Ceres

Goddess of Agriculture and the Harvest
Goddess of the Seasons

Ceres is Demeter's Roman counterpart. As Ceres, she becomes more disciplined, militaristic, and warlike. While Greeks envisioned Demeter as the one who gave mankind the gift of agriculture, Romans believed that the laws and rites of Ceres protected all the activities of the agricultural cycle. She has a demigod daughter named Leila and perhaps may have other children or descendants at Camp Jupiter near San Francisco.

Ceres was the daughter of Saturn and Ops. Sicily, Attica, Crete, and Egypt all claimed the honor of being her birthplace, each country producing the ground of its claims, though general suffrage favors the first. In her youth, being extremely beautiful, Jupiter fell in love with her, and by him she had Proserpina. For some time she took up her residence in Corcyra, so called in later times, from a daughter of Asōpus, there buried, but anciently Drepănum, from the sickle used by the goddess in reaping, which had been presented to her by Vulcan. Then she moved to Sicily, where the violence of Pluto deprived her of her daughter, Proserpina. Disconsolate at her loss, she importuned Jupiter for the return of her daughter, but obtaining little satisfaction, she lit torches at the volcano of Mount Etna, and mounting her car, drawn by winged dragons, set out in search of her beloved daughter. This transaction the Sicilians annually commemorated by running about in the night with lighted torches and loud exclamations.

Ceres was also the central deity of the Plebeian or Aventine Triad, comprising her, Liber and Libera, and the three deities shared a temple which stood atop the Aventine Hill. (Roman tradition relates that the temple was erected in 496 BC and then dedicated three years later). Every year, the Cerealia festival was held in honor of her, from April 12 to 19.

It must be owned that Ceres was not undeserving the highest titles bestowed upon her, being considered as the deity who had blessed men with the art of cultivating the earth, having not only taught them to plow and sow, but also to reap, harvest, and thresh out their grain; to make flour and bread, and fix limits or boundaries to ascertain their possessions. The garlands used in her sacrifices were of myrtle, or rape-weed, but flowers were prohibited, Proserpine being carried off as she gathered them. The poppy alone was sacred to her, not only because it grows among corn, but because, in her distress, Jupiter gave it her to eat, that she might sleep and forget her troubles. Cicero mentions an ancient temple dedicated to her at Catania, in Sicily, in which the offices were performed by matrons and virgins only.

Representation

Ceres was usually represented with a tall majestic stature, fair complexion, languishing eyes, and yellow or flaxen hair; her head crowned with a garland of poppies, or ears of corn; holding in her right hand a bunch of the same materials with her garland, and in her left a lighted torch. When in a car or chariot, she is drawn by lions, or winged dragons.

Ceres is mentioned by Hazel Levesque when talking to Karpoi, asking why they do not serve Ceres, and they stated that they hate her because they were wild and Ceres told people how to cultivate them.

Ceres is supposed to meet Bacchus in a wheat field in Topeka, Kansas to discuss how Gaea has been affecting the agriculture. However, she never showed up as she sensed it was a trap, which is something Bacchus quickly caught on to.

Personality

Ceres is described as being unexpected and temperamental as the seasons.

As an Elder Olympian and the Goddess of Agriculture, Ceres is an extremely powerful goddess in her own right, more so than her older sister, Vesta, but not quite as powerful as her younger sister, Juno, and her brothers. Due to her considerable influence as the Goddess of Agriculture she was a very important goddess to the Roman people.

It is mentioned by Apollo that Demeter is far more powerful then her Roman aspect, which could be due to the Romans having less of a connection to nature then the Greeks, which is the source of Demeter's and Ceres' power.

As the Goddess of Grain and Agriculture, Ceres wields tremendous power over the forces of nature, and could weave them to her will, being able She commands the trees of the forest to grow, and vegetation to spring forth from the ground. Due to her having divine control over agriculture, she could punish those who offend her with famine, hunger or thirst. She could also change the climate and state of the earth, due to her being the Goddess of the Seasons. The legendary tale of Pluto and Proserpina is just one of the numerous instances where Ceres' powers could affect the state of nature itself: when she is with her daughter, the earth is warm and fertile, but when Persephone is away with her husband Hades, the world is cold, dark, and barren.

Chlorokinesis: As the goddess of the harvest and agriculture, Ceres has divine authority and absolute control over plants, crops, and the harvest. She could either grant or enhance the fertility of the earth, turning barren plains into fertile fields, and encourage orchards to bear fruit and flowers to bloom. She can also grant fertility to the earth, allowing plants to grow where they could not grow before. Also, she aids plants in growing simply by being near them.

Geokinesis: As the goddess of the earth, she has absolute control and divine authority over earth presumably more than her brother Pluto though less so then Gaea. Ceres could increase the fertility of soil as well as the output of crops.

Thermokinesis: As the goddess of agriculture, Ceres has absolute control over how cold or hot the atmosphere is at a given time. This is the basis of her control over the seasons, and is an ability that none of the other gods can reverse.

Season Control: As the Goddess of the Seasons, Ceres has divine authority and absolute control over the seasons, such as annually transforming spring into winter (when her daughter Persephone is with Pluto), and vice versa (when her daughter returns).

Atmokinesis (limited): As a Goddess of the Seasons, Ceres could control the weather to a certain extent, such as making it rain, or snow, or cause the temperature to change, however she wished it, though her ability to do so is inferior to that of her brother, Jupiter.

She can transform things into plants. She can turn multiple things at once.

Fertility Manipulation: As the Goddess of Fertility, Ceres has the power to manipulate fertility, the natural capability for living beings to reproduce (in terms of animals) or grow (in terms of plants). she can make lands or plants fertile, allowing them to reproduce or grow, or make things infertile, making them unable to reproduce or grow. She could either grant or enhance the fertility of the earth, turning barren plains into fertile fields, and encourage orchards to bear fruit and flowers to bloom.

The word cereal derives from her name.

The Cerealia festival was held in honor of Ceres and was connected with the growth of corn.

Ceres is depicted on the Seal of New Jersey as a symbol of prosperity.

An asteroid is named after Ceres.

Ceres was also a character in Shakespeare's play The Tempest, along with Juno and Iris.

It is mentioned by Bacchus that she is not ever tardy for anything.

Ceres is also a dwarf planet between Mars and Jupiter.

God of the Dead
God of Riches
Lord of the Underworld

"

The dead see what they believe they will see. So do the living. That is the secret.

"

-- Pluto to his daughter Hazel Levesque on how to control the mist, in The House of Hades.

Pluto is the Roman counterpart of . As Pluto, he becomes more disciplined, militaristic, and warlike. While the Greeks feared him as the Lord of the Underworld, the Romans respected him as the god of riches.

Pluto's regions are supposed to lie underground and it was believed that he was the one who first taught men to bury their dead; it was hence inferred that he was king of the infernal regions, whence sprung a belief that, as the souls of the dead descended to him, so when they were in his possession, he bound them in chains and delivered them to be tried by judges, after which he dispensed rewards and punishments according to their worthiness. Pluto was therefore called "the infernal Jupiter " and oblations were made to him by the living, for the souls of their friends or family departed.

Pluto was extremely revered both by the Greeks and Romans. He had a magnificent temple at Pylos. Near the river Corellus, in Bœotia, he had also an altar, for some mystical reason, in common with Pallas. His chief festival was in February and was called Charistia, because their oblations were made for the dead. Black bulls were the victims offered up, and the ceremonies were performed in the night, it not being lawful to sacrifice to him in the day time, on account of his aversion to the light. The cypress tree was sacred to Pluto, boughs of which were carried at funerals.

Pluto appears in a flashback during World War II in one of Hazel's blackouts. He appeared to visit his daughter for her birthday, giving her a set of colored pencils and a sketch pad. He also apologizes for her curse, which causes anyone that touches the stones she pulls from the ground to have bad luck, saying she must hate him for it.

While Hazel's mother originally blamed Pluto for Hazel's curse, it was actually her fault. Pluto had sworn on the River Styx to offer her anything, but in her greed she wished for all the riches of the Underworld. Pluto warned her to ask for anything else as the greediest wishes cause the most sorrow, but in the end he obeyed her wish, giving Hazel the ability to pull precious stones and metals from the ground.

When Thanatos is eventually freed, Hazel asks if her name is on the list of escaped souls. The god tells her it is not, explaining that Pluto may have thought her life wasn't finished or it was an oversight.

When Hazel returns to camp, she is asked if her father has contacted her. She replies in the negative, but it is better that Pluto did not go to see her because he would have to acknowledge that she was alive and would have to bring her back to the Underworld. In Pluto's own way, not contacting her is his gift to her.

When looking down at the farmlands at the base of the Apennines Mountains, Hazel can't help but think of her father's realm below the earth. She also remembers that the first time she met Pluto, she didn't know who he was. She also thinks back on how Pluto never helped her, not during her first life, her time in the Underworld, or even after Nico di Angelo brought her back to life. Hazel wonders if Pluto is doing her a favor, as Thanatos told her that by ignoring her, Pluto can allow her to live. Despite contacting her dad being a bad thing, Hazel prays to him for help.

When Hazel controls Mist for the first time to defeat Sciron, Pluto comes in front of her and compliments her and also warns her that the witch she would be facing at the House of Hades would not be fooled easily and that her name was Pasiphaë. He also began to split into his Greek form and then disappears.

Mad Claude complains that he and the other Romans can not enter the kingdom of Pluto because their bodies had been prepared for another kind of life after death.

Personality

As Pluto, he becomes more disciplined, militaristic, and warlike than he is as Hades. However, just like Hades he seems to care deeply for his children and any woman he falls in love with, being very protective of them. When first visiting his daughter Hazel, he apologized for her curse and offered her a present. He then went upstairs and tried to convince his current lover to stay where he could protect her and their child. Ironically, Pluto cares enough that he ignored his daughter's existence, allowing her to live because she was also one of the souls that escaped the Underworld.

Appearance

When Pluto appears in The Son of Neptune, he has greasy, black hair and is dressed in a dark suit with a black and platinum striped tie and a tombstone gray shirt. If you look at his suit closely, you can see the souls trying to escape from their agony, much like Hades' robe. He wears a silver ring on his finger and his skin is pale, so much so that it is described as being almost blue, like cold milk. The god looks very much like Adolf Hitler, although he himself does not have a mustache and is clean shaven. His eyes are also very similar to his Greek form, being fiery, angry and full of mad power.

In The House of Hades, his tunic and toga are made of black wool with threads of gold and faces of tormented souls shifted in the fabric like Hades' robes. The edge of his toga was lined with the crimson of a senator or praetor, but the stripe rippled like a river of blood. His dark hair was close-cropped and wore a massive opal ring on his finger.

Relationships

Marie Levesque was a fortune teller that summoned Pluto. They fell in love and had a daughter together. Marie is the only known lover of Pluto.

Pluto greatly cares for his daughter. When he met Hazel on her thirteenth birthday, he gave her art supplies and apologized for her curse. After she is liberated from the Fields of Asphodel, he ignores her so that Hazel can have a chance at a life, however he comes to her and complements his daughter when she defeated Sciron.

Pluto, being the god of the Underworld, wields dark and necromantic powers. He is one of the three strongest gods of Olympus and is rivaled only by his brothers Jupiter and Neptune.

He can control the Earth (though to a lesser degree than Gaea as she is the personification of the Earth herself).

He can curse people so that their soul will never leave their body and their body will turn to dust so that their soul will be lost.

Pluto's name is the Latinized form of the title Πλούτων (Greek Plouton, "The Rich One"), which was an epithet of Hades.

The dwarf planet Pluto, once officially the smallest and farthest planet categorized, was named after him.

His Egyptian equivalent is Osiris.

His Norse equivalent is Hel.

Pluto is the only Roman god mentioned in The Kane Chronicles.

Pluto is the only Roman member of the Big Three to physically appear.

His daughter Hazel noted similarities between him and Adolf Hitler, and since it was stated that the sons of Hades / Pluto headed the losers during World War II, this has led many readers to speculate that Hitler was his son. This theory was debunked when Rick Riordan declared that Hitler was not a demigod.

His sons at the head of the losers could be Mussolini and Emperor Hirohito.

Neptune

Alias

God of Earthquakes and Horses
God of Hurricanes, Storms,
the Seas and Water

Neptune is the Roman form of . As Neptune, he becomes more disciplined, militaristic, and warlike than his Greek counterpart. For Greeks, he was a major civic god and was highly respected for being the god of the sea and earthquakes. However the Romans, who were not seafaring people, associated him more with fresh water and horses, and treated him with a fearful respect.

The Romans believed in a series of gods associated with world around them. They designated Neptune as the god of water and the sea, a close parallel to the Greek god, Poseidon.

As a god of both fresh water and the sea, Romans prayed to Neptune to provide water for their crops. In ancient Italy, farmers would honor Neptune with a festival in July, when frequent droughts would destroy their fields. He was also a patron of horses and had a temple called Circus Flaminius built near a race track, and another in Campus Martius.

He was also the patron of horse racing and a temple dedicated to him was situated near the Circus Flaminius which was a Roman racetrack. The Circus Flaminius was the venue for horse racing with one rider and his horse going around the turning posts. In the famous story of the Aeneid, Neptune was resentful towards the Trojans, but is not as vindictive as Juno. He was so annoyed that Juno had intruded on his domain that he helped the Trojan fleet against the efforts of Juno who tried to wreck their ships.

Poseidon arrives wearing a hat saying: Neptune's lucky fishing hat.

