Apollo provides a necessary ingredient and sends the demigods to Asclepius, as only he can brew the potion. While conversing with Apollo, Nico invents a musical instrument that he offers the god of music in exchange for the physician’s cure. Leo has spoken with Nike and wants Apollo’s opinion on an idea. On Delos, Leo leads the search for Apollo and Artemis, with Hazel and Frank’s help. She advises him to remember how the god Ouranos was overcome. Jason convinces her to switch sides by promising to build temples and shrines in her honor. Percy and Jason investigate the ocean’s depths for the cause, Jason encasing himself in a storm spirit they discover that the goddess Kymopoleia conjured the storm on Gaea’s behalf. En route to Delos, the Argo II is battered by a ferocious storm. She connects with her divine brothers, Fear and Panic (children of Ares and Aphrodite), delivering herself and Annabeth to safety. The inability to use reason overwhelms Annabeth, but Piper embraces and overcomes her emotions.

Annabeth and Piper confront the statue, which radiates and amplifies fear. Next, they stop at the port of Pylos, where Frank’s ancestors provide the poison to brew the physician’s cure, advising him to seek a statue of Ares in Sparta. In Olympia, they capture Nike, the goddess of victory, who warns that one of them will die battling Gaea-and the physician’s cure won’t save them. On the way, Leo ponders how to return to Calypso on her island, Ogygia. After the group fights their way out of Ithaca, Juno advises them to visit Nike in Olympia and Apollo and Artemis on Delos. Jason confronts his mother, who abandoned him and has become a mania, and wards her off but is injured. There, spirits, monsters, and mortals allied with Gaea overrun the palace of Odysseus. They must make it back in time to save Camp Half-Blood and heal the rift between the Greeks and the Romans.Īs the novel opens, they arrive in Ithaca to gather information about the obstacles ahead. In Reyna’s absence, Octavian, the Roman augur at Camp Jupiter, seizes power and plans to attack Camp Half-Blood. The second quest, led by Roman praetor Reyna-accompanied by Nico and Coach Hedge-is to deliver the Athena Parthenos statue to Camp Half-Blood as a peace offering from the Romans to the Greeks. These seven include Piper, Percy, and Annabeth, who are Greek, and Frank, Hazel, and Jason, who are Roman (though Jason is conflicted over which camp he belongs in). Seven travel aboard the Argo II to the Acropolis in Athens, Greece, to try to stop the ceremony to wake Gaea and overthrow the Olympians. The Blood of Olympus follows two quests-which converge at the novel’s end-from the third-person limited omniscient perspectives of five demigods: Jason, Reyna, Piper, Nico, and Leo.
