28	Tropes that apply to many of the minor gods.
29
30	----
31	* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: Justified, as anyone seeing them in their true forms would probably be crispy-fried in an instant.
32	* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: The Roman aspects are this InUniverse -- the Romans saw the gods differently than the Greeks did, after all.
33	* AscendedExtra: Many of the minor gods, who were just offhand mentions or nonexistent in the previous series, play large roles this time. This can double as ShownTheirWork, since many of the Roman gods ''did'' have notably different jobs and personalities than they did when they were Greek. See Ares/Mars, Athena/Minerva, and Artemis/Diana for the most extreme examples. Juno, in particular, played a larger role in Roman public and cultural life than Hera did to the Greeks. Vesta was the guardian of Rome (and keeper of the Aegis), while Hestia is almost forgotten.
34	* BerserkButton: Not knowing who they are is usually this.
35	* GodsNeedPrayerBadly: Subverted, as their strength comes not from prayer, per se, but the Western Civilization. The gods can still lose strength if their discipline is not respected (like Pan does as the wild is increasingly damaged), and it's implied that the destruction of Olympus would plunge the western world into chaos.
36	* HaveYouSeenMyGod: Olympus is closed and the gods have gone MIA per Zeus's orders in the second [[Literature/TheHeroesOfOlympus series]].
37	* HonestCorporateExecutive: Or CorruptCorporateExecutive in some cases. A lot of the gods run their disciplines like modern day businesses- Iris lets demigods send emails through rainbows.
38	* InhumanlyBeautifulRace: Unless otherwise stated, or if the narration says they cross into UncannyValley despite their beauty, you can expect a god's preferred form will be extremely easy on the eyes.
39	* JerkassGods: Most of the gods at one point or another. Even the most sympathetically portrayed have their moments. A few, like Iris and Thanatos, are exceptions, however.
40	* JerkassWoobie: A lot of the minor gods' problems, and a major reason why many of them ally with the Olympians' enemies, are because they are, well, minor. They have been enduring a low form racism for millennia, never being able to claim the glory the Twelve Olympians have. Until ''The Last Olympian'', they don't even have sanctuaries in Camp Half-Blood, forcing all of their children to herd together within the Hermes cabin as basically squatters. A major {{Aesop}} of the series is for the main characters, who are mostly children of the Twelve Olympians, to take plight and give them more respect and help their cause, as their divine parents are too arrogant to do anything with the situation.
41	* MayflyDecemberRomance: With any demigod's mortal parent.
42	* ParentalAbandonment: Many are guilty of it.
43	* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: All are from ancient Greece or Rome.
44	* SplitPersonality: Between their Greek and Roman sides, although how bad it is tends to vary -- some of the major gods are so incapacitated they have to lay low in order to not inconvenience the world. Other gods, such as Nemesis, are hardly affected because of their "universal" domains.
45	* VoluntaryShapeshifting: All of them can change their appearance at will, and hence have "preferred" forms.
46	* YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm: Gods take different shapes due to the fact that their true forms will incinerate anyone who sees them as such.

49	!!Minor Gods
50
51	[[folder:Asclepius]]
52	God of healers. Son of Apollo. Currently under lock and key beneath his temple, by order of Zeus himself.
53	----
54	* BackFromTheDead: His specialty, and the reason he's locked away under his temple.
55	* DressedToHeal: Your standard white coat and stethoscope.
56	* HealingSerpent: The TropeCodifier himself Asclepius shows up along with his staff and snake, a green python named Spike, and true to the trope, Asclepius behaves like one would expect him to, a doctor. He quickly diagnoses Jason with shortsightedness and gives him a pair of glasses, tells Piper to ice her shoulder and provides them with the [[BackFromTheDead Physician's Cure]], which was made with the help of Spike.
57	%%* LabcoatOfScienceAndMedicine
58	* NiceGuy: The narration makes a point of mentioning that he's probably the only god that the crew has run into who was nothing but helpful and courteous, even making [[spoiler:the physician's cure]] for the crew of the ''Argo II'' when they came to him, no strings attached.