He is highly feared at Camp Jupiter as well as by all Roman demigods in general, and his children are considered bad luck and dangerous to have around. Unlike most of the other major gods, he only has a shed as a temple on Temple Hill, with a cobweb covered trident nailed above the door, and three dried up, moldy apples left inside as an offering. Part of the reason Camp Jupiter considers his children bad luck is because of an event in 1906, when his descendant, Shen Lun, was thought to make a big earthquake and was banished from the camp. While Percy Jackson was at Camp Jupiter, he prayed to Neptune in his temple for some help.

While Jason Grace and Leo Valdez are trying to capture the dwarfs, Akmon and Passalos, at Bologna they see a statue of Neptune. Jason said that he would feel better if he saw a statue of any god other than Neptune. Later, the statue suddenly shoots some rope from its hand and ties up Jason. Luckily, he manages to escape.

Kymopoleia declares that the Romans never worshiped her and that for them she was only a sign of the greatest anger for Neptune.

As one of the Big Three, Neptune has the ultimate powers a god can possess, and is rivaled only by his brothers, Jupiter and Pluto.

Hydrokinesis: As the Lord of the Sea, Neptune has absolute control over water like Percy, only to a much greater extent.

He can withstand any amount of water pressure.

He can generate water from his body.

He can use sea waves as a form of teleportation.

He can breath underwater.

He can communicate with sea creatures.

Geokinesis: Being the god of earthquakes, Neptune has the ability to cause earthquakes, giving him the nickname "the Earthshaker".

Atmokinesis: As the god of Storms, he has absolute control over the weather.
Aerokinesis: Neptune is also known as the god of storms since he controls the weather over the seas. He can create thunderstorms and hurricanes. However, he can also create clear skies for sailors if he wants. As god of the seas, it is unknown how far this power may extend over land.

Neptune is the eighth and farthest planet from the Sun in the Solar System. It was named after the god, as its deep blue gas clouds gave the earliest astronomers the impression of great oceans and seas, the domain of Neptune.

Caligula, a Roman emperor, once declared war on Neptune's kingdom. Once he found he could not attack the sea, he had it whipped.

His Norse counterparts are Aegir and Njord.

Sobek could be considered his Egyptian counterpart.

It was declared that in the Second World War the sons of Zeus / Jupiter and Poseidon / Neptune were in charge of the winning side, therefore they had to be in charge of the United States of America, England and China.

So it is technically possible that Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, Joseph Stalin, George Marshall and Chiang Kai-shek were children of Poseidon / Neptune.

However, since the last person to arrive at Camp Jupiter before Percy, to declare a kinship with him was Shen Lun, almost forty years before the outbreak of the war almost certainly the sons at the head of the winning side were of his Greek form.

Hestia is the Greek virgin goddess of the family and home, hearth, domesticity, virginity, and the state. She is the eldest of the Twelve Olympians, the firstborn child of Kronos and Rhea, and the current guardian of Elpis, the spirit of hope. Her Roman counterpart is Vesta.

Birth and Rescue

Hestia was the oldest child of Kronos, the Titan-King of Mount Othrys, and his wife, Rhea. When she was born, Kronos was initially willing to be a good father until he realized that Hestia wasn't a Titaness, but a more powerful and beautiful immortal (a goddess) and therefore had the potential to overpower him one day. Fearing the possibility, Kronos quickly swallowed her whole - much to Rhea's horror. However, as an immortal goddess, Hestia wasn't killed or destroyed by her father's swallowing her whole, and instead spent her childhood undigested in her father's stomach. She was later joined by her younger siblings ( Demeter, Hera, Hades, and Poseidon), all of whom were also swallowed shortly after their birth.

Ultimately, Rhea gave birth to her sixth and final child, Zeus, whom she hid away and secretly raised on Crete with Gaea's aid, faraway from Mount Othrys. In place of Zeus, she gave a huge boulder as a decoy for the tired Kronos to eat. After he reached his maturity, Zeus successfully infiltrated Kronos' Palace on Mount Othrys as the Titan-King's new royal cupbearer. Hestia was finally released during the final drinking competition Kronos had with his Titan brothers and nephews, for Zeus poured a potent emetic into Kronos' goblet, which caused the Titan-King to disgorge all the contents of his stomach in reverse order of swallowing. First the boulder, then Poseidon, Hades, Hera, Demeter, and finally Hestia herself. Zeus quickly introduced himself to his elder siblings and all of them quickly escaped Mount Othrys before their father and their Titanic relatives could react.

In Zeus' cave at Mount Ida, Hestia and the other gods accepted Zeus as their leader, and though she initially suggested diplomacy, she was finally convinced to agree with her younger siblings about declaring war against their tyrannical father. Hestia was happily reunited with her mother Rhea, who tearfully embraced her and her siblings and recommended their releasing their Elder Cyclopes and Hekatonkheire uncles from Tartarus first, for the Hekatonkheires could serve as strong allies in their battle and the Elder Cyclopes could forge excellent weapons.

Her brother, Hades, turned out to be skillful in navigating under the earth and lead them all into Tartarus through a network of Underworld tunnels. There, imprisoned in the maximum-security zone, surrounded by huge bronze walls, and a lava moat, were the Elder Cyclopes and Hekatonkheires. Their guardian Kampê was the most ferocious and fearsome monster in all of Tartarus.

However, the gods overcame their fear and were able to sneak in. Zeus managed to talk to the Cyclops Brontes and convinced him to forge powerful weapons for him and his siblings behind Kampê's back. The three Elder Cyclopes forged three incredibly powerful weapons: the Master Bolt (for Zeus), the Trident (for Poseidon), and the Helm of Darkness (for Hades). With these new weapons, Zeus killed Kampê and Poseidon shattered the chains of the Elder Cyclopes and Hekatonkheires, releasing them. Afterwards, Hades safely guided his siblings and uncles back out of Tartarus. In return for their release, all six of her uncles agreed to fight on the gods' side in the upcoming war with the Titans.

Shortly after their return from Tartarus, Hestia and her siblings officially declared war on Kronos and the other Titans, which resulted in the terrifying 11-year-long Titanomachy. The Titans initially had the upper hand since they were well-armed and much more experienced warriors. However, as the years passed, the gods quickly became skilled warriors as well, and with the help of their new extremely powerful weapons and the aid of the Elder Cyclopes and Hekatonkheires, they finally prevailed.

While preparing for the final battle of the War, Hestia and her siblings ascended to Mount Olympus (the tallest mountain in Greece after Mount Othrys). During the final battle, Zeus used his Master Bolt to shear off the top of Mount Othrys and hurl Kronos from his throne, defeating the Titan King. Shortly thereafter, the gods invaded the ruins of Mount Othrys and finally overwhelmed Atlas, Hyperion, Iapetus, Krios, and Koios.

In the aftermath of the battle, the Elder Cyclopes chained up all of the defeated Titans, while the Hekatonkheires forced them to kneel before the gods. Zeus took their father's Scythe, sliced Kronos into a thousand pieces, and then cast him into Tartarus along with the rest of his followers (except for Atlas, who was forced to hold the sky). The gods chose Olympus as their official residence and the Elder Cyclopes built magnificent palaces there for them all. As a result, the gods started to call themselves the Olympians.

Incident with Priapus

While celebrating the anniversary of her children's victory over the Titans, Rhea organised a grandiose party on Mount Ida on Crete. All gods and neutral Titans were invited, as well as many nymphs and satyrs. After drinking, Hestia wandered out into the woods and fell asleep. Priapus, a minor god of vegetation, spotted the beautiful goddess and wanted to take advantage of her. However, while he was approaching her, a donkey brayed out loudly. Hestia woke up screaming and ran away from Priapus. The feasting Olympians instantly ran to her side and proceeded to harshly beat and berate Priapus, who was never invited to their divine parties ever again. After the event, Hestia declared that she was to be grateful and defined the donkey as her sacred animal.

Prometheus' Punishment

After the war, Hestia decided to become the Goddess of the Hearth and Family. She secretly allowed Prometheus to take some sacred fire from the Olympian hearth, as he desired to give it to humans. Despite this, no member of her family suspected her (or at least, they didn't punish her). Feeling bad for Prometheus' severe punishement, Hestia protected every mortal pursued, attacked or in trouble if they made it to either a house's or a town's hearth. People of that household or city would be obliged or honor-bound to help and protect them if they asked for it.

Becoming the Last Olympian

Unlike her more prominent younger siblings, Hestia never sought power. When her nephew Dionysus was accepted as one of the Twelve Olympians, she was willingly gave up her throne to him and took to constantly tending the sacred hearth. During any of their massive family feuds, any Olympian could chose to take a break by sitting down next to the hearth with Hestia, whose presence alone was enough to calm anyone near her.

Unlike her siblings, Hestia never desired to marry or become a mother, so she turned down several gods. After Poseidon and her nephew Apollo proposed to her, Hestia talked with Zeus and requested to remain a virgin. Her brother respected her enough to allow the petition, while Poseidon and Apollo vowed to punish anyone who would ever attempt to woo her in the future.

When Percy Jackson first arrived at Camp Half-Blood, he saw a young girl stoking next to the hearth and poking the coals with a stick. However, he was ignorant of the fact that she was actually Hestia and didn't pay particular attention to her.

Hestia was later mentioned by Chiron to Percy while discussing the arguments between Zeus and Poseidon: apparently, Chiron had hoped that either she, or Demeter, or Hera would be able to calm down the brothers and get them to see reason.

Shortly before the events of the book, Hestia met and talked with Nico di Angelo, the first demigod to talk to her in ages. Hestia first appears as an eight-year-old girl in Westport, Connecticut after Percy and Nico meet Ms. Castellan. She tells Percy that in order to understand his enemy, he must first understand his past. She gives Percy constant visions of Luke's upbringing as a way to gain insight as to what he has gone through and why he made the choices that he did. Hestia tells Percy that sometimes the hardest power to master is the power of yielding before transporting him and Nico to New York.

During the Battle of Manhattan at Olympus, Hestia helps Rachel Elizabeth Dare realize her destiny as the Oracle of Delphi and reminds Percy that when all the other gods are away in the fight, hearth and home are what will always remain. Percy entrusts Hestia with the Pandora's Pithos, which Prometheus had given him in order to tempt him into surrender. He claims that she should be its guardian because hope survives best at the hearth.

When Percy is fighting against Luke (possessed by Kronos), Backbiter is tossed into the hearth. When Kronos tries to retrieve it, Hestia appears in the fire and heats the scythe to such a degree that he cannot retrieve it. Percy sees her image in the flames looking disapprovingly at her father.

After the war, the gods returned to the destroyed Olympus. When her brothers and relatives asks Percy to come closer, Hestia's smile gives him the courage to approach them.

Percy later returns to Camp Half-Blood and sees Hestia tending to the campfire, mirroring the first time Percy saw her when he first arrived at camp. She winks at Percy, implying that she is content not being noticed, as long as some people do notice her once in a while.

Hestia, along with most of the other Olympians, was incapacitated (with her personality split between her and her Roman form Vesta) after Leo was manipulated by Gaea into shooting upon Camp Jupiter from the .

When Reyna, with the help of six pegasi finally manages to place the Athena Parthenos on Half-Blood Hill, golden light ripples across the ground, seeping warmth into the bones of both Greek and Roman demigods, and curing all of the Olympians (including Hestia) of their split personalities. However, as the Last Olympian, Hestia is the only Elder Olympian not to join her siblings, nephews and nieces in the final battle with the Giants in Athens.

Personality

According to Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, Hestia's personality is very similar to that of her mother: gentle, good-natured, irresistibly lovable, and never saying a bad word about anyone, overall a benevolent goddess. She was quieter and more peaceful than her siblings - in fact, out of the six children of Kronos and Rhea, she was the only one who suggested reconciliation with their father after they were freed. Her fondest wish was that her entire family could get along, and despite being unsuccessful in maintaining harmony on Olympus, she still watched out for each and every deity in the Greek Pantheon, which ensured that it was difficult for any of her family to be angry with her, for her genuine amiability was a rare and valuable commodity amongst the Olympians.

However, Hestia is supremely different from her mother in one aspect: she had no desire to become a mother herself. Part of the reason was that she had vivid, unforgettable memories of being swallowed by her father, her mother wailing in despair over how he was a child-swallowing cannibal, and of all those years being imprisoned in his stomach. The other part was having concrete evidence that her brother, Zeus, could be as bad as Kronos - he swallowed his first wife, Metis, to circumvent the prophecy that the son he fathered through her would overthrow him one day, and later on, he divorced his second wife, Themis, to prevent their marriage from producing more offspring that were more terrifyingly powerful than the gods. Though this can be interpreted as an inability to let go of the past, it still testified to Hestia's powers of observation and caution.

Hestia was also kind and sympathetic towards humanity - though it was never specifically confirmed, it was still highly likely that she played a major role in how Prometheus successfully gifted humanity with fire (as she was always at the hearth, it was impossible for him to have stolen the hot coals from the hearth without her noticing, so she either helped him do it, or at least turned a blind eye to his theft). Also, though he ended up being punished severely for his theft, she ensured his sacrifice was not in vain by becoming the patron goddess of each and every hearth in the world, as well as a sworn protectress of sorts to those in need if they made it to the hearth.

