Chiron was our head trainer at camp,but he’d never shown me anything like that” (Riordan 6). Later on Percy finds out that Dr. Thorn is what …show more content…
“No. He was not. I’ve been too slow to see the signs. I must hunt this monster” (Riordan 39). Apollo then shows up and it becomes clear that he and Artemis have a uneasy relationship. Apollo offers to take Percy and the others to the Camp, including the hunters. Thalia then warns Percy that the hunters don’t have the best history at the Camp, Percy then notices that Bianca seems to be acting poorly towards Nico, and she begins to think it was a selfish act to leave her brother behind.

    In the essay “God and the Strongest Battalions,” Richard Current stated that the North won because they had so much more than the South. The North had an advantage over population; near five to two. They had more wealth, manpower, manufactured goods, agriculture, transportation, finances, and the economic stability to fight and win a war. Current stated that “If wars are won by riches, there can be no question why the North eventually prevailed” (Current 15). Current then talked about the Southern advantages. “If statistics were on the side of the North, history seemed to be on the side of the South” (Current 17). The South had the internal spirit because they were fighting for their freedom. The South had the advantage on the geographical side because of the rivers and swamps and because most of the fighting was done on their home front. The last and most important reason that Current wrote about was cotton. He talked about how the South could have used the cotton as a major advantage, but because of bad management and human errors, the South lost all of their hope of winning. Instead of making the best use of the cotton, the South stopped their planting, burned some of the bales and discouraged the foreign trade associated with it. Current then brought up the point that a new light was thrown on the question of whether the Confederacy was more handicapped by human or by material shortcomings. That question was brought up again when Current wrote more about the Confederate leader’s failures when it came to the transportation, manufacturing, and finances of the South. The North had a better economy to start with, and the South would have had to do an immense amount of work to even come close to the North’s resources. Another point that Current brought up next was that the Confederacy faced problems of politics and government along with military and naval problems. Overall, the South could not compete with the amount…

    Prometheus was one of the longest lasting Titan gods. He created the human race. He also was the only character to side with Zeus going against Cronus. He was very helpful with humans by mostly bringing them fire from Olympus, he made a man stand just as the gods did in order to make fire. Prometheus never gave up although Zeus tortured him every day, chaining him to a rock so an eagle comes to pick at his liver. He did that because Prometheus was bettering the human lives. some myths say he was rescued by Heracles. Prometheus's father was Lapetus. He had three brothers named Epimetheus, Atlas, and Menoetius.
