i feel like we gloss over the first few pages of SoN FAR too much. i mean, take percy’s name out and i would think it’s all about hercules. the book opens by dropping banger after banger regarding percy’s recent escapades, as if this is some epic greek myth.
like how did rick just casually slip in that percy strangled a sea monster with his bare hands (no biggie) and we as the readers were just like “sounds right, anyway—”

"Claire," he whispered. " Please. Let me give ye comfort."
"Comfort?" I said. "And how will you do that? Can you give me back my child?"
He sank to his knees before me, but I kept my head down, staring into my upturned hands, laid empty on my lap. I felt his movement as he reached to touch me, hesitated, drew back, reached again.
"No," he said, his voice scarcely audible. "No, I canna do that. But....with the grace of God....I might give ye another?"

She doesn't answer. Instead, she keeps looking at me, as if she can't get enough of me. I hate her eyes. Black and shiny and big. I hate the perfect mouth. I hate her collarbone, visible under the slipped fabric. I hate that I've never seen anyone more beautiful in my life.
I just read a new book and I immediately thought of Agathario when I came to this part.