In The Last Olympian, she was portrayed to be calm, humble, and much kinder than most other gods, who frequently take offense at the slightest provocation. As opposed to the Twelve Olympians, she did not seek attention or recognition, but existed contentedly at the hearth, the final place of solace. She also proved to be a warm and loving aunt to Percy and Nico (greeting them with a delicious homemade meal during their first meeting her, providing timely words of wisdom and even visions to help them better understand and fight their enemies, etc.), as well as a goddess of true wisdom and excellent understanding - she knew perfectly well that due to her oath of chastity and her giving up her throne to Dionysus, she would have neither demigod children nor epic poems about her deeds, but she is fine with that as she is, at her very core, a peacekeeper ("Sometimes the hardest power to master is the power of yielding...I keep the peace. I yield when necessary..."). During the final battle against Kronos, Hestia did deliver a single blow that truly testified to her formidable power as an Elder Olympian, and when the battle was over, it was implied that she was content with not being noticed, as long as some people do notice her once in a while.

Appearance

According to Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, as a newborn baby, Hestia was beautiful and perfectly proportioned, with eyes that were much too intelligent for a newborn, and she radiated power. As a mature goddess, she was sweet-looking and lovely in an unpretentious way, having an honest smile, warm brown eyes, and black hair that framed her face in ringlets. She also had an incredibly delicious scent of wood smoke and toasted marshmallows, and usually kept her hair tucked under a linen shawl, wore plain, modest dresses, and never used makeup. Though she was not as beautiful as her younger sisters, she was still so charming that both Poseidon and Apollo once proposed to her, and Priapus once tried to rape her.

In The Lightning Thief, Hestia was portrayed as a nine-year-old girl, but Percy did not take particular notice of her as he was ignorant of her true identity.

In The Last Olympian, Hestia was portrayed as an eight-year-old girl with mousy brown hair, and fire-red eyes that differed from Ares' for they were warm and cozy. She wore a simple brown dress with a scarf over her head, giving her the look of a pioneer child. When Percy encountered her again after acquiring the Curse of Achilles, he noted that though she still wore the same brown dress, she appeared as a grown woman. After the final battle against Kronos, Hestia took the form of a girl again, looking happy and content to be sitting by her fire again, and her smile gave Percy the courage to approach the gods.

The differences in Hestia's physical description throughout the novels could be attributed to the fact that, as a goddess, she has the ability to assume any shape she desires, though it must be noted that she retains her beauty and sweet charm no matter what physical manifestation she adopts.

Attributes

Her attributes are the fire and cloak.

Her sacred animal is the donkey.

Hestia can change into her Roman counterpart, Vesta. As Vesta, she becomes more disciplined, militaristic, and warlike. Hestia was envisioned by the Greeks as the gentle goddess of domesticity whereas Vesta was considered to be the stern guardian of the Roman state. In ancient times, the Vestal Virgins were maiden priestesses who maintained the sacred fire housed inside the Temple of Vesta. It is possible that they are the Roman counterpart of the Hunters, but were less aggressive and didn't fight.

In The Last Olympian, Hestia herself claimed to be "the least of the gods", and she is indeed less powerful than her younger siblings (Demeter, Hera, and the Big Three). However, as an Elder Olympian, she is still an extremely powerful goddess in her own right, stronger than the younger Olympians, and her strike against Kronos in the final battle testified to her strength.

Pyrokinesis: As the Goddess of the Hearth, Hestia has divine authority and absolute control over fire, and to a far greater extent than her nephew, Hephaestus. The fire she tended also seemed to glow "more richly red than a normal fire". During the final battle against Kronos, her flames heated up his scythe to the extent that he was forced to drop it, and his host's hands were smoking and seared. After he was destroyed, the scythe liquefied into molten metal and trickled into the hearth's coals. These were particularly impressive, for Kronos' host - Luke - was near-invulnerable from the Curse of Achilles, and the scythe had been forged by Gaea to strike down the mighty Ouranos.

Soul of Household control: Apollo mentions that if her Shrine at Camp Halfblood was extinquished, the soul of the Camp would be destroyed and it would be uninhabitable as a curse would be lain on the land, implying Hestia holds sway over the souls and Homes.

Shapeshifting: As a goddess, Hestia has the power to transform and reshape her own body as she desired - she transformed into an eagle to escape from Kronos' Palace and, later on, into a bat to sneak into Tartarus' maximum-security zone.

Bond Manipulation: As the Goddess of Home and Family, all things related to domestic and familial relationships are under Hestia's jurisdiction. Examples of other abilities she derived through this province are:

Food Generation: Hestia has the ability to generate or conjure delicious food, manifesting them anywhere she desired. Percy described the taste of her food as "the kind of home-cooked meal people are supposed to have but never do".

Shared Vision: Hestia has the ability to share family-related visions of an individual's past with others - she showed Percy visions of Luke's past to help him better understand his enemy, and also reminded the former of his own happy memories with family and friends to encourage him to fight.

Home Teleportation: Hestia has the ability to teleport people back to their own home - she teleported Percy and Nico back to Percy's home.

Serenity Inducement: Hestia has the ability to induce potent feelings of tranquility in others, enabling her to keep everyone who surrounded her at total ease and calm - an ability that she inherited from her mother.

Hearth Guardianship: As the Goddess of the Hearth, Hestia had divine authority and absolute control over all central fireplaces (hearths) of all mortal homes, and any mortal pursued, attacked, or in trouble would be under her special protection if they made it to either a house's or a town's hearth. In fact, her hearth on Olympus is still acknowledged by all the other gods to be "neutral territory", where anyone could go to for a rest and none of them could fight one another there. An additional ability she possibly derived from this province is:
Oath Keeping (possibly): Hestia possibly had the ability to maintain and preserve any sort of oath or pact that was made between two or more individuals, for in the days of Ancient Greece, families swore their important oaths by the hearth, and a foreign ambassador would always visit the town's hearth first to proclaim they had come in peace.

Divine Wisdom: In The Last Olympian, Hestia showed herself to be an exceptionally wise and knowledgeable goddess with an excellent understanding - she provided Percy, Nico, and even Rachel genuinely useful advice regarding their enemies, and how they could effectively fight back.

Culinary Arts: As the Goddess of the Hearth, Home, and Family, Hestia is an excellent cook and baker - in Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, Zeus commented that she toasted perfect marshmallows that were neither too soft nor too crispy, and she kept "an excellent hearth" (the very place where people cooked their food and baked their bread during the days of Ancient Greece).

Relationships

Hestia developed a good relationship with her aunt Themis, who resembles her in personality. She considers Themis her favorite aunt.

Hestia is the only deity to have an amiable relationship with every other Olympian, even the vain Apollo (who once proposed to her), the conceited Aphrodite, the violent Ares, and the grim Hades. She is empathetic to all her siblings and their children, consoling, cheering and supporting every single god and goddess in Olympus. Due to these actions, everyone in her family watches out for her when they can and it is acknowledged that their protection ensures that she isn't one to be trifled with, for her family willingly protects her and issues severe punishment on her behalf on those who offend her.

Hestia proved to be a kind aunt to her demigod nephews Percy Jackson and Nico di Angelo, helping them during the Second Titanomachy and giving them sincere encouragement to stand against the seemingly insurmountable odds. Percy in turn respects her the most among the gods (if not next to his father) and acknowledges her as the most important of the Olympians.

Her name means "hearth" in Greek.

Hestia would be the last Olympian if the thrones of the gods are destroyed, as her power is enshrined in the hearth.

Although Hestia is the goddess of the hearth and home, her younger sister Hera is the goddess of family and home. It is confirmed that the two share jurisdiction over domesticity.

In ancient times, Hestia received the first offering at every sacrifice in the household, and, at feasts, the first and last libations were dedicated to her.

Despite her statement in The Last Olympian, Percy thinks that Hestia never had a throne and always kept to the hearth because it was "more her style" in Percy Jackson's Greek Gods.

When asked to describe Hestia's cabin, Rick Riordan said that she has no cabin because it "just isn't her style". This would make Hestia the only Elder Olympian who doesn't have a cabin at Camp Half-Blood.

46 Hestia, a large, dark main-belt asteroid, is named after her.

According to Greek mythology, of all the gods and goddesses, Hestia was considered the gentlest, kindest and most forgiving deity with a discreet nature.

Hestia is one of only three current Olympians who is a virgin, the other two being Athena and Artemis.

Hestia was the second of the Olympian deities to meet Percy, but the last one to be identified as such (Percy met Dionysus in Chapter 5 of The Lightning Thief and spotted Hestia in her nine-year-old form in Chapter 6, but she wasn't identified until The Last Olympian).

Vesta, the second largest object in the asteroid belt, is named after her Roman counterpart.

Hestia was the first LGBT character to appear, though not the first to be identified as such.

Vesta family, a group of asteroids, is named after her Roman counterpart.

4 Vesta is an asteroid named after her Roman counterpart.

Her Egyptian equivalent would be Anuket.

Frigg

Alias

Goddess of Marriage, Fertility, Prophecy, and Motherhood
Queen of Asgard
The Anti-Loki

(sometimes anglicized as Frigga in other versions), is a Norse Æsir goddess originally of the Vanir tribe and sister to Njord, and the goddess of prophecy, marriage, motherhood and fertility. She is the wife of Odin and queen of Asgard.
Death of Baldr

When her son, Baldr, had nightmares about his own death, Frigg went to every living thing in the Nine Worlds to have them promise not to hurt her son. She has the word of everything in creation except mistletoe. Loki, who had discovered Baldr's weakness, tricked Baldr's brother Höðr into throwing a mistletoe dart at Baldr, therefore killing him.

In the Series

When her daughter, Mallory Keen was unknowingly tricked into installing a bomb on a school bus by Loki in 1972, Frigg appeared in the form as an old lady and convinced Mallory to disarm the bomb and gave her two knives so she would be accepted into Valhalla.

Loki mentions the Queen of Asgard when he was explaining to Magnus Chase about how and why he was in his current situation due to how he killed Baldr.

When Mallory sees the old lady who was there on her death, she runs off to pursue her. Magnus, Samirah and Mallory followed the old lady into a train carriage. Mallory, who thought the old lady was Loki, threatens her, but Samirah tells Mallory that it's not Loki. The old lady then reveals herself as Frigg and tells Mallory that she is her mother. Mallory is outraged that Frigg would choose to reveal herself only now, but Frigg told her that she always loved her. She then explains that she can see into the future and predicted everything that would've led up to now. Frigg explains to the three what they must do to get Kvasir's Mead, and gives Mallory a walnut which would trap Loki.

Appearance

Frigg is a middle-aged woman of regal beauty, her long hair was red like Mallory Keen's and plaited down both shoulders. She wore war helm of white metal, glowing and flickering like trapped neon gas. Her white dress seemed made of the same stuff, only woven into gentle folds. She had white-and-gold eyes and underneath were faint and jarring scars scoring her cheeks from the tracks of tears she cried at Balder's funeral, it was first time she wept in her entire life.

In disguise, Frigg looked like an old woman with rounded shoulders and a hunched back. Her head craned forward like it was trying to get away from her body. Her white knit sweater was so fuzzy it might have been cotton candy, and cocked on her head was a matching floppy hat that made it hard to see her face. Dangling from one arm was a bag stuffed with yarn and knitting needles.

As queen of the Norse gods, Frigg possesses incredible and supreme power though not quite on par with her husband's. She is considered by many to be the true power and mind behind the throne.

Hyetokinesis: As the goddess of rain, she has absolute and divine control over it. She literally knits new clouds.

Persuasion: Frigg was able to convince all things, bar mistletoe, to never harm Balder implying a persuasive nature. This is more then likely what makes her the power behind the throne.

Advanced Intellect: Frigg is an incredible thinker, a facet of herself that plays heavy on her position as queen.

Precognition: As the goddess of prophecy, Frigg can see into the future. She is exceptionally clairvoyant, though she refuses to tell anyone of what she sees.

Immortal Children

Demigod Children

Frigg never cried in her life except when Baldr died. She is destined to cry again at Ragnarök when her husband, Odin, gets eaten by the monstrous wolf Fenrir.

She is the foremost goddess of the Æsir and often confused with Freyja.

Friday was named after either her or Freyja.

Both Freyja and Freyr (as well as Frigg) are associated with the Fehu Rune.

She is rumored to be an aspect of Jörð, the personification of the Earth and mother of Thor.

Frigg is the first queen god to have an illegitimate child in the series.

The word "Frigg" is believed to come from a root word meaning "beloved". That root word is also the source of English "friend" and Sanskrit "priya" (meaning "loved, favorite").

Her Greco-Roman equivalent would be Hera/Juno.
However, unlike the queen of Olympus, she has demigod children.

Like the Egyptian goddess Tefnut, she is a mother and a goddess of rain.

Giving you answers would make those answers invalid, that is the way of the Fates. You must forge your own path for it to mean anything. Already, you three have surprised me. I would not have thought it possible...

"

Hera is the Greek goddess of Women, Marriage, Childbirth and Familial Love. She is the youngest daughter of Rhea and Kronos, as well as the older sister and wife of Zeus, therefore being the Queen of Olympus. Her Roman counterpart is .

Birth and Rescue

Hera was the youngest daughter and third child of Kronos, the Titan King of Mount Othrys, and his wife Rhea. Since she was their most beautiful daughter, Rhea had hoped that Hera wouldn't get swallowed. However, since Hera was a goddess (a member of a more beautiful and powerful race of immortals than the Titans), Kronos feared that Hera would one day overpower him and quickly proceeded to swallow her whole as well. Hera spent her childhood undigested in her father's stomach along with her sisters, and two younger brothers, who were swallowed shortly thereafter. Since they were immortal gods who couldn't truly die, all five of them had grown to their maturity undigested in Kronos' stomach.