59	* SealedGoodInACan: He's entirely benevolent, but his ability to raise the dead enraged Hades enough that Zeus killed him. He was brought back as a god of medicine to appease Apollo, on the condition that he not perform any resurrections, and he's guarded by a KillerRobot modeled after his daughter Hygeia.
60	* SuperDoc: Comes with the territory of being the god of healers.
61	* TryToFitThatOnABusinessCard: If it's a medical skill that can be expressed as a string of letters, he's got it after his name. Leo loses count after twenty such acronyms. Some of the acronyms aren't even medically-related.
62	[[/folder]]
63
64	[[folder:Britomartis]]
65	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/britomartis.jpg]]
66	Goddess of nets- specifically hunting and fishing nets, though she can create some pretty nifty stuff with that (the internet is not under her domain). One of Artemis' attendants, and the patron of the Waystation.
67	----
68	* TheBeastmaster: She breeds [[OurGryphonsAreDifferent powerful, beautiful and semi-domesticated hunting griffons]].
69	* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: She's in charge of nets for hunting and fishing only. Just like in the source material, she can make some pretty elaborate nets -- apparently, bear traps and booby traps qualify by extension.
70	* ItsAllAboutMe: She is literally the example that makes Apollo realize that this behavior is unattractive to others.
71	* ThePrankster: Loves teasing Apollo and tricking him into traps. He keeps falling for it because she keeps flirting with him (well, she flirts back) and offering to set him up on dates.
72	* TrapMaster: She especially seems to love setting-up bear traps and the like inside of sofa cushions. Apollo takes to having Leo make sure the furniture doesn't have any "surprises" waiting before sitting (or flopping) down.
73	[[/folder]]
74
75	[[folder:Eros/Cupid]]
76	Son of Aphrodite/Venus and god of love. To date, only his Roman form has been seen.
77	----
78	* AdaptationalBadass: This version of Cupid isn't the cherubic winged baby that is normally portrayed. This guy gives Nico and Jason a run for their money [[spoiler:and manages to drag out Nico's suppressed feelings about Percy.]]
79	* CombatPragmatist: Fights Jason and Nico while invisible. As he himself has said, love isn't fair and doesn't fight fair either.
80	* CruelToBeKind: [[spoiler:After forcing Nico out of the closet, Cupid drops his harshness and admits with an air of sympathy that love often hurts, before giving him the scepter. He went about it brutally, but he seems to just want to help him finally be honest with himself.]]
81	* HappilyMarried: To Psyche, as per mythos.
82	* LoveFreak: Though in a different sense than Aphrodite. Cupid embodies the less romanticized and deeper meaning of love: [[DidNotGetTheGirl The willingness to give up and sacrifice]] [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy for that which you love]], and the fact that [[LoveHurts it's just as capable of making you sad as it can happy]].
83	* LoveGod: Though this Cupid [[AdaptationalBadass isn't some love-struck pansy...]]
84	* LoveHurts: As the personification of love, he seems to take a dry delight in this trope. That said, he seems to have sympathy for those who are willing to face that it hurts [[spoiler:like Nico finally coming clean with his repressed feelings for Percy]].
85	-->'''Jason:''' Is this guy Love or Death?\
86	'''Cupid:''' Ask your friends. Frank, Hazel, and Percy met my counterpart, Thanatos. We are not so different. Except Death is sometimes kinder.
87	* PrettyBoy: Jason notes that Eros is beautiful and harsh, like it's difficult to look directly at him.
88	* RedEyesTakeWarning: His eyes are blood-red, as if every Valentine was melted down.
89	* SeriousBusiness: He takes love as a concept ''very'' seriously.
90	--> '''Cupid:''' Love is no game! It is no flowery softness! It is hard work -- a quest that never ends.
91	* SmallRoleBigImpact: He only shows up in one chapter, but what he does ''in'' that chapter ([[spoiler:forcing Nico to confess he had a crush on Percy in order to defeat him]]) affects Nico's personality and his interactions with Jason throughout the rest of the book.
92	* TrueNeutral: In-universe, self-proclaimed example.
