good health. Hilariously, the Sadly Mythtaken nature of Hermes' Caduceus is also mentioned as the symbol of medicine which irritates the snake on Asclepius' staff; Spike, who feels that the snakes on the Caduceus; George and Martha, get all the attention. | |

More Diverse Sequel: While a good majority of the characters in the original series were Caucasian, of the five new heroes, one is Native Americannote Piper, one is Latinonote Leo, one is African Americannote Hazel, one is Chinese-Canadiannote Frank — and only onenote Jason is white. See Five-Token Band. Plus, the previously introduced character Nico was revealed to be gay. In addition, Reyna is confirmed to be Puerto Rican. Riordan even managed to give a Watsonian explanation that Rome was much more diverse than Greece, due in part to the expansiveness of the empire, as well as the existence of New Rome itself. Race isn't an issue; you're only ridiculed if you're weak and can't pull your own weight. | |

Hoist by His Own Petard | |
The Heroes of Olympus / int_d397657d | comment |
Hoist by His Own Petard: Octavian, and quite literally at that - in trying to kill Jason (though his motives were questionable seeing as he was just straight up insane by now), he kills himself when his clothes are stuck in the catapult he is trying to launch. Because of his actions and nature, nobody tries to stop him. | |

Harping on About Harpies: In The Son of Neptune. However, Phineas is not having as much trouble with them anymore, basically turning his curse into theirs, with one exception. In order to get his help, the Power Trio has to capture the harpy Ella, and give her to him. This isn't exactly what happens. | |

Creator Provincialism | |
The Heroes of Olympus / int_d68c925d | comment |
Creator Provincialism: A noticeable aversion in comparison to the first series. Instead of all America, all the time (with a few digs at Canada), Heroes of Olympus looks set to be much more international: a Chinese-Canadian main character (complete with an exceedingly rare tip of the hat to Canada's military) a book cover set against the Quebec City skyline, and a climactic moment in British Columbia, all in the first two books. And there's the quest whose end goal takes the characters to Greece, with pit stops including: Italy, Croatia, and Malta, and a return journey that includes Portugal and PuertoRico. | |

Writers Cannot Do Math | |
The Heroes of Olympus / int_da1c8191 | comment |
Writers Cannot Do Math: Aside from The Lost Hero, the whole series is set a year after The Last Olympian, but a few details are exactly a year off: Nico is fourteen here, even though he should be thirteen. It comes into play with Hazel’s age as well. She celebrates her thirteenth birthday in December of 1941, and the next time we see her it’s summer in Alaska. Since she’s one of the names that Jason mentions at the end of ‘’The Lost Hero’’, she must have arrived at Camp Jupiter before he disappeared in September. ‘‘The Son of Neptune’’ takes place the following June, making her fourteen years old. Percy says in The Mark of Athena that the events of The Titan's Curse were three and a half years ago, when they were actually two and a half years ago. In The Blood of Olympus, Percy and Annabeth plan to spend their senior year of high school in New York together, when they should only be starting their junior year. Plus, Percy missed the entire second half of his sophomore year. | |

Then Jason disappears for eight months and Percy becomes the new praetor. Nico and Will Solace get a couple moments of cute contact in The Blood of Olympus . | |

Chekhov's Gunman: Reyna and Hylla - two minor characters from Percy Jackson and the Olympians reappear. Reyna turns out to be a very important character. Michael Varus starts out as mostly backstory explaining the loss of the legion's eagle, but shows up on Ithaca in person as a spirit. Lycaon is a minor villain in the first book and pops back up to make trouble in the last one as well. | |

Historical In-Joke | |
The Heroes of Olympus / int_dfe57573 | comment |
Historical In-Joke: The American Civil War (1861-1865) was at least partially a war between Roman half-bloods and Greek half-bloods. (You should see Hazel's reaction when she finds out the Romans were in the Confederate side). The last child of Hephaestus that could create fire before Leo was Thomas Faynor, who started the Great Fire of London in 1666. Frank's ancestor was blamed for the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake, though it turns out he didn't do it. Jack London was a son of Mercury whose Wolf House burned down because it was built on sacred ground. Amazon.com Inc. was apparently founded or taken over by actual Amazon warriors and used to ship goods to Amazons worldwide. Johnny Weissmuller, US National Championship and Olympian (the sport version) swimmer, was apparently a merman trained by the ichthyocentaurs. | |

One-Steve Limit: Averted. Though it'd be very hard to confuse, Midas mentions his daughter being named Zoe (not to be confused with the first series' Zoë Nightshade). There's also a Jason at Camp Half-Blood playing Capture the Flag in The Titan's Curse. The first cycle also had Michael Yew from Camp Half-Blood, while the Roman camp has Michael Kahale and a (deceased) Michael Varus. Borderline cases: a few characters are named after famous mythological or historical figures, but given the series, the originals are sometimes mentioned as their own characters: Dionysus' twin sons are called Castor and Pollux, Octavian mentions his ancestor Octavian Augustus, and Medea remembers the first Jason very well. Hazel's and Nico's mothers are named "Marie" and "Maria." | |

Have You Seen My God? | |
The Heroes of Olympus / int_eece5183 | comment |
Have You Seen My God?: Olympus has been closed and the gods have gone MIA. Subverted. Even though Zeus ordered it, thinking it would lull Gaea back to sleep, several of the gods, thinking Zeus is making a mistake, have defied his orders. They had to do so covertly, however. In The Son of Neptune he seems to have changed his mind (or bowed to the inevitability of the others' meddling making the plan moot), allowing Mars to order a quest. That, or his more responsible Jupiter aspect can no longer ignore the situation and knows something must be done. In The House of Hades the impending war between the Greeks and the Romans has caused the Greek and Roman sides of the gods to fight one another, rendering most major gods incapacitated unless one of their children does something particularly spectacular. | |