Rescuing the Elder Cyclopes and Hekatonkheires

Shortly after their return from Tartarus, Hera and her siblings officially declared war on Kronos and the other Titans, which resulted in the terrifying 11-year-long Titanomachy. The Elder Cyclopes soon forged a mighty golden Lotus staff for Hera, which she bravely wielded in battle against the Titans. The Titans initially had the upper hand since they were much more experienced warriors. However, as the years passed, the gods quickly became skilled warriors as well, and with the help of their new extremely powerful weapons and the aid of the Elder Cyclopes and Hekatonkheires, the gods finally prevailed.

Living with Oceanus and Tethys

After seeing how stable and loving Oceanus and Tethys' marriage was, Hera decided to strive for a similar one for herself. While Hera did manage to tame her infamous temper by the time of her return, many gods were still wary of openly flirting with her since she was determined to find a perfect husband for herself.

Marriage to Zeus

Soon after her return, Hera caught the attention of Zeus himself. While Hera had strong feelings for him as well, she refused to be another conquest for the King of the Gods. However, Zeus was just as stubborn and wouldn't be dissuaded. He applied his excellent singing, dancing, and joking skills to woo Hera, but she wouldn't initially give in. Zeus made a bet with Hera that if she would ever confess her love for him, she would become his bride. A few days later, Zeus proceeded to generate a tremendous thunderstorm around Olympus and disguised himself as an injured cuckoo. The cuckoo flew into Hera's chambers just as she was shutting her windows, and proceeded to fall on the marble floor. She took what she thought was a defenseless creature in her arms, dried its feathers, and revived it with some divine nectar. On the next morning, the cuckoo didn't seem inclined to leave, and affectionately rubbed its beak against Hera's finger. Hera admitted having grown quite fond of the bird herself and gently cuddled it in her arms. At that very instant, the cuckoo transformed into Zeus himself. Although she was embarrassed and outraged by her brother's deception, Hera was very impressed at Zeus' cleverness and agreed to become his consort on the condition that he remained completely loyal to her; however, this proved to be a promise which Zeus would not uphold.

Their wedding was held in a spectacular celebration on Mount Olympus and was attended by many gods and neutral Titans. The couple arrived on a huge golden chariot, steered by Eos (who illuminated them with brilliant rosy light), and the ceremony was lead by the Fates. Through her marriage to Zeus, Hera became the Queen of Mount Olympus and the Olympian gods. Hera received great gifts from all of their wedding guests, but her favorite was a magnificent apple tree (with golden apples) that she received from her grandmother Gaea. Hera had the tree taken far off to the west and planted in a beautiful orchard. She employed the Hesperides to guard the tree, but as the nymphs would occasionally pluck an apple from the tree themselves, she put the fierce dragon Ladon there as well. This orchard was later named the Garden of the Hesperides

The newlyweds enjoyed a wonderful honeymoon and were both very happy with each other for 300 years. They had four divine children together: Ares (the God of War), Enyo (the Goddess of War), Hebe (the Goddess of Youth), and Eileithyia (the Goddess of Childbirth). After marrying Zeus, Hera decided to became the Goddess of Marriage, Motherhood, and Familial Love. However, Zeus eventually became restless and began the first of his many affairs. Hera was infuriated and frustrated to no end by his infidelity. She devoted most of her time to keeping Zeus in sight and making the lives of his mistresses and illegitimate children miserable. Her hatred is most evident in the stories of Dionysus and Hercules, whom she tried to kill repetitively.

Birth of Hephaestus

Tired of her husband after several children without her, Hera decided to have children without him as well. Her final son was Hephaestus (God of Blacksmiths) whom she had with herself. However, when Hera saw the unsightly appearance of her son, she threw him from Olympus in fear of being embarrassed by the other gods. Hephaestus landed in the sea, where he was found and raised by the Nereid Thetis. However, Hera's act of cruelty haunted Hephaestus.

After spending nine years under the sea, Hephaestus finally rode back to Mount Olympus. All of the gods (especially Hera) were shocked into silence by his ugliness. However, Hephaestus brought magnificent new thrones for all of the Olympians. Hera's throne was made from shining pure adamantine, making it particularly beautiful. A suspicious Hera finally seated herself and was instantly, tightly bound by invisible and unbreakable chains. The chains grasped Hera so tightly that she couldn't breathe and all of the divine ichor in her veins flowed to her arms and legs. Both Ares and Hermes tried to convince Hephaestus to release his mother, but the latter remained stubborn and inexorable. Dionysus began visiting Hephaestus' forge from time to time and peacefully chatting with him. A week later, Dionysus introduced Hephaestus to wine and finally convinced him to forgive Hera. Hephaestus came back to Mount Olympus, declared his forgiveness of Hera's act of cruelty and released her. Afterwards, Hephaestus and Hera made peace with each other.

Olympian Riot

Zeus remained true to his word, but he still punished them all. While Poseidon and Apollo were temporarily stripped of their godly powers and forced to do hard labour as mortals, Hera received the severest punishment of all: She was chained right above the terrifying Void of Chaos. Every day, Zeus would visit her, threaten to sever the chains with his Master Bolt, and watch her tumble into the Void. Hephaestus could hear the wails of his mother all the way from Mount Olympus, which infuriated him as he couldn't bear to hear her suffering such a harsh punishment. As a result, Hephaestus set his mother free with his tools. Hera tearfully embraced her son and promised to never to call him ugly ever again.

When Eris hurled the Apple of Discord into the wedding of Peleus and Thetis, bearing the inscription "For the fairest", Hera was one of the candidates who competed for it, along with Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, and Athena, the goddess of war and wisdom. The Trojan prince Paris was chosen to judge who was the most beautiful of the three goddesses: Hera, Athena, or Aphrodite. Hera offered to make Paris the master of all Asia and Europe if he chose her. Athena offered Paris endless wisdom if he chose her. Aphrodite offered Paris the marriage of the most beautiful woman in existence: Helen, if he chose her. Paris immediately chose Aphrodite, as no man could resist the temptation of marrying a beautiful woman.

An enraged Hera sided with the Greeks along with Athena in the Trojan War in revenge against Paris. According to the Iliad, the war would have ended in peace, but Hera had a vested interest in its outcome and influenced Zeus to either switch sides or remain neutral.

Hera is present at the Winter Solstice with the other Olympians. She votes for Percy Jackson and Thalia Grace to live.

After hearing Hephaestus tell the story of how Hera threw him from Olympus and realizing how Hera was dismissive of Nico, Annabeth accuses Hera of only wanting a perfect family and claims that the goddess doesn't care about her older brother, Hades' side of the family. Hera responds with rage and states that Annabeth will regret being so disrespectful towards her. She proceeds to curse Annabeth with her sacred animals, causing cows to bother her all year by having them defecate everywhere.

Hera claims that her jealous behavior is all in the past now and that she and Zeus have received some excellent marriage counseling. Nevertheless, when Percy mentions Thalia, Hera casts a dangerous look and refers to the daughter of Zeus with a sneer.

After the Battle of Manhattan is over, Hera, though somewhat disdainfully, congratulates the heroes on their triumph. She was also grateful for Poseidon's help. She seems to force Ares to thank him as well.

Between the Series

The visions that Leo sees of her are in the form of his old psychotic babysitter, Tía Callida, who had tried to kill Leo several times, to prepare him for his destiny as a hero. She put him in a burning fireplace when he was two, let him play with knives when he was three, and when he was four she handed him a rattlesnake. When she babysat him the last time, Leo drew a picture of a boat that was blown away by the wind, to which Tía said, "It isn't time yet, little hero." The ship that he drew was the Argo II, which later he actually built. Tía Callida was actually Hera.

Thalia and Hera have a short argument, but Piper intervenes. Hera transports the three campers back to Camp Half-Blood. Later, Hera appears as Juno and explains to Jason that he and Thalia had to be separated as their situation ― a child of Greece and Rome born into the same family ― is both dangerous and previously unknown of. She admits to Jason that she is so bitter towards heroes because she does not have any of her own demigod children, and her own godly sons, Ares and Hephaestus, are both disappointments. She also confesses to often never understanding Zeus' moods, but that his current actions are baffling even to her, bordering on paranoia. She reveals that she is Jason's patron goddess, whether Jason likes it or not.

Juno introduces Percy Jackson to the campers as a son of Neptune, and shows her godly form to everyone in camp. The campers bow in respect with the exception of Percy, who doesn't feel she deserves his respect because he had to carry her for so long, almost getting killed along the way. Percy asks her for his life and memory back, but she declines saying he has to succeed at camp before handing him over to the Roman campers and disappearing in a shimmer of light.

Hera reappears in Percy's dream to talk with him and answer a few of his questions with no ill will, despite his aggressiveness. She is far more patient with Percy than before only complaining when he tried to attack her and never showing any signs of anger. She warns him that Annabeth will be the one to cause the most trouble in the future, (which angered Percy even more as he recalled that Hera hated Annabeth) though the heroine helped greatly in the next battles.

When Jason, Piper and Annabeth clear the palace of Odysseus of suitors, Hera is able to appear because of the sacred marriage bed. During the battle, Jason is severely injured as he was stabbed in the guts so Piper and Annabeth ask Hera to heal him. However, the goddess refuses. She and Annabeth start to fight, but in the end she confirms the group's suspicions before vanishing.

When Reyna, with the help of six pegasi, finally managed to place the Athena Parthenos on Half-Blood Hill, golden light ripples across the ground, seeping warmth into the bones of both Greek and Roman demigods, and curing all of the Olympians (including Hera) of their split personalities. As a result, Hera promptly arrives in Athens and re-joins her fellow Olympians in the final battle with the Giants, riding a golden chariot pulled by enormous and extremely bright peacocks. After the battle, Hera was seen having what Jason thinks is "an intense discussion" with Demeter and Poseidon.

Afterwards, Zeus confronted his wife for what she had done, claiming that her interpretation of the Prophecy of Seven and subsequently taking it into her own hands led to the inevitable conclusion of the war against the Giants. Despite her being clearly frightened by her husband's accusations, he still forgave her on account of his understanding that she had acted with truly good intentions.

Hera continues to have cows annoy Annabeth, leaving piles of manure in her path. Annabeth is sick of Hera's practical jokes, particularly after all of the quests that she has done for the Queen of Olympus. Annabeth figures that Hera must have a herd of stealth cows patrolling Manhattan for it to keep happening.

Apollo mentions Hera when thinking of how she and the other Olympians stood by and watched as Zeus turned him mortal for a third time.

Piper tells Apollo that one of the reasons she broke up with Jason is that she was under the impression that their relationship was orchestrated by Hera.

Apollo mentions her when carrying the coffin of Jason Grace to Camp Jupiter, remembering a time when she had him carry a throne around her living room until it was in the spot she wanted it to be.

As she and the other Olympians watch the Assault on Nero's Tower, she tells them that they should trust Zeus when he says he cannot turn Apollo into a god just yet. She is shown to have been crying but hides it under a veil.

Two weeks later, she welcomes Apollo back and scolds Zeus for not mourning for Jason Grace. She leaves after the meeting ends.

Appearance

In The Titan's Curse, Hera was described as a supremely beautiful woman with silver hair braided over one shoulder. She wore a dress that shimmered with colors like peacock feathers. She was even said to be the loveliest, fairest and most beautiful goddess in all creation before the birth of Aphrodite.

In The Battle of the Labyrinth, Hera was described to be tall and graceful, with long chocolate-colored hair braided in plaits with gold ribbons, eyes that shone with power, and a sunny smile. She wore a simple white dress that shimmered with colors like oil on water when she moved.

In The Lost Hero, Hera was described to be both terrible and beautiful in her wrath, glowing in power. A golden crown glowed in her long black hair and her arms were bedecked with golden jewelry. She was dressed in an elegant white gown.

In The Blood of Olympus, Hera assumed her true original Greek form and rode in a chariot pulled by enormous peacocks with rainbow-colored plumage so bright that "it gave the spins".

According to Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, She has long licorice-black hair; large, soft brown eyes that one could get lost in; and a face of regal and unapproachable beauty like that of a supermodel. In Percy Jackson's Greek Heroes, Hera appeared before Psyche in a glowing white gown, a cloak of peacock feathers over her shoulders, and a staff topped with a lotus flower. When she transformed back into her true shape before Jason, Hera wore a gold crown, a flowing white dress, and a belt of peacock feathers.

The inconsistencies in Hera's physical description throughout the novels could be attributed to the fact that, as a goddess, she has the ability to assume any shape she desired. But she always retains her regal beauty and queenly grace no matter what physical manifestation she adopts.

Personality

As Queen of the Olympian family, Hera is aware of her duties and usually looks at the big picture. In Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, she sensed her family was in danger by Aphrodite​​​​​'s arrival due to the arguments over whom should marry her. She swiftly resolved any potential tension between all other male Olympians by marrying off Aphrodite to Hephaestus, whom no one saw as a romantic rival. In The Battle of the Labyrinth, Hera expressed sadness over the loss of faith showed by the minor gods and encouraged Percy's group to rise above the chaos. In The Lost Hero, she defied Zeus' will and devised a plan to unite Greek and Roman demigods despite her apparent dislike for them, releasing her personal feelings in order to save her family and the Western civilization as a whole. However, Hera can be incredibly reckless at times. This is shown when she deliberately tampered with the Second Great Prophecy by exchanging Percy and Jason without warning, which later allowed the Prophecy to unfold by itself and put the future at great risk.

According to Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, Hera initially had such a fierce and infamous temper that her mother sent her to live with her uncle and aunt for years until she learned to keep her temper under control. She can look extremely intimidating when provoked. Even Zeus himself is afraid of his wife when she is angry about his unfaithfulness. When Percy and Annabeth told Hera off regarding her familial opinions, her eyes "turned dangerously bright" and her sneer was "worse than an Empousa's". She can easily turn against those whom she initially favored, as seen by how she turned against and cursed Annabeth for agreeing with Percy's assessment of her true nature with regards to family. However, in The Son of Neptune, Hera is far more patient with Percy than before, only complaining when he tried to attack her.