93	--> '''Cupid:''' Love is on every side. And no one's side. Don't ask what love can do for you.
94	* WingedHumanoid: His preferred form has a pair of wings.
95	[[/folder]]
96
97	[[folder:Ganymede]]
98	The cupbearer of the gods and one of Zeus' lovers. He was once mortal, but was turned into a god so he can serve Zeus in Olympus.
99	----
100	* DeityOfHumanOrigin: Much like Dionysus and Heracles, he was a mortal turned a god.
101	* GoldDigger: The rest of the Olympians call him a gold digger because they think he is mooching off the riches of Olympus by becoming Zeus' lover.
102	* GreekFire: When he is forced to attend to the Olympians' brunch without the chalice, he is such a nervous wreck that he begins sweating Greek Fire.
103	* AMatchMadeInStockholm: Subverted. Percy is unsympathetic to him at first because he seems to be enjoying his job as cupbearer, even though he was essentially kidnapped and raped by Zeus. However, he soon realizes that Ganymede is probably suffering about his situation deep down.
104	* PrettyBoy: Zeus fell for him because of his good looks.
105	[[/folder]]
106
107	[[folder:Geras/Senectus]]
108	God of old age, one of Nyx's many children.
109	----
110	* ElderlyImmortal: As a god of old age, Geras was born old-looking and will stay that way for eternity. Percy guesses that it unnerves the rest of the Olympians, since his looks remind them so much of their long life.
111	* ForgottenFirstMeeting: Percy and Annabeth first encounter Geras during their journey through Tartarus in ''The House of Hades'', but neither seem to recall this upon meeting him again in ''The Chalice of the Gods''.
112	* TheFriendNobodyLikes: The rest of the gods either hate or fear him, because he represents what they should have been if not for their godly powers: frail and ugly.
113	* TheProblemWithFightingDeath: He has ''never'' been defeated by mortals; the closest was Hercules wrestling him to a draw. Because every mortal will get old, and there is no escaping that.
114	* TimeStandsStill: He can slow down time to a standstill, which has been compared to Kronos' ability.
115	* WeAllDieSomeday: Percy realizes that the only thing that will sway Geras is to come around to his way of thinking: embracing old age and coming to peace with its inevitability.
116	[[/folder]]
117
118	[[folder:Harpocrates]]
119	Originally an Egyptian deity and a protector of children, later reimagined by the Greeks as a god of secrets.
120	----
121	* CessationOfExistence: [[spoiler:This is how he goes out, having willed himself to fade into Chaos.]]
122	* ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve: His conception as a deity was the Greeks mistaking the Egyptian symbol for youth they saw on a statue of Horus for a hushing gesture. When Meg doubts this, Apollo states the power of belief from thousands of people should not be underestimated.
123	* FingerMuzzle: He is stuck in this position, due to all his statues showing him as such. It's also the reason he was reimagined. The Egyptians use it as an indication of youth and childhood; the Greeks thought it was a hushing gesture, hence reimagining the deity as a god of secrets and silence.
124	* HeroicSuicide: [[spoiler:Along with the Cumaean Sibyl, he willingly [[CessationOfExistence fades]] so his final breath can be used for the ritual to summon divine help.]]
125	* MindRape: Communicates with telepathic blasts, due to his aura of silence.
126	* SilentAntagonist: Justified, since he's literally the god of silence. He also generates a bubble of absolute soundlessness around himself. The Triumvirate use magic to amplify this effect to block demigods' communications.
127	[[/folder]]
128
129	[[folder:Hebe/Juventas]]
130	Goddess of youth. Her cabin in Camp Half-Blood is Cabin 18.
131	----
132	* DisproportionateRetribution: She turns Percy, Annabeth, and Grover into kids because they dare to question her if she had stolen Ganymede's chalice.
133	* FountainOfYouth: She runs a club in Times Square where boomers and millennials alike can experience being young again.
134	* OlderThanTheyLook: While being young-looking for their age is a given for gods, Hebe goes further by ''always'' having to be the youngest-looking being in the room. This comes back to bite her when Annabeth baits her to see a chick, causing her to deage into an infant.
