Apollo, Hermes and Artemis confusion.

When Hermes is at the beach with Percy he explains that he stole from his older brother Apollo but in the place of the stolen item he gave him a lyre.

Then I saw that Apollo is Hermes's brother, so does that mean Artemis is Hermes's sister too?

Honestly I don't know HOW Rick Riordan kept up with all the gods family lineage. I mean I would think that Hermes would also be siblings with Artemis but not as close as Artemis and Apollo since their twins. Also Zeus had a lot of lady friends so Hermes and Apollo are probably half-brothers.

Apollo and Artemis are twins so by default if Hermes is Apollo's brother that has to mean that he is Artemis' sister too

[Serena]

Hermes is the son of Zeus and Maia (who is daughter of Atlas)
Apollo is the son of Zeus and Leto (daughter of the Titan god Koios/Coeus) and twin to Artemis.
Athena is daughter of Zeus.
Dionysus is a son of Zeus.
Aphrodite may be a daughter of Zeus (of Ouranos: depending on which myth) .
Hephaestus is a son of Zeus and Hera.
Ares is a son of Zeus and Hera.
Demeter, Hera, Hades, Poseidon, Hestia, Zeus are all children of Kronos and Rhea.

[Julianna]

Almost all of the children of Zeus have different mothers, but in these books they appear to refer to each other as brother/sister anyway.

All of the gods are related in some way to one another. In fact, Hera is Zeus's sister, Hephaestus and Aphrodite (according to some myths) are brother and sister... the only reason that Apollo and Artemis are actually counted as siblings, is because they're twins.

It's confusing.