Hera seems to be a caring, polite, and sympathetic goddess, just like a mother should be. She pities lost children and offered to breastfeed them in ancient times, as shown in Percy Jackson's Greek Heroes. However, according to her son Hephaestus, Hera only likes "perfect families". For example, she threw her son off Olympus for his deformation and kidnapped her daughter Eileithyia in order to stop the birth of Zeus and Leto's twins. In The Battle of the Labyrinth, she greatly dislikes her brother Hades and is very dismissive of his children's problems, claiming they "don't belong" to the family. She bribed Geryon to allow Percy, Annabeth, and their teammates to pass freely, but removed Nico from the equation. Despite her flaws, Hera has somewhat of a respectable side. In Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, after her son Hephaestus saved her from being chained up over the Void of Chaos, she tearfully embraced him and promised to never call him ugly ever again. Due to being chained near Chaos, Hera developed certain sympathy to other goddesses in similar conditions, even former enemies as Calypso and divine rivals like Aphrodite.

Due to her belief that marriage should be faithful, Hera has great loathing for the mistresses and the illegitimate children of Zeus, since they are all concrete evidence of her husband's infidelities. She mercilessly persecutes them and does everything in her power to make their lives as miserable as possible, even though many of them were coerced into the affair. She casually talks about how she repeatedly tried to kill Hercules and drive him into murdering his own family, and in The Battle of the Labyrinth, she constantly points out things she did that, in her eyes, deserve credit. Her anger should perhaps be more directed towards her husband, but, because Zeus is more powerful than her, she focuses more on his mistresses and their children. However, she was shown to deeply care for Jason Grace and, in The Tower of Nero, is seen mourning his loss and enraged at Zeus for his seeming lack of care. Hera's anger and grief over the loss of Jason causes Apollo to re-examine his opinion of Hera.

​​​​Hera once admitted to Jason that she secretly envied the other gods for their demigod children, claiming that they help them understand the mortal world better than they ever could. However, she will never have any demigod children of her own because it wasn't in her nature to be faithless, which in turn meant that she won't have any mortal heroes to do her bidding. It is this aspect of Hera that makes her so often bitter towards all demigods, but it also allows her to be merciful where most gods are not. This is why Hera favored the first Jason, a mortal hero with no divine parent to guide him; however, he lost her favor after breaking his vow to Medea.

Due to her status as an Elder Olympian and Queen of the Gods, Hera is an extremely powerful goddess. Percy Jackson's Greek Gods describes her as being more powerful than her younger Olympians and her older sisters, though not quite as much as her brothers.

Motherhood: As the Goddess of Motherhood, Hera has absolute and divine authority about raising children and her own fertility. Her powers are most likely superior to those of her male counterpart Hymenaios.

Self-Impregnation: As shown in Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, Hera managed to become pregnant with a divine child all by herself. However, this may explain why Hephaestus was deformed since birth.

Granting Help: As seen in Percy Jackson's Greek Heroes, Hera can grant powers and help to children. After being breastfed by the goddess, Heracles was granted incredible superhuman strength. In The Battle of the Labyrinth, her power guided Percy's arrow to Geryon's hearts.

Domestic Manipulation: As the Goddess of Marriage and Family, all things related to domestic and familial relationships are under Hera's jurisdiction.

Olympian Bond: Chiron confirmed in The Lost Hero that Hera was the "glue" that held the Olympian family together. Her absence could unravel the stability of Olympus and shake the foundations of the world itself.

Mnemokinesis: Hera has the ability to steal and restore memories. She temporarily manipulated Percy's and Jason's minds to protect them more easily.

Food-Conjuration: As shown in The Battle of the Labyrinth, Hera is able to conjure delicious food on a marble table. In Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, Hera was said to be an excellent cook like her sister Demeter, knowing how to bake delicious bread and brownies.

Cleanliness Inducement: As shown in The Battle of the Labyrinth, Hera can make things clean and orderly. With just a flick of her finger, she made Annabeth's hair comb itself while all of the dirt and grime disappeared from her face.

Territorial Jurisdiction: As the Queen of Olympus, Hera has a great deal of influence over territories and sovereign rule. In Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, she induced all "rooted lands" to deny sanctuary to Leto and threatened to curse them forever if they disobeyed her. She later promised to make Paris lord of all Asia and Europe if he claimed her as the fairest of the goddesses.
Teleportation: As seen in Percy Jackson's Greek Heroes, Hera has the power of teleportation, which manifests in "bursts of peacock-colored light". She could also teleport others to their desired location, like she did to Jason, Piper, and Leo Valdez in The Lost Hero.

Aerokinesis (limited): As the wife of Zeus, Hera can control and manipulate air, though to a lesser extent than her husband's. ​​​​​​In Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, she flew down from Olympus when she discovered a baby Dionysus.
Nephelokinesis: As shown by Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, Hera can ride golden clouds. She hovered over Thebes and later traveled to it on a golden cloud.

Madness Induction: Hera has an infamous control and manipulation over madness. In Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, she drove the demigod Dionysus insane to the point he had to go to Zeus to be cured. Hera later induced Hercules to kill his wife Megara, his children and servants.

Hypnokinesis: As shown in The Lost Hero, Hera can manipulate and enter the dreams of others. Even when she was consistently drained of her energy, she could maintain communication with Jason through visions.

Battle Prowess: In Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, Hera was shown to have been an eager and capable participant in the First Titanomachy. She later participated in the gods' battle with Typhon for several days in The Last Olympian, and the Seven Heroes of Olympus's final battle with the Giants in The Blood of Olympus.

Divine Form: Hera's true form was described as an exploding supernova ring of force that vaporized every monster around her instantly. She assumes this form in combat. Any mortal who witnesses her in this form will die instantly.

Life Creation: Hera has demonstrated the ability to manipulate reality itself to a considerable extent. She created the one hundred-eyed giant Argus (who shares an emotional link with her) and a cluster of reed plants to speak with Psyche in Percy Jackson's Greek Gods.

Control of Animals: Hera has a high level of control over animals, particularly the cow and the peacock. In Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, she summoned a massive venomous serpent into the river of Aeacus's island, poisoning his entire water supply. In The Battle of the Labyrinth, she sent a herd of cows after Annabeth, causing the demigod to be constantly careful afterwards about where she stepped since they left dung everywhere.

Shapeshifting: As seen in Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, Hera was quite skilled at changing her form. She has transformed into an eagle while escaping from Kronos' palace, a bat while sneaking into Tartarus' maximum-security zone, and an old woman while visiting Semele. She later transformed into an old woman again to let Jason and Percy prove themselves in The Son of Neptune.

​​​​Possession: Like all gods, Hera is able to possess mortals, such as the current host of the Oracle of Delphi.

Relationships

Love Interests

As confirmed in Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, Hera honestly believes that marriage was forever, for better or worse, which was exactly why her husband's numerous infidelities drove her to such raging jealousy towards his mistresses and children. As one of the most beautiful goddesses, she is often desired by others, though her faithfulness is constant. However, Hera and Zeus have a turbulent relationship in which they often clash for their strong tempers. Though she never rebelled again, Hera occasionally interferes with Zeus' affairs and plans, tricking him into getting what she wants. In The Tower of Nero, Apollo realizes that Hera's marriage to Zeus and the frustration that comes with it is what has turned her into an impossible meddler.

Hera gave birth to Hephaestus on her own, out of spite for Zeus birthing Athena. The second he was born, Hera was repulsed by his appearance and tossed him off Olympus. In retaliation, Hephaestus would bide his time and take revenge by trapping Hera in a throne.

Attributes

Her attributes are a diadem, scepter, Lotus staff (symbol), lily and pomegranate.

Her sacred animals are the peacock and the cow.

Immortal Children

Hera is played by Erica Cerra. She makes a brief appearance near the end of the movie, attending the Olympian Council.

Her name is supposedly derived from the Greek word ἥρως ( hērōs), meaning "defender, protector".

One of Hera's most common epithets is βοῶπις (boōpis), meaning "cow-faced, ox-eyed".

In the series, Hera is known as the Goddess of Marriage and Family, but her oldest sister Hestia is the official Goddess of the Family and Home. It could be theorized that they shared jurisdiction over familial relationships.

As of The Mark of Athena, Hera/Juno is the only major Olympian who has fled from Mount Olympus to escape the wrath of her incapacitated family.

Although she is the goddess and protector of marriage, it is ironic that Hera's marriage isn't peaceful nor too happy due to Zeus' many infidelities and illegitimate children.

Though Hera stated that she is jealous for not having heroes to do her bidding, she could have initiated a group of followers like Artemis did (e.g. funding a group of caretakers).

Hera shares numerous similarities with her mother Rhea:

Their names are anagrams of each other's names.

They are among the most beautiful deities (Rhea is the most beautiful Elder Titaness, while Hera is the most beautiful Elder Olympian).

They are both deities of motherhood.

They are both married to their youngest brothers (Rhea married her brother Kronos, while Hera married her brother Zeus).

Despite her immense hatred of Hercules, Hera is actually the source of his name, godlike strength, and last marriage.

Zeus named his son after Hera in an attempt to placate her rage. Hercules' name meaning "glory of Hera".

Athena took an infant Hercules up to Olympus and presented him to Hera, who didn't know who it was and took pity on the child. While she nursed him, Hercules suckled so hard that he obtained legendary strength. Hera pushed the baby away in pain, dropping her divine milk across the night sky and forming the Milky Way.

Upon his ascension, Hercules married one of Hera's daughters, Hebe.

In myths, Hera regains her virginity every year by a sacred bath so she could celebrate her hierogamy ("sacred marriage") to Zeus, though she is a matron goddess.

In the Orphic version of Dionysus' birth, Hera had the infant child torn to pieces and eaten by the Titans upon discovering Zeus' infidelity. However, the then demigod was brought back to life and his resurrection was celebrated in ancient Greek theatres.

According to the Bibliotheca, Hera raised a storm in an attempt to kill Hercules when he was sailing away from Troy after sacking the city. Zeus became so angry that he seized her, hung her from the sky with golden chains, and attached heavy anvils to her feet. She wept in pain all night, but none of the other gods dared to interfere. Hephaestus tried to release his mother from her humiliating position, for which Zeus threw him out of heaven and his leg was broken by the fall. Hera's weeping kept Zeus up, so the following morning, he agreed to release her if she swore never to rebel again. She had little choice but to agree.

The month of June is named after Hera's Roman counterpart, which is incidentally when many women choose to get married.

Hera's Norse equivalent would be Frigg.

Juno is Hera's Roman counterpart. While the Greeks envisioned Hera as imperious and proud, the Romans saw her counterpart as the patron goddess of Rome. As Juno, she becomes more disciplined, militaristic, and warlike.

Juno is a Roman goddess, the queen of the gods and protectress of women, mother to Mars and the wife of Jupiter. She was believed to watch over and guard the life of every woman from her birth to her death. Juno was apart of the Capitoline Triad alongside Jupiter and Minerva, and the three deities were regarded as guardians of the state.

Juno has many epithets and an extensive history of worship in Rome. She was widely worshiped among the Romans and her cult was also important among the Etruscans. The first days of each Roman month, the kalends, were sacred to Juno, as was the month of June, which is named after her. As she is the Roman goddess of marriage, it is no coincidence that June is still considered the proper month for weddings. Five cities in Latium (the region of the Latin tribe) also named a month for Juno: Aricia, on the Via Appia; Lanuvium, where she was worshiped as Juno Sospita ("the Saviour"), Praeneste (modern Palestrina), Tibur (modern Tivoli, the resort town of Rome), and Laurentum, located between Lavinium and Ostia on the coast.

The principal temples dedicated to her were in Rome, one being erected on the Aventine Hill and the other on the Capitoline, which she shared with Jupiter and Minerva. She had also a temple on the Arx, in which she was worshiped as Juno Moneta ("the Warner"). Adjacent to this shrine was the public mint. On the first of March, a grand annual festival called the Matronalia was celebrated in her honor by all the married women of Rome. This religious institution was accompanied with much solemnity.

In the Series

Some time before the start of the series, Juno learned of the seven demigods who would be needed to battle the forces of Gaea by the Fates. In response, she started working behind Jupiter's back and began to prepare them for the coming battle.

She appeared to a child of Mars named Frank Zhang and told his mother Emily Zhang, that his life force was tied to one of the sticks in the fire, and once it burned up, he would die. Frank's grandmother quickly took the burned piece of wood from the fire, and Emily kept it until she went to war in Afghanistan, upon which Emily gave it to Grandma Zhang to give to Frank if she did not come back. After Emily's death, Frank brought the stick with him to Camp Jupiter.

After the Second Titan War, she came up with a plan to make Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter work together. However she was captured by Gaea with the help of the snow goddess Khione, and Gaea began to drain Juno's power to raise Porphyrion. Juno managed to save up enough energy to send Jason Grace to Piper McLean and Leo Valdez, where he would be taken to Camp Half-Blood. A few days earlier, she had also transported Percy Jackson away from Camp Half-Blood and put him to sleep until the time was right.

After arriving at Camp Half-Blood, Jason is taken to have a private conversation with Chiron. During the conversation, time froze and a woman in goat fur appeared before Jason, introducing herself as his patron and claiming time was short, as her cage grows stronger. Jason misinterpreted this as meaning she was imprisoned and shouldn't help her, but she explained that as long as she was captured, he would never get his memory back. She then vanished shortly after and Jason explained to Chiron what had happened. While the goat skin meant nothing to Annabeth Chase, Chiron explained that goats were sacred to Juno, Hera's Roman form. He then suggested that Jason should see Clovis, son of Hypnos, for help with Jason's memories.