135	[[/folder]]
136
137	[[folder:Hecate/Trivia]]
138	Goddess of magic and crossroads, though she openly admits to actually being a Titan. Her cabin in Camp Half-Blood is Cabin 20.
139	----
140	* AscendedExtra: Only gets a few mentions in [[Literature/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians the previous series]], but plays an important role in ''Son of Magic'' and ''The House of Hades''.
141	* AtTheCrossroads: Hecate is the goddess of crossroads, and as such can predict possible outcomes each choice will lead into. [[spoiler:In ''The House of Hades'', she shows Hazel three possible outcomes their crew could end up with given their precarious situation, and none of them are pretty.]]
142	* CanineCompanion: Apparently, she turned Hecuba, the former Queen of Troy, into a Labrador.
143	* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Born a Titan and served the Olympians in the first war, but is remembered for her stint on the Titan's side in the previous series (although this was pretty justified given how the gods treated her). She's now back on the gods' side, although to what extent is ambiguous.
144	* JediMindTrick: Notable for being the best Mist manipulator the series has seen so far, due to it being part of her powers.
145	%%* LadyOfBlackMagic: UrExample.
146	* LooksLikeCesare: Beautiful, but deathly pale. Hazel compares her to a dead body.
147	* MagicIsFeminine: Hecate is the Greek goddess of magic and the maintainer of the [[PerceptionFilter Mist]] that keeps mortals from discovering TheMasquerade. She trains Hazel (one of three girls on the team) in how to use magic and manipulate the Mist to her own ends.
148	* MatchstickWeapon: Her two torches. She used them in the original Giant War to kill Clytius. She uses them to kill Clytius again in ''House of Hades''.
149	* NeutralFemale: In ''Son of Magic'' (a short story in the Demigod Diaries), she stays out of Alabaster's fight against Lamia, and only intervenes [[spoiler:when he's about to trap Lamia in her own sand]]. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]]; she's a god and both Alabaster and Lamia are her children, so she can't play favorites.
150	* UhOhEyes: Hazel describes them as [[BlackEyesOfEvil black]] and creepy; although Hecate asserts that she isn't ''evil'', magic, her domain, is merely a tool.
151	* YouRemindMeOfX: Tells Hazel that she's a lot like her mother.
152	[[/folder]]
153
154	[[folder:Heracles/Hercules]]
155	Child of Zeus who ascended to Godhood as a minor god who guards the doors of Olympus. Previous owner of Percy's CoolSword.
156	----
157	* BerserkButton: The very mention of Hera will piss him off. [[spoiler:He was nice and friendly to his half-brother Jason, hating to give hard quests since he was once a demigod...right up until he mentioned Hera's name. Then he gave them a really hard one and threatened to kill everyone on the Argo II.]]
158	* BrokenPedestal: Heracles was Percy Jackson's favorite hero, mostly because he admired how he had rotten luck in his old demigod life, much like his. But then he learns from [[spoiler:Zoe Nightshade that he convinced her to betray her family and [[UngratefulBastard instead of thanking her for helping him, he stole credit for everything she did and left her to face the wrath of the Hesperides and her father, Atlas]].]] This causes Percy to lose some respect for his favorite hero.
159	* CoolSword: He owned Riptide before Percy.
160	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Hercules is usually more benevolent towards demigods than most other gods since he knows first hand what a pain it is to constantly go on quests, slay monsters, and put up with the other Olympians. The jerk part comes out with anything involving Hera since she tormented him all his mortal life and upon death he was sent to an island with nothing to do but reflect on his past...which he can never forget.
161	* KickTheDog: He once used a river to wash out the horse poop from Geryon's stables, causing the naiad who lived in it to be sick for years. She's still bitter about it.
162	* RevengeBeforeReason: He absolutely ''refuses'' to do anything that could possibly benefit Hera in any way. This is pretty justified, considering all the hell she put him through in his lifetime.
163	* SuperStrength: His most famous trait.
