The Mark of Athena (The Heroes of Olympus, #3)

by Rick Riordan

Maybe the evil history made it necessary to build beautiful things, to mask the darker aspects.

And of all the gods who might help them, the only ones not affected by the Greek–Roman schism seemed to be Aphrodite, Nemesis, and Dionysus. Love, revenge, wine. Very helpful.

A hero couldn’t control the gods, but he should be able to control himself.
