“L’équipage se rassembla pour une réunion improvisée sur le pont avant, principalement parce que Percy surveillait un serpent de mer géant qui évoluait entre les vagues, à bâbord.

– Si tu sautais à l’eau pour vérifier? lui lança Annabeth.
– Peut-être pas, nan.”

“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 ?!”

“Exact, répondit Cécrops avec amertume, comme s’il regrettait ses décisions. Mes sujets étaient les premiers Athéniens, les gémeaux.
– Comme ton signe astrologique? demanda Percy. Moi je suis Lion.
– Mais non, dit Léo. Tu dois être Poissons, toi. Lion, c’est pour Léo.”

“Di Immortales!”

“[Carter just asked when I became a ram whisperer. Do shut up, Carter]”

“Being productive. Ugh. It's such a human concept. It implies you have limited time (LOL) and have to work hard to make something happen (double LOL).”

Grover took his pipes from his mouth. "You are a very nice maple tree.”

“I found that things weren't going well upstairs.
Carter was a crumpled heap of chicken warrior on the slope of the pyramid.”

“You're a stalker with hooves."

“Poseidon can come in too! We will eat you both! Seafood!”

“Staplers--- Excellent source of iron”

“Americans are an odd bunch, but they grow on you.”

“If you were a god, how would you like being called a myth, an old story to explain lightning? What if I told you, Perseus Jackson, that someday people would call you a myth, just created to explain how little boys can get over losing their mothers?”

“It's just Annabeth mom jeez!”

“No man may be completely invulnerable.”

“Um, sorry. I cant read the last line."
"Fish. Have you stolen any fish from the holy lakes?"
"I lived in Kansas.. So.. no”

“It is," I said. "And it's not even difficult. But I need your promise on the River Styx." "What?" Dionysus cried. "You don't trust us?" "Someone once told me," I said, looking at Hades, "you should always get a solemn oath." Hades shrugged. "Guilty.”

“Like your zodiac sign? Percy asked. 'I'm a Leo.
'No, stupid,' Leo said. I'm a Leo. You're a Percy.”

“Zoë threw up her hands in exasperation. "I hate this language. It changes too often!”

“You can’t think your way out of your emotions.”

“Die human, DIE!! Die nasty polluting person!!!!' yelled Grover. I turned him so he faced me. He kept on clicking his plastic gun towards me as if I was part of the game.”

“Annabeth hit a slippery patch of moss and her foot slipped. Fortunately, she found something else to put it against. Unfortunately, that something was my face.”

“Just Leo’s luck. A super-hot immortal girl was waiting for him on Ogygia, but he couldn’t figure out how to wire a stupid chunk of rock into the three-thousand-year-old navigation device. Some problems even duct tape couldn’t solve.”

"THIS IS MY INSIDE VOICE!" the warrior yelled.”

“Hey Grover! Thorn's kidnapping us! He's a poisonous spike-throwing maniac! Help!”