164	* WalkingShirtlessScene: Played for laughs; in the past he was apparently naked so much that the dwarves who stole from him called him "Black Bottom."
165	* WhoWantsToLiveForever: He laments that eternal life only means that he'll never forget his pain.
166	[[/folder]]
167
168	[[folder:Hypnos/Somnus]]
169	The god of sleep, one of Nyx's many children. His cabin in Camp-Half Blood is Cabin 15.
170	----
171	* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: He secretly hates his mother for always ordering him around, which is why he sets her mansion on fire to help Nico, Will, Iapetus, and Small Bob escape her.
172	[[/folder]]
173
174	[[folder:Iris/Arcus]]
175	The goddess of rainbows and a messenger goddess. She used to run the Iris Messaging service, but has turned over most of it to her assistant Fleecy to focus on running her store and developing an identity of her own. Only Iris has been seen, with no mention of Arcus even existing. Her cabin in Camp Half-Blood is Cabin 14.
176	----
177	* AscendedExtra: Doesn't make an actual appearance in the [[Literature/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians first series]], but gets a supporting role in ''Son of Neptune''.
178	* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: Enemy forces are surrounding her store, the giant Polybotes leading them. She throws a ding-dong at him.
179	* EverythingsBetterWithRainbows: As the goddess of rainbows, she's cheery and perky.
180	* GranolaGirl: She is trying to find her own identity and currently working with an environmentalist-hippie outlook which is what her store represents.
181	* NiceGirl:
182	** Unlike virtually every other god or goddess, she lacks the arrogance, personality quirks or JerkAss qualities that make dealing with the other ones such a pain. She is helpful without having to dance through flaming hoops.
183	** A bit less so in her second appearance in ''The Chalice of the Gods''; while she is still largely friendly and ultimately helps the heroes out, she does make Percy undergo a somewhat-dangerous quest for her in exchange for her aid on the quest he was ''already'' undertaking (and when he succeeds, her happiness is directed more at her symbol of office that Percy cleaned and less at Percy for actually cleaning it). Percy even observes when on the way to meet with her that even the nicer gods can be fickle, and having had ''one'' relatively positive interaction is no guarantee for the future.
184	[[/folder]]
185
186	[[folder:Janus]]
187	Roman god of choices. For related tropes, see [[Characters/TheCampHalfBloodSeriesForcesOfKronos here]].
188	[[/folder]]
189
190	[[folder:Keto]]
191	Goddess of sea monsters. For related tropes, see [[Characters/TheCampHalfBloodSeriesForcesOfKronos here]].

193
194	[[folder:Khione]]
195	Goddess of snow. For related tropes, see [[Characters/TheCampHalfBloodSeriesForcesOfGaia here]].
196	[[/folder]]
197
198	[[folder:Kymopoleia]]
199	Goddess of sea storms. A daughter of Poseidon, and Percy's half-sister. Currently working for Gaia to get revenge on her parents and the mortals who have long since forgotten her. She has no Roman identity.
200	----
201	* AttentionWhore: Joined Gaia to make the world remember her again.
202	* CainAndAbel: [[RunningGag She joins the list of Percy's siblings who have tried to kill him]].
203	* DudeWheresMyRespect: Despite being an incredibly powerful goddess, she despairs over not getting the recognition she deserves.
204	* HeelFaceTurn: Jason wins her over by promising to erect shrines to her and the other minor gods at the Greek and Roman camps.
205	* InUniverseNickname: Jason and Percy just call her "Kym."
206	* TheMentor: She's the one who reveals to Jason and Percy how to defeat Gaia [[spoiler:by reminding them of how Ouranos, a fellow primordial god and First Lord of the Sky, was ultimately defeated]]. She also warns Percy of his FatalFlaw once again.
207	* UnderwaterRuins: She makes her lair in the abandoned wreckage of her father's old palace.
208	* TheUnFavourite: Her parents keep her away because they find her presence and powers disruptive.
209	* UnwantedSpouse: She was married off to Briares, whom she loathes. Granted, it's not for his personality, as Briares is a NiceGuy overall, but more for the fact the marriage was forced on her.