At the same time as Jason's vision, Juno also appeared to both Piper and Leo. She appeared in the form of Leo's old babysitter, Tía Callida, but no one else could see her but Leo. She also sent a message to Piper, speaking through Rachel Elizabeth Dare, telling her not to betray her as letting the Gigantes have their way would result in the end of the world.

While visiting Clovis, Jason learned that the gods have different aspects of themselves and how the gods are both Greek and Roman. He also informed them that only a goddess would have the power to steal memories and that if it was Hera, he hoped that she was in a Hera mood, not a Juno mood due to their differing personalities.

After returning from the quest by saving Hera, Jason is visited by Juno, who promises she is watching over him as his patron and gives him a new gladius to replace his old weapon before Piper comes to bring him to the council meeting of cabin leaders.

Percy stumbled upon an old 'hippie' lady named June who in reality is Juno in disguise. June gives him a choice: he can either carry her to the safety of Camp Jupiter across the highway and Tiber River to regain his memory and, eventually, save the world, or retreat to the safety of the sea and live a long, happy life. Percy eventually chooses to carry her, but is almost killed by the Gorgons along the way.

When Percy arrived at Camp Jupiter, the old woman, being carried to safety by Percy, reveals herself as the goddess Juno. Juno tells the camp that Percy is a son of Neptune and that he had been slumbering for months.

After Percy saved the camp and was elected praetor, she appeared again to Percy in his dream. Percy tried to attack her with water because she stole several months of his life, but she explained that she was working behind Jupiter's back and trying to keep him safe, which would have been harder if he was awake. He needed to be woken at the right time or her plan to combine the two camp's forces wouldn't have worked. She also gave Percy some information about Annabeth, saying she would cause problems when he went to Rome, but Percy didn't believe her and once again tried to attack her, but she simply vanished from his dream.

Neither Juno or Hera are seen or heard from the seven demigods due to the brewing war between the Greeks and Romans. Nemesis states that she fled Olympus to escape the other gods wrath. She is presumably split between her two personalities as of now. Sammy Valdez also mentions that she, disguised as Tìa Callida, informed him that he would not live to see Hazel's great danger. When Piper and Jason meet Hercules they mention that they are on a quest for Hera. Hercules states that he never does anything that helps Hera.

After returning from the House of Hades, Jason recalls his nightmares of Juno assuming her divine form in the Wolf House, claiming that Jason's life belongs to her as an appeasement from his father.

After Odysseus' palace is cleared of evil spirits, Juno is summoned by a wounded Jason through the sacred marriage bed of Penelope and Odysseus. Her presence is coldly regarded by Annabeth, to whom she responds with mutual dislike. Piper asks Juno to heal Jason, but the goddess says that it's beyond her power to do so.

Juno further explains that her Greek and Roman aspects have been conflicting with each other, but the sacred marriage bed of Penelope and Odysseus has provided her temporary relief. She advises the heroes to sail around the Peloponnese and seek out Nike in Olympia. However, before she can fully explain the situation, Juno claims she must flee before Jupiter finds her. Before completely disappearing, the goddess gives the heroes one final piece of advice on their quest: to find Artemis and Apollo on the island of Delos.

After Frank Zhang sacrifices his stick to defeat Caligula, Juno's curse on him is broken and Frank's life is no longer tied to a piece of wood.

Juno's favor and care for her chosen champion Jason Grace is shown to have carried over into her Greek self Hera. As a result, Hera is deeply upset over Jason's loss and enraged at Zeus' seeming lack of caring.

Personality

Much like her Greek aspect, Juno is very much into the idea of a perfect family and the protection of her Olympian family. She is also very sure of herself. She is still bitter toward most heroes, because her faithfulness to her husband, meaning she can't have any demigod children. She says she and Hera and just choose to handle matters with very different strategies.

Unlike Hera, Juno is willing to go behind her husband's back in order to further her own goals. She is even more severe and demanding, regarding her own sons, Mars and Vulcan, as disappointments.

Appearance

In The Lost Hero, Juno appeared mostly in black robes and a goat skin cloak, carrying a Roman gladius with her before giving it to Jason. While her eyes couldn't be seen, they glowed in the darkness.

When she appeared at Camp Jupiter, Juno stood at about seven feet tall, while her face was stern and stately. She was dressed in a blue dress with a cloak made of goat skin, which hung over her shoulders, and her hand held a staff with a white lotus flower on top.

Attributes

Juno is generally pictured like a matron, with a grave and majestic air, sometimes with a scepter in her hand, and a veil on her head. Homer represents her in a chariot adorned with gems, having wheels of ebony, nails of silver, and horses with reins of gold, though more commonly her chariot is drawn by peacocks, her favorite birds. Hera is represented also with a spear in her hand and sometimes with a patĕra, as if she were about to sacrifice. On some medals she has a peacock at her feet, and sometimes holds the Palladium. The most obvious character of Juno and that which we are apt to imbibe the most early of any, from the writings of Homer and Virgil, is that of an imperious and haughty wife. In both of these poets' works we find her much more often scolding Jupiter than caressing him, and in the tenth Aeneid in particular, even in the council of the gods, we have a remarkable instance of this.

Various Aspects of Juno

Jason Grace was named after the original Jason, Juno's favorite hero, in an attempt to placate her rage, much like Hercules. Unlike Hercules and his other illegitimate siblings, Juno did not try to kill Jason and instead considered him her champion as Jupiter gave his life to her. She becomes fond of the demigod and constantly helped him throughout the series. This care extends to her Hera aspect who was shown to be deeply grieving the loss of Jason.

In The Lost Hero, Juno referred to Ares and Hephaestus as her children while talking to Jason, though she should have called them by their Roman names, Mars and Vulcan respectively. It is possible she did this because Jason was at Camp Half-Blood at the time or it could be a simple error.

Juno appears as a character in William Shakespeare's play The Tempest.

Hathor

Alias

Goddess of Love and Beauty
Goddess of Music, Joy and Dance

Hathor is the Egyptian goddess of love, beauty, music, and joy. She is the alternate form of , the goddess of war.

Sekhmet, Hathor's original form, was once the "Eye of Ra ", sent by the sun god to go down to Earth in order to exact retribution on humanity for their crimes against the gods. She did as she was instructed and began a horrible slaughter, killing almost everything in her sight. When Ra looked down upon the Earth, he was horrified by the carnage and ordered Sekhmet to cease her rampage. Sekhmet, however, refused, having become overcome with bloodlust, and continued with her slaughter.

Fearing that Sekhmet's actions may lead to humanity's extinction, Ra and the other gods devised a plan to stop her. They took 7,000 jugs of beer and mixed it with pomegranate juice (which stained the wine a blood red), whereupon they poured the mixture onto Sekhmet's path. The goddess gorged herself on the "blood," becoming so drunk that she fell into a deep slumber, and she would not wake until three days later. During that time, Ra took some of Sekhmet's essence and used it to form a new goddess - Hathor. Now kind and benevolent, she would only take the form of Sekhmet when it was deemed absolutely necessary, and only at the request of her father, Ra.

One of her most important roles is that as a goddess of motherhood and protector of pregnant women. In the earliest myths, she was the mother of Horus, though Isis ultimately supplants this role. Later myths have Hathor becoming the wife of Horus after healing his eye that had been taken out - the Eye of Horus.

While Sekhmet is hunting Sadie Kane, Carter Kane, and Zia Rashid they trick her into a deep sleep by feeding her salsa. She becomes Hathor.

Appearance

After she takes her appearance as Hathor, she appears as a sleeping giant cow. Later she is described as a woman with the head of a cow face.

Hathor can make people fall in love. She also created music and dancing.

Amokinesis: As the Goddess of Love, Hathor has absolute control and divine authority over the emotions of love and desire.

Audiokinesis: As the Goddess of Music, Hathor has absolute control and divine authority over sound waves and music.

Relationships

One of Hathor's roles is a goddess of celebration, dance and music. This is possibly alluded to when Hathor appears at the salsa factory, as salsa is a common party snack and a type of Latin American dance.

Her Greco-Roman equivalents are Aphrodite/Venus and the Muses and to some extent, Dionysus for her role as goddess of partying and drugs.

Family

Horus is the Egyptian god of war and the sky. Originally, he was the son of Geb and Nut, born on the second Demon Day. Later, he was reborn to Osiris and Isis.

Horus was originally born on the second Demon Day, the second son of Geb and Nut, the personifications of the heavens and the Earth, respectively. In a later life, he would be reborn as the son of Osiris and Isis, otherwise known as "Horus the Younger" or "Horus the Child". After his father, Osiris, was murdered by his uncle, Set, Isis hid the infant Horus away and began training him to avenge his father's death and reclaim the throne as pharaoh of Egypt. When he came of age, Horus eventually recovered the casket in which his father was imprisoned. However, before he could free Osiris, Set destroyed the casket, scattering its remains all across Egypt. Enraged, Horus attacked his uncle, facing off against Set in a series of battles, in which he ultimately emerged victorious. Set was then driven out to the desert, far beyond Egypt's borders, as Horus assumed the throne as the new pharaoh. As pharaoh, Horus reinstated much of his parents' policies, and eventually reunited Egypt, for which he came to be known as Horu-Sema-Tawy ("Horus, uniter of the two lands"). He soon took the goddess Hathor for his wife, siring four sons - Imsety, Duamutef, Hapi, and Qebehsenuef. As the god of the sky, Horus was the patron and protector of the pharaoh, and he often instructed them in the art of war.

During his battle with Set, the god ripped out one of Horus' eyes, as the latter retaliated by puncturing one of Set's testicles. The eye was later replaced by the god Thoth using moonlight - this " Eye of Horus", as it is known, served to represent the waxing and waning phases of the moon, during which the moon appears to have been "torn out" of the sky before being "restored" once every lunar month.

After Ra left the Earth, the Egyptians believed that Horus had taken his place as the sun god. In some stories, the various forms of Horus (baby, teenager, and adult) represented the path of the sun, with the infant Horus being the sun at dawn, teenager at noon, and adult at dusk. Furthermore, stories differed as to what Horus' exact parentage is. Some claim him to be the son of Isis while others state he is the son of Nut. But mostly, it has been organized that Horus was reborn to Isis and Osiris during the ages.

When Julius Kane summons the mighty Osiris using the Rosetta Stone, he also unleashes Osiris' current and former siblings. Horus quickly takes Julius' son, Carter as his host by using his amulet as a medium. Set attacks Carter, but is pushed back by an unknown force. This is later discovered to be Horus. As Carter and his sister, Sadie, progress on their mission to stop Set from destroying North America, Horus aids the former by accelerating the development of his powers and offering knowledge and wisdom, constantly urging him to give up control of their shared body. When finally confronting his uncle, Set, in the Red Pyramid, Horus achieved a rare experience of the balance of minds with his host, allowing him to utilize his full power.

However, he would have lost if Sadie/ Isis had not exposed Apophis as the true mastermind behind Set's plan and forced the storm god into an alliance against the serpent. Horus withdrew soon after from Carter at his request though he left some of his essence inside his amulet. Horus then reclaimed the throne of gods and asked Carter to join him in his rule who declined on the basis that he needed to train himself lots and lots. Horus said "Five thousand years and I still don't understand mortals."

In a dream Horus tells Carter the location of the first part of the Book of Ra and warns him that in five days Apophis will be strong enough to break free from his prison and devour Ra, the god of Ma'at (order). Later in another dream Horus pulls Carter into the Duat (the magical realm that co-exists with our world) and shows him the current despaired state of the Solar Barge, the dangers Ra's nightly journey faced, and finally the prison of Apophis in a form Carter can understand. Horus tries to dissuade Carter from returning Ra to the throne. Horus does not believe Ra has the strength to lead the gods into battle with Apophis. He states he told Carter about the Book of Ra because it has to be Carter's decision.

Carter channels Horus's power to break out of the Hermitage using the Fist of Horus. He later realizes that he used an emotional collection to do so. He uses it again to part the Nile and shortly after to wake Zia.

At the end, Horus steps aside allowing Ra to retake his throne. He swears allegiance to Ra, but is doubtful of Ra's ability to recover or lead. Publicly, he shows a strong bond with Carter in front of the other gods, but privately he threatens Carter that if Ra's leadership dooms the world or if Apophis is defeated without Ra's aid and Horus was forced to abdicate for no reason then he will inflict a terrible curse upon Carter and his entire family for the humiliation he has caused him.

Carter communicates with Horus, who is possessing a pigeon, when he is considering an execration spell on Apophis. Horus helps Carter come up with the idea of shadow execration to stop Apophis, but he doesn't know much about magic saying he mostly just focuses on hitting an enemy directly until they're destroyed. Horus has to leave when the pigeon can't host him any more.

Carter communicates with him throughout the rest of the story, channeling his power and at one point asking for a weapon as he has lost his khopesh. Horus only sends him an ostrich feather, presumably due to his lack of power in that part of the Land of the Demons.

Later, Carter merges with Horus again and uses his power along with his own during his and Sadie's execrating Apophis' shadow. Apophis is destroyed and Horus leaves with the other gods, upsetting Carter as he didn't even say goodbye. Bast tells Carter not to take it personally, but Carter is not sure if Horus simply got rid of him once he didn't need him anymore. Horus later takes up the throne of the gods again and Carter thinks he ripped off Carter's own acceptance speech.​​

Apollo mentions Horus in reference to the expansion of the Greek pantheon's influence.

