“Frank attrapa un des pancakes, le roula et l’entama. Il n’était pas du genre à se laisser couper l’appétit par un risque de mort imminente.”

“Bref, dit Frank, d’après mes cousins de Pylos, le dieu enchaîné qu’on doit trouver à Sparte est mon père. Enfin, Arès, pas Mars. Apparemment, les Spartiates gardaient dans leur ville une statue de lui couvert de chaînes pour que l’esprit de la guerre ne les quitte jamais.

“Annabeth se frotta les yeux en se demandant si elle rêvait toujours. – C’est une quatre fromages ?!”

– Mais non, dit Léo. Tu dois être Poissons, toi. Lion, c’est pour Léo.”

“Di Immortales!”

“The forge looked like a steam-powered locomotive had smashed into the Greek Parthenon and they had fused together.”

“Lookin up at the huge baboons, I wondered if Khufu had some sort of secret baboon code that would get us in. But instead he barked at the statues and cowered heroically behind my legs.”

“Ella was fluttering above him, dodging missiles and calling out advice: "The groin. The Earthborn's groin is sensitive."
SMASH!
"Good. Yes. Tyson found its groin.”

“She'd expected some backlash; it happened every time she shared her strength. But she hadn't anticipated so much raw anguish from Nico di Angelo… If this was only a portion of Nico’s pain… how could he bear it?”

“Sorry we’re late,” Jason said. “Is this the guy who needs killing?”

“I missed him so much I would sometimes turn to tell him something before I forgot he was gone. In spite of all that, and all the emotion boiling around inside me, all I could think of to say was: “You’re blue.”

“Grover: It’s a very sweet love story. I get misty-eyed every time I play it. So does Percy, but I think that’s because he’s laughing at me.”

“Desjardins was literally fuming. His tattered robes still smoked from battle. (Carter says I shouldn’t mention that his pink boxer shorts were showing, but they were!)”

“My sister, with her ratty red-highlighted hair and her linen pajamas and her combat boots—how could she possibly worry about being possessed by a goddess? What goddess would want her, except the goddess of chewing gum?”

“Well, yes, I call it the Expando-Duck. It's perfect if you need a small metal duck. Or a larger metal duck.”

“Happy Birthday Seaweed Brain”

“Ask me again, once we defeat Gaea.”

“It doesn't matter! From waist down, my best friend is a donkey…..”

“Glad you're back to normal. The makeup and the dress were a lot more intimidating than the dagger."

“El Paso, Texas,” Bast corrected.”

“I don't care what your nose says! The last time you smelled half-blood, it turned out to be a meatloaf sandwich!"