210	[[/folder]]
211
212	[[folder:Melinoe]]
213	Goddess of ghosts. For related tropes, see [[Characters/TheCampHalfBloodSeriesForcesOfKronos here]].
214	[[/folder]]
215
216	[[folder:Morpheus/Somnia]]
217	God of dreams. For related tropes, see [[Characters/TheCampHalfBloodSeriesForcesOfKronos here]].
218	[[/folder]]
219
220	[[folder:Nemesis]]
221	Goddess of Revenge. Her cabin in Camp Half-Blood is Cabin 19.
222	----
223	* BerserkButton: She believes in fair justice and really hates it when it is not honored. In ''The Sun and the Star'', she tears Nyx a new one for continuing to hunt Nico and Will, because it is only done to satisfy her ego.
224	* DeathByIrony: A fan of inflicting it. Ask Narcissus... as soon as he stops looking into his mirror.
225	* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: After getting sick of her marching orders to hunt Nico and Will, Nemesis lectures Nyx that she will never help her again to achieve such a petty vendetta. While Nemesis is a goddess, Nyx is a protogenia, one of the oldest and most powerful beings in existence, whom Zeus himself fears, not to mention her own mother. It ''works''.
226	* EmpathicShapeshifter: She takes the form of those others want revenge on. Leo sees his Aunt that called him a Devil Child for causing her sister's death. Hazel sees her as a long dead SternTeacher.
227	* EquivalentExchange: In the original series, she took Ethan's eye to influence Camp Half-Blood's victory. In ''Mark of Athena'', she offers the same for Leo, a heavy price for her help should he need it. [[spoiler:Leo uses her offer to save Hazel and Frank's lives... which comes at the cost of trapping Percy and Annabeth in Tartarus.]]
228	* ScalesOfJustice: One of her symbols. [[spoiler:Her son Ethan is buried with them embroidered on his shroud.]]
229	* SplitPersonality: [[AvertedTrope Averted]]. Revenge is universal, and her name remains the same[[note]](She may be equated with Invidia, though)[[/note]] whether Greek or Roman, rendering her immune to the debilitating effects of the war.
230	* WindsOfDestinyChange: Nemesis tears down those who have too much good luck, and raises up those who have too much bad luck.
231	* YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm: To any individual person, she looks like a specific person that they want revenge against.
232	[[/folder]]
233
234	[[folder:Nike/Victoria]]
235	Goddess of victory and charioteer to Zeus. Her cabin in Camp Half-Blood is Cabin 17.
236	----
237	* BoundAndGagged: After being successfully subdued by the Seven she's tied up and kept in the ''Argo II''. The fact that her "gag" is a dirty sock and duct tape is given much emphasis.
238	* CompetitionFreak: Obsessed with victory in all its forms, which makes her case of the divine schizophrenia much harder to handle as she's so desperate to pick a winner between her two sides that she's much more volatile as a result. According to Percy and Annabeth, this is a trait she shares with her children.
239	* RockMonster: Her minions, the Nikai (or "Nikettes" as Leo christens them), are metal women.
240	* WingedHumanoid: Her preferred form has two large golden wings.
241	[[/folder]]
242
243	[[folder:Pan/Faunus]]
244	The lost god of the wild, believed to have been dead for two thousand years.
245	----
246	* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Gaia, introduced in the ''Heroes of Olympus'' series, holds sway over domain similar to his but with much more power.
247	* DeathSeeker: [[spoiler:Wanted to fade because of the decline in the wild places of the earth, and let the world believe he was dead so he would fade faster, but [[GodsNeedPrayerBadly since the satyrs believed in him]], he couldn't fade yet.]]
248	* FriendToAllLivingThings: As per his role of god of the wild.
249	* GodIsDead: Claimed many centuries ago, though the satyrs don't believe it. [[spoiler:Becomes true as of ''Battle of the Labyrinth''.]]
250	* GreenThumb: Nature is part of his domain.
251	* HesJustHiding: In-universe, Grover does not believe Pan dead and his main motivation throughout the series is to gain a Seeker's license so he can find Pan.