After realizing that the god they are looking for is Harpocrates, Apollo explains that he was once an incarnation of Horus. However, the Greeks became confused by the statues that they had found of Horus as Harpocrates which had Horus with his finger to his lips. The Greeks mistook this as a sign for silence when in reality it meant child and began worshipping Harpocrates as an entirely different entity. As a result, Harpocrates became a very minor Greek-Egyptian hybrid god entirely seperate from Horus.

Personality

Horus is somewhat arrogant, annoying and self-centered but also brave and honorable. However, in The Throne of Fire, Horus also appears somewhat mean and demeaning. However, he may quickly forgive or can at least move past his grudges as he advised and assisted Carter in The Serpent's Shadow without the reluctance and manipulation Isis tried on Sadie and gave Carter forbidden information when asked about sheuts, possibly showing a deep level of trust in Carter. However, Horus is shown to have a limited understanding of magic, something he freely admits himself and tells Carter his mindset is to attack an enemy until they are dead which Carter points out is not actually very useful. He prefers brute force and tends to irritate Carter by his insistence all the time on merging with Carter again to use brute force on the current enemy. Horus also doesn't understand sarcasm, as shown when Carter sarcastically agrees with him that pigeons are noble and he thinks Carter really means it. While he is a bit pushy in some instances, such as trying to get Carter to give him control and later merge with him again, he seems to respect people's decisions better than Isis as he never pushed too hard and accepted the decision, though he would try to show or explain his reasons for wanting what he did. Horus is fond of winged animals, having an affinity for the falcon, presumably due to his ability to turn into one. When he comes to visit Carter, he takes a pigeon as his host, saying that he wanted a falcon but settled for the pigeon instead as it had wings and he considered it noble. This affinity is also shown by his connection to griffins: he uses them to pull his chariot in battle and they obey his commands and by extension, anyone with a connection to him such as Carter Kane. When he leaves Carter without saying goodbye, Carter wonders if Horus was being callous, that he simply was using him the entire time and discarded him when he had no further use for him. However, Bast indicates that callousness was not behind this, saying not to take that action personally. As Isis did the same to Sadie, this is likely true. Horus also seems to lack creativity: he attacks his enemy until they are defeated which caused him to war with Set for years before defeating him and during his acceptance speech as leader of the gods once more, he seems to rip off his former host Carter's speech as pharaoh of the House of Life.

Appearance

Horus is a fairly young god, with a shaved head and a braided ponytail; he physically appears to be around Carter's age of 14 even though he is 5,000 years old (due to his immortality) and dresses as a warrior, wearing leather armor and a sheathed khopesh on his waist. One of Horus' most distinguishing features are his different colored eyes (both of which are outlined with kohl), the right one being gold and the left being silver. This is the result in having one of them stabbed out by Set; the eye was replaced by Thoth, who restored it using moonlight, and thus created the silver Eye of Horus.

Horus is the god of war, and as such, he is one of the most powerful gods of the Egyptian pantheon. His battle instincts are so respected among the gods, that it lead for some of them to wish that Horus became the pharaoh of the gods, instead of Ra.

Horus is also one of the two gods to possess the Secret Name of Ra, the chief of gods. Horus also has great political power as the king of gods, and is one of the most powerful deities, able to overpower powerful gods such as Sobek, Set and, along with Carter Kane, is able to cast the Shadow Execration spell on Apophis himself. Horus is also given Ra's own crook and flail, the two weapons of Ra.

Combat Skills: Being the god of war, Horus is one of the greatest warrior gods. When Carter was his Eye he described it that every move was perfect and every strike was so much fun he wanted to laugh out loud. He has incredibly fast reflexes, enhanced strength, and great aim and speed. His senses are so sharp he can guess the approximate time to sunrise and has godly battle instincts that give him the right reactions in combat. His weapons of choice are a khopesh and javelin.

Combat Magic: Horus is a powerful combat god, whose avatar is used by Carter Kane and Julian. It is a large hawk headed warrior with powerful armor and a giant khopesh. Horus is by far the most powerful deity in Combat Magic, being the god of combat, except perhaps for Set. His avatar can also be used to only summon a fist to punch things or a karate chop to crack things.

Combat Avatar: As a God of war and combat Horus can create huge battle avatars to protect his host. And it's powerful enough to defeat other God's.

Weapons summoning: Being a war deity Horus can summon khopesh and blades and even turn them to energy weapons for his Combat Avatar.

Fist of Horus: Horus and the strike spell but to greater extant due to being a combat God.

Animal Charming: Horus can summon and calm his sacred creatures, and order them to attack his target. His sacred creatures include falcons and griffins. Carter Kane used the Eye of Horus to calm Freak the griffin and Carter also persuades Freak into helping him. When Horus hosted Carter he showed the ability to transform into a falcon. Later he showed that he naturally can see like a falcon so his eyesight is many times sharper than most.

Space Distortion: Horus is also the god of the sky, and thus, can control it to some extent. He can distort space and create dangerous anomalies to attack his opponent.

Telekinesis: Horus can move things without touching them. Carter has shown to be able to use this ability, when hosting Horus. The first time, he opened the door of Brooklyn House. The second time, he opened the door of his dormitory in the First Nome. The third time, Carter uses it to protect himself from Set. After obtaining the weapons of Ra, Horus' telekinesis increases greatly as he can summon waves of invisible force and columns of fire.

Shapeshifting: As a god Horus has the ability to transform into many different animals and forms. He can turn into falcon and hawks he can turn into pure energy and hawk-headed version of himself.

Storm Creation (possibly): As a god of the sky to possible for Horus to possess power over it such as storm manipulation.

Duat Usage: Horus (like many gods) often stores weapons in the Duat.

Duat Travel: Horus (like many gods) can enter the Duat with ease. He can travel long distances through the Duat.

Enhanced Strength: Horus is incredibly strong even for a god, and it is one of the things that earned him respect amongst the gods.

Portal Summoning: While Horus prefers to travel though the Duat, he is pretty efficient at creating portals.

Relationships

Although Carter often finds Horus obnoxious and Horus is continuously frustrated by Carter's refusal to surrender his body to Horus, the two have developed a mutual respect and friendship. This eventually plays a role in allowing them to synchronize their movements. This friendship is most clear when Horus leaves Carter's body and Carter is grieved by his absence. In The Throne of Fire, Horus is angry at Carter and Sadie for dethroning him and setting a senile god, Ra, on the throne. Publicly he embraces Carter as his ally, calling him his brother, but privately he shows Carter his vengeful side, saying that while he is still his ally and will lend him his powers when needed, he had cost him a throne and if they do not succeed he will squash Carter like a gnat and put a punishment on his family unlike that of ever before. However, he may have forgiven him by The Serpent's Shadow as he shows no anger towards him there and works with him with no issues. Horus assists Carter during his efforts to find Apophis' sheut, appearing to him as a pigeon and helping him come up with the plan, talking with him about sheuts which is a forbidden topic between mortals and gods, showing a great level of trust in Carter. He later communicates with him and tries to send him a weapon, though only succeeding in sending him an ostrich feather due to his powerlessness in the part of the Duat Carter is in. Later, the two merge again to battle the rebel magicians and Carter uses his power along with Carter's own during the execration spell on Apophis' sheut. After Apophis is destroyed, Horus leaves Earth and Carter with the other gods and Carter is disappointed that Horus didn't even say goodbye which he is told not to take personally though Carter wonders if Horus simply felt he didn't need Carter anymore and thus didn't care enough to say goodbye. When Horus takes up the throne of the gods again, Carter thinks he may have ripped off Carter's own acceptance speech as Pharaoh of the House of Life. Bast says this is because Horus' actions will mirror Carter's. In The Throne of Fire, Horus mentions Carter in his vision that he will support Carter in whatever decision Carter takes.

Set was once Horus brother in there first life but in the second he was Horus uncle. After Set killed Horus father Set attempted to kill and unborn Horus and his mother. But Isis escaped Set and went in to hiding.

While trying to leave the New York Metropolitan Museum Zia instructs Sadie to place the Sons of Horus at the cardinal directions. Horus' four sons are Duamutef, Imsety, Hapi, and Qebehsenuef. They are most famous for protecting the organs of the deceased and are often seen on canopic jars.

Horus is the only one out of the five gods (Set, Nephthys, Isis, and Osiris) to not have a significant other seen or mentioned in The Red Pyramid.

Several Egyptian myths portray Hathor, the goddess of happiness and joy, as being Horus' wife. Together, they have four sons, collectively known as the Four Sons of Horus.

Horus says that his understanding of magic is quite basic: "Hit enemy with a sword until he's dead. If he rises hit him again. Repeat as necessary." He then added that "it worked against Set". Carter then asks "How long did that take?" Horus replied, "7 years."

Despite the sheut being a forbidden subject among the gods, Horus talks about it freely with Carter even before Anubis talks to Sadie about it. This is a subject that even Bast hesitated on, however this may be due to Horus' lack of knowledge of magic and possibly not knowing it was forbidden.

The Eye of Horus was believed to protect travelers thus why it's often found on boats.

It is said that Horus doesn't get sarcasm, however he uses it in The Serpent's Shadow. This could show that his bond with Carter has caused him to grasp the principles of several mortal emotions.

His Greco-Roman equivalent would be Ares/Mars.

His Persian equivalent is Mithras in the sense of light, military and justice.

Jupiter (sometimes Jove) is the Roman counterpart of . As Jupiter, he becomes more strict, disciplined, militaristic, responsible, calm and warlike. The Greeks envisioned Zeus as a powerful and proud being, while the Romans envisioned Jupiter as a more formal and stoic version of his Greek counterpart, as well as more responsible.

Jupiter is the chief god of the Roman pantheon and king of the gods, equivalent to and cognate with the Greek Zeus. He is a god of light and the sky, regarded as the protector of the state and its laws. The Romans worshipped him especially as Iuppiter Optimus Maximus ("Jupiter the Best and the Greatest"). This name refers not only to his rule over the universe, but also to his function as the deity who distributes laws, controls the realm, and makes his will known through various oracles. He is also called Jove, most notably by English poets such as Alexander Pope and George Chapman, a name which derives from the majority of the grammatical forms of the word Iuppiter, all of which take the form Iov- (e.g. Iovis, Iove, Iovī).

He had a temple on Rome's Capitoline Hill, sharing it with his wife Juno and daughter Minerva, but he was the most prominent of this Capitoline triad. His temple was not only the most important sanctuary in Rome, but was also the center of Roman political life; there official offerings were made, treaties were signed and wars were declared, and the triumphant generals of the Roman army came here to give their thanks.

Representation

The distinguishing character of his person is majesty, and every thing about him carries dignity and authority with it; his look is meant to strike, sometimes with terror, and sometimes with gratitude, but always with respect. The Capitoline Jupiter, or Iuppiter Optimus Maximus, was the great guardian of the Romans, and was represented, in his chief temple, on the Capitoline Hill, as sitting on a curule chair, with a bolt of lightning in his right hand, and a scepter in his left.

The poets describe him as standing amidst his rapid horses, or his horses that make the thunder; for as the ancients had a strange idea of the brazen vault of heaven, they seem to have attributed the noise in a thunder storm to the rattling of Jupiter's chariot and horses on that great arch of brass all over their heads, as they supposed that he himself flung the flames out of his hand, which dart at the same time out of the clouds, beneath this arch.

Under the reign of Jupiter arose the Silver Age, which succeeded the Golden Age of Saturn and preceded the Bronze Age. The four Ages of Man as described by Ovid are the Golden Age, Silver Age, Bronze Age, and the Iron Age, in which man grows increasingly deceitful and dishonorable.

When Jason Grace is found by Annabeth Chase at the Grand Canyon, he calls the gods by their Roman names instead of the Greek ones. Later that day, Chiron, who knows a small bit about his past, says that Jason was already claimed. To prove this, Jason calls down a bolt of lightning to prove he is a son of Zeus, but in actuality, he is a son of Jupiter.

Later when meeting with Thalia Grace, she talks about how Zeus returned to their mother Beryl once after she was born. She described him as being different from how she remembered him, being more forbearing, mature, and fatherly. This is because Beryl had gained not the attention of Zeus, but Jupiter.

While not seen, the Roman demigods have the highest respect for Jupiter. The camp itself is named after him, as well as the largest temple on Temple Hill, the Temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus and has a large statue of Jupiter holding a lightning bolt inside. When Percy Jackson saw it, he remarked on how his bolt didn't look like that. Later, after the Roman War Games, Mars appeared and told the Romans that while Jupiter doesn't like the gods speaking directly to mortals, he gave Mars permission to speak for only a few minutes.

Iris also mentioned Jupiter to Frank Zhang, telling him that he was the one that sent the harpies to keep food and drink away from Phineas as punishment for revealing the intentions of the gods to mortals. Jupiter is later mentioned by Juno during her conversation with Percy, admitting to him that she was working behind Jupiter's back in order to bring the two sets of demigods together. She also admits that Jupiter has a long history of his pride leading him to be wrong on important issues only to be forced to change his stand on a later date.

Jason is stated to be a son of Jupiter multiple times.

Juno explains she has to keep moving and cannot do much to aid the demigods because Jupiter blames her for the war and seeks to punish her.

During the final battle against the giants, Jason fully accepts his status as a son of Jupiter.

Apollo mentions him when comparing his Greek and Roman aspects, preferring Zeus over him.