The Heroes of Olympus / int_eff83d77 | comment |
Mundane Utility: Riptide is finally used to write with in The House of Hades. Also a bit of a Brick Joke, as the possibility is first alluded to by Nico in The Titan's Curse, a full six books back. | |

Everyone Must Be Paired | |
The Heroes of Olympus / int_f01552b5 | comment |
Everyone Must Be Paired: In Percy Jackson and the Olympians, only Official Couple Percy/Annabeth gets any focus, with a couple minor side pairings like Grover/Juniper and Clarisse/Chris that are few and far between. Come the sequel series The Heroes Of Olympus, and suddenly romance plays an important role in the plotlines of every single major character, and Percy/Annabeth is joined by Jason/Piper, Hazel/Frank, Leo/Calypso, and Nico/Will Solace. The only main character who doesn't end up with anyone is Reyna, who plays the Romantic Runner-Up. | |

Locked Out of the Loop | |
The Heroes of Olympus / int_f06b07ff | comment |
Locked Out of the Loop: The gods, Chiron, and Lupa are keeping a big secret. The Lares of Camp Jupiter, too. A bit of story hints is that Chiron never mentioned the Roman camp because he swore not to - chances are, Lupa wouldn't mention the Greek camp either. Nico has been keeping the secret as well; Percy in particular is less than thrilled by this. | |

Redemption Equals Death | |
The Heroes of Olympus / int_f1492605 | comment |
Redemption Equals Death: Octavian's last act is to fire one of the onagers, Roman catapults, at Gaea in order to destroy her. He's caught on it and is sent flying with the attack, dying with her. Admittedly, he was also trying to kill Jason at the same time, but he explicitly names Gaea as a target as well; this leads to his being remembered as a savior of Rome afterward. | |

Arbitrary Headcount Limit | |
The Heroes of Olympus / int_f3cf30d9 | comment |
Arbitrary Headcount Limit: By The Mark of Athena there is a team of seven demigods, but due to that many demigods together attracting too many monsters, most of the book is spent with forming random parties of two or three, usually leaving a few people behind on the Argo II from time to time. The result seems incredibly like an RPG - especially when Coach Hedge forces himself into the party in Atlanta. | |

It Belongs in a Museum | |
The Heroes of Olympus / int_f4b6d62a | comment |
It Belongs in a Museum: Piper initially believes this of the dagger she gets from Annabeth (it had once belonged to Helen of Troy). Annabeth tells her that they're surrounded by Ancient Greek stuff at camp, but weapons like that are the heritage of the demigods and are meant to be used. Annabeth says this about Arachne's tapestries. | |

Product Placement: Apparently Amazon.com is a front company for the actual Amazons. And they apparently read on their Kindles when they ought to be on guard duty (though it's less likely to be Product Placement than Just For Pun). Thanatos uses an iPad to keep track of the dead. | |

Cosmic Deadline | |
The Heroes of Olympus / int_f5c3defd | comment |
Cosmic Deadline: One of the complaints to the finale is how suddenly and unsatisfyingly the plot is resolved. After spending the series on a slow trip to Greece while confronting and failing to permanently kill a single Big Bad one book at a time, the heroes reach the Acropolis. Suddenly, all the Big Bads are dispatched off, most of them offscreen, without so much a struggle. Then, through a literal Deus ex Machina, they are immediately transported to Long Island (so no more slow boat trip), into the fight with the Greater-Scope Villain, who is also similarly dispatched without a struggle. It doesn't help that the series is slower-paced than its predecessor (thanks to multiple POVs and a more dedicated attempt at Worldbuilding), so the abrupt change of tone is more keenly felt. | |

The Heroes of Olympus / int_f5c92fe0 | comment |
Amnesiac Lover: Defied. Jason quickly reciprocates Piper's feelings, but he doesn't want to lead her on when he isn't entirely sure how he feels about her (first because of his amnesia, then because it turns out they were never dating in the first place, and then because of Reyna). Subverted with Percy. Annabeth is the one thing he's absolutely sure about from his old life. | |

Anthropomorphic Personification | |
The Heroes of Olympus / int_f76b8969 | comment |
Anthropomorphic Personification: The protogenoi (the primal gods) make their first appearance in the series. As in the original myths, they aren't merely "humans with superpowers", they are literally the concepts they represent. Annabeth sums it up best in The House of Hades, regarding the difference between having a parent that is a god and having a parent that is a protogenos: | |

Brick Joke: Annabeth's mouth is hung open at the horror of seeing Tartarus. She compares her reaction to how Percy drools in his sleep, the very first thing she ever said to him. When Annabeth and Piper have to go it alone in Sparta, Percy gets so stressed he blows up the toilets on the Argo II. Guess how his powers first manifested? Percy always sulks whenever the Icthyocentaurs are brought up, as they didn't want to meet him. | |

Shown Their Work: Rick Riordan has been around in real life, and used to be an editor for mythology books. And it shows. He actually gets a lot of common misconceptions correct, such as how Thanatos is actually Death itself, and that Pluto was not just the lord of the underworld but also the god of wealth and the earth. | |
