#i just felt this line was unfairly biased against rome

"Oh, please! You're from the Roman Camp, aren't you? Rome was built on slavery. Don't get all high and mighty with me!"

Rick, why do you throw the jabs only at Rome? I'm pretty sure Ancient Greece had slavery too. And I know this is just an example of Phineas being evil, but this is slander against Rome! Treating Rome like it's worse than other cultures! When we all know many civilizations had slavery, not just Rome. So really: Why do you seem to hate Rome, Rick Riordan!?

The only major roman we meet who has no connections to the greeks or any other pantheons is probably Octavian, and you portray him like a monster! Yet when you had Luke doing evil on the Greek side, you tried to paint him as a sympathetic antagonist! Why do you have such a prejudice against the mighty culture of Rome!? Why!?