Personality

According to Thalia, Jupiter is far more disciplined than his Greek counterpart, acting in a more paternal manner towards his children than Zeus. Jupiter also limits how and when the gods can interact with mortals and demigods, showing a more strict and closed up relationship even towards his own demigod children.

As one of the Big Three, Jupiter has the ultimate powers a god can possess, and is rivaled only by his brothers, Neptune and Pluto. He possesses the standard physical, intellectual, and magical superiority inherent in all gods, though to a much greater degree due to his status as one of the oldest gods as well as one of the Big Three.

Aerokinesis: As the God of the Sky, he has absolute control over air.

Nephelokinesis: He has complete control over clouds.

He can manipulate clouds and any other air structures.

He can generate wind.

He can generate incredibly powerful hurricanes and tornadoes.

He can manipulate air currents and fly.

Atmokinesis: As the God of the Sky, he has absolute control over the weather.

Electrokinesis: As the God of Thunder and Lightning, he has absolute control over both static and celestial electricity.

He is immune to lightning.

He can generate tremendous bolts of lightning.

He can send static shock through the bodies of others on contact.

Vitakinesis: In The Tyrant's Tomb, Apollo believed that if he summoned Jupiter to help, the god would be capable of healing his zombie infection.

Jupiter is the namesake of Camp Jupiter.

The fifth and biggest planet of the Solar System was named after the god.

Jupiter's moons, with the exception of Ganymede and Pasiphae, are all named after his ex-lovers (Callisto, Europa, etc.)

An alternate name for Jupiter is Jove, used by Pope in his translation of The Iliad. This arises from the fact that although the nominative and vocative singular cases are Iuppiter, the rest take forms with the stem Iov-. For example, the genitive singular is Iovis.

Jupiter is referred to as Optimus Maximus, meaning "the best and the greatest" in Latin. The former is the superlative masculine singular form of bonus (good), and the latter is the superlative masculine singular of magnus (great, big).

Jupiter, a town in Florida, is named after this Roman god.

Frank Zhang states that as Jupiter, Zeus became a more responsible god. This could relate to Thalia describing him as being more fatherly than his Greek aspect, Zeus.

Jupiter is spelled Iuppiter in Latin.

"

By Gungnir, the hallowed weapon of the All-Father, I declare that these seven heroes shall have full rights of passage through the Nine Worlds, including Valhalla. Wherever they go, they shall go in my name, serving the will of Asgard. Let no one interfere on pain of death!

"

-Odin after pardoning and rewarding Magnus Chase and his friends in The Sword of Summer.

Odin (ON: Óðinn,from óðr 'mad, raving'), also referred to as the All-Father, is the third chief of the Æsir tribe of Norse Gods and one of the most prominent figures in Norse mythology. He is the god of wisdom, poetry, war, death, divination, and magic and the king of Asgard. He is the patron of rulers, wanderers, and outcasts. He was known as Wōden to the Anglo-Saxons and Wōtan to the southern Germanic peoples.

Odin was born to the Æsir god Bor and the female jötunn Bestla. Along with his brothers, Vil and Ve, he slew the primordial giant Ymir, and from his body created one of the Nine Worlds, the world of humans: Midgard. Then, the brothers formed the first humans - Ask and Embla - from two tree trunks, and placed them in Midgard, surrounded by a fence to protect them from the inhabitants of Utgard ("Outlands").

Odin first appeared disguised as a half- troll named X who died trying to stop a dog fighting ring. After Magnus Chase arrived at the Hotel Valhalla, he, Halfborn Gunderson, Thomas Jefferson Jr., and Mallory Keen invite Magnus to breakfast. They explain to the son of Frey how the worlds are connected and how they came to Valhalla. They then head to battle practice where he and others are crushed by a boulder. Early the next morning he and the others cover Magnus's escape from the hotel.

X and the others are recruited by Gunilla to take Magnus back to the hotel. They try to apprehend him when he, Samirah al-Abbas, Blitzen, and Hearthstone are about to cross into Yggdrasil but they are stopped by Hearth.

They then appear on Lyngvi - the island where Fenris Wolf is bound - but they disobey the Valkyrie captain and side with Magnus. Surt then appears and they fight. He takes out several fire giants before the island starts to disappear. They escape on a magic longship and arrive back at the Hotel. The eight are brought before the thanes and X reveals that he is Odin, although it was previously hinted by Fenris Wolf as he smelled some "delicious" male hiding among Magnus' hallmates (hence the name of the chapter). Odin says that he was at a convention learning how to improve the hotel. He awards Blitzen by freeing him from Mimir's service and giving him the funding to start a fashion shop. He awards Hearthstone by giving him private lessons in Rune Magic on Asgard, Sam by giving her a job that consists of special tasks. And he awards Magnus by offering him a choice to either go to Folkvanger or be returned to Midgard and released from his Einherjar duties, but Magnus says that he is happy at Valhalla. He then grants all of them access to all of the Nine Worlds.

Magnus mentioned that Odin has not been seen since he rebound Fenris Wolf.

Odin, along with the other gods, appears at the end of the book. Odin congratulates and thanks everyone and asks Magnus if he would want a reward defeating Loki. It is revealed that Odin already had a supply of Kvasir's Mead, but Magnus thinks that the reason that he didn't just give it to them in the first place, is because he's "a leader, not a sharer".

Just Another Decapitated Head

Odin is alerted by Hunding of a food fight among the Valkyries. The bellhop leads him to the feast hall of the slain and, after being hit in the face with raw meat, orders them to stop and to clean up their mess. He asks Hunding to assemble the Thanes in an hour to deside on a new captain of the Valkyries. He then goes to his throne Hlidskjalf to inspect the Nine Worlds, but sees Heimdallr taking a video of Thor's goats in pajamas and tells him to get back to lookout. He also sees Thor getting ready to go for a jog to get an an appearance on one of his favorite Midgard television shows. Just then the horn sounds and he goes to select a new captain.

When he arrives he reviews possible candidates selected by the Thanes. He finds Freydis, the daughter of Erik the Red to be too old for the position, Kara the girlfriend of Helgi, to be good natured but clumsy, and Boudica, a Celtic warrior queen who died in 61 C.E. to be too aggressive. The next candidate is Hladgunnr, the daughter of Hel, who he is shocked to see due to being expelled from the Valkryies. She then shapeshifts into Utgard-Loki. He throws Gungnir at him, only to miss (Gungnir never misses), then Utgard-Loki vanishes. Odin orders everyone but Hunding to leave the room. He tells the bellhop to do three things: track Thor through his fitness band, have the Einherjar perform an assault on Heindall to make sure he is not slacking off, and to tell the Thanes he will be away for a while. The All-father then shapeshifts into a woman to determine a worthy captain of the Valkyries from the inside.

My Eighth-Grade Physics Actually Comes in Handy

Odin calls Samirah al-Abbas to his office to inform her of the Three Roosters who will crow at Ragnarok. Although Gullinkambi and Nameless (Odin named it that since it has no name) are confirmed to be in their eggs, Fialar's egg in Jotunheim was clouded by the jotnar. Odin thought that there might be something going on, so he asks Sam to take a new picture of the egg.

Appearance

Odin is described in The Sword of Summer as a barrel-chested man with massive arms. He has close-cropped gray hair, while his beard is cut square, to accentuate his hardened, weathered face. His empty left eye socket is covered by a black patch, while his right eye is dark blue. At the end of The Sword of Summer Odin wears a short-sleeve Hotel Valhalla polo shirt, along with a massive sword hanging at his side.

As the half-troll X, Odin was built like a bomb-containment chamber. His skin was the color of a shark's belly, rippling with muscles and stippled with warts. There were so many welts on his face it was hard to tell which one was his nose.

During Magnus Chase's vision of the past in The Ship of the Dead, Odin was seen in one of his many disguises, Bolverk. He was wearing mud-stained blue robes, a big hat, and supporting himself on a wooden staff.

Personality

Odin is clever and sly, manipulating events and situations from behind the curtains, and almost no one really knows what he's doing or planning, an example of this was when he disguised himself as an half- troll named X, while everyone else believed that he had disappeared from Valhalla. Odin is also a seeker of knowledge, since he sacrificed his left eye, and hanged himself for nine days in order to obtain knowledge over the universe and master reality itself through the runes.

Odin can be extremely ruthless when he's angered, since he killed both the sons of Loki, Vali and Narvi, and used their entrails to bind Loki to a slab while a serpent dripped caustic venom on his face. All of this only to punish Loki for killing Balder.

Despite being a brutal and mischievous god, as a god of war, Odin values courage and bravery, ordering his valkyries to only bring to Valhalla those warriors who died in battle sacrificing themselves for their causes. He also likes to reward those who have done services to him, since he even offered Magnus Chase, the chance to return to his old life as a living human, something that had not happened to any other einherjar.

Being one of the first Æsir ever born, the All-Father of Asgard, and along with his brothers, the one responsible for slaying the giant Ymir, Odin is an immensely powerful god whose power and authority is respected throughout the Nine Worlds.

Divine Wisdom: As the God of Wisdom, Odin is by far the wisest god of all. After drinking from the Well of Mimir, for which he sacrificed his left eye, Odin's perception transcended the regular, mortal dimension of understanding. After hanging from Yggdrasil for nine days, Odin gained insight into the fabric of reality itself, and that later helped him discover runes, and to utilize them as a form of magic.

Mystiokinesis: As the God of Magic, he has absolute control and divine authority over magic. To understand magic and the runes, Odin hung himself by the neck from the branch of Yggdrasil. After nine days, he gained the knowledge that allowed him to master the reality-shaping force.

Shapeshifting: Odin has the power to change his form, although it seems to be somewhat inferior to that of Loki. His usual traveling disguise is an old mortal vagabond in a blue cloak. During the events of The The Sword of Summer, he donned a disguise of a half-troll nicknamed X.

Poetry: After he stole the Mead of Kvasir from the Jotnar, Odin also became the God of Poetry, and gained the ability to speak and write beautifully and persuasively. It is said that he occasionally distributes it to certain gods, humans, and other beings he deems worthy (such as William Shakespeare, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and Shel Silverstein).

Odikinesis: As the God of War, he has control over the elements of war, including emotions like rage and anger.

Telumkinesis: As the God of War, Odin has absolute control and divine authority control over weapons.

Necromancy: As the God of Death, Odin has absolute control and divine authority over death and the dead. He is somewhat related to the heroic and mysterious side of death.
Resurrection: He once offered to allow Magnus Chase to return to his old life, suggesting that he can bring his einherjar back to life.

Divination: As the God of Divination, Odin has the power to gain knowledge, awareness and wisdom through magic, and might be able to see into the future, past, and present.

Attributes and Attendants

Odin's main weapon, as well as his symbol of power, is a spear called Gungnir (ON: "Swaying One").

Odin has several loyal attendants, some of which include two ravens, Hugin and Munin ("thought" and "memory"), two wolves, Geri and Freki ("ravenous" and "greedy"), and his faithful stallion, the eight-legged son of Loki, Sleipnir ("glider").

Immortal Children

Demigod Children

Odin's name can be translated as either "master of ecstasy" or "master of fury, the furious."

Odin gained his nickname, the All-Father, because of his status as the spiritual father to all the Æsir gods, as well as his heritage: his father was an Æsir, his mother was a jotunn, and Odin himself is also associated with the Vanir god, Óðr.

His Greco-Roman equivalent (in terms of supreme authority) is Zeus/Jupiter. In terms of attributes, however, Odin encompasses multiple roles shared by different Greek deities (e.g. Athena/Minerva, Apollo, Ares/Mars, Hecate/Trivia, Dionysus/Bacchus, Thanatos/Letus and Orcus).
A Roman historian and senator, Tacitus, also associated Wodenaz (Odin's older Proto-Germanic incarnation) with Mercury due to his role as a psychopomp.

His Egyptian equivalent (in terms of supreme authority) is Ra. In term of attributes, however, Odin encompasses multiple roles shared by different Egyptian deities (e.g. Thoth, Horus, Anubis, and Isis).

In the Elder Futhark rune alphabet, Odin is associated with the Ansuz rune.

Along with Freya, he's one of the two greatest practitioners of magic amongst the Norse gods.

He is apart of a trinity of gods responsible for creating mankind from boughs, the other two being Vili/Honir and Ve (or Lodour).

During the events of Ragnarök, the vicious wolf Fenrir will swallow Odin whole.

The English weekday Wednesday was named after him (from Old English Wōdnesdæġ, "Woden's day").

He stood in a blizzard for six days to learn how to use a smartphone.

Several characters from J.R.R Tolkien's fiction were inspired by the god Odin. The appearance of the wizard Gandalf was particularly inspired by Odin's "wanderer" guise, whereas other aspects of the god directly influenced other characters such as Saruman, Sauron, Morgoth, and Manwë.

Music inspired by or featuring the god includes the ballets Odins Schwert (1818) and Orfa (1852) by J. H. Stunz and the opera cycle Der Ring des Nibelungen (1848-1874) by Richard Wagner.

Odin, a Swedish satellite used for aeronomical observations, is named after him.

Many locations in Denmark, Sweden, Germany, and England are named after Odin.

The country Sweden derived its name from Svidur, one of the many names of Odin.

Santa Claus is actually a blending of Odin and the Christian legend of Saint Nicholas. In the early days, children in Northern Europe would leave their shoes, filled with carrots or other edibles, near the chimney for Odin's horse Sleipnir to eat while resting from hunting. In exchange, Odin would leave gifts or candy.

Human sacrifices were made in honor of Odin, with many accounts of even kings being sacrificed.

He endured weeks of motivational speaking to find how to have a successful afterlife.

Odin is the second god to have a point of view in a series, the first being Apollo.