252	* MagicMusic: Music played on his reed pipes can make plants grow.
253	* PassingTheTorch: [[spoiler:He passes his role on to every mortal, satyr, and nature spirit in the world.]]
254	* SmallRoleBigImpact: He only has one short appearance but his mere existence has driven the satyrs for centuries and Grover personally for all previous books.

257	[[folder:Persephone/Proserpine]]
258	!!!'''Played by:''' Creator/RosarioDawson
259	[[quoteright:266:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/persephone_apringtime.jpg]]
260	Goddess of springtime, Demeter's daughter, and Queen of the Underworld. Married to Hades.
261	----
262	* BigEater: At least according to Apollo's rather gossipy internal monologue:
263	-->'''Apollo:''' You'll hear stories about the goddess of springtime being all sweetness and daffodils and nibbling on pomegranate seeds, but I'm telling you, that girl was frightening when she attacked a mound of pork spareribs.
264	* ChildByRape: She was conceived when Zeus cornered her mother and forced her to have sex.
265	* ClingyJealousGirl: A milder example than Hera, but she doesn't like it when Maria di Angelo is brought up. [[note]]Actually a carry-over from the original mythology, where she turns Hades's ex-mistress into a [[JustSoStory the first mint plant]].[[/note]]
266	* DishingOutDirt: Splits open the earth in ''The Demigod Files''.
267	* EtherealWhiteDress: The otherworldy, deathly aspect. While in the Underworld and Hades's queen; she wears a washed-out white dress. When she's out of it, her attire is very colorful.
268	* GoodStepmother: As noted below, she was initially a WickedStepmother but by ''The Sun and The Star'' she not only admits to Will that she didn't treat Nico right but goes out of her way to give Will advice about Nico and how to make their relationship work, showing a surprising amount of insight and understanding for her stepson. She even let Will keep the pomegranates they stole.
269	* GreenThumb: She double teams with her mother to attack the Titans' army with wheat and flowers.
270	* HappilyMarried: To Hades, more or less. [[note]]Actually a carry-over from the original mythology, most stories mention that she preferred Hades over Demeter.[[/note]] Certainly so by Greek standards.
271	* LadyMacbeth: Goes behind Hades' back to try and ensure he's just as powerful as Zeus and Poseidon. One of the reasons Nico decides to spend more time in the Underworld is so that he can counteract Persephone's influence.
272	* NoodleIncident: In ''The Demigod Files'':
273	-->'''Persephone:''' We just had a little family spat.\
274	'''Nico:''' ''Family spat''? You turned me into a dandelion!
275	* RaceLift: Implicitly white in the books; AmbiguouslyBrown in the films.
276	* RavenHairIvorySkin: Described as such during her time in the Underworld.
277	* WickedStepmother: To Nico with whom she has a very strained relationship. She apparently turned him into a dandelion at one point. She's moved past this by ''The Sun and The Star'' however.

293	The god of death.
294	----
295	* CompellingVoice: His voice is deep and sonorous.
296	* DarkIsNotEvil: He's the God of Death with large black wings but pretty chill and reasonable. He's not malicious, death is just his job.
297	* DistressedDude: In ''Son of Neptune'', the whole point of Percy, Hazel, and Frank's quest is to rescue him from Alcyoneus.
298	* DontFearTheReaper: Not particularly gentle and a ScaryBlackMan with some shades of TheStoic, but obviously not malicious or cruel. Indeed, he's really quite polite to the demigods.
299	* GoodIsNotSoft: He's on the side of the gods, but he ''is'' Death.
300	* GoodWingsEvilWings: Has a pair of black angel wings, specifically.
301	* TheGrimReaper: As the god of death, this is essentially his job.
302	* LiteralMinded: When Hazel implores him to help the demigods fight an army of undead spirits, he replies that he is, by ensuring that the spirits they slay will remain dead. When she thanks him sarcastically, he replies with, "You're welcome."
303	* NumberTwo: Lieutenant of Pluto (Hades). Thanatos acts as border control to keep souls from crossing between life and death without his permission.
304	* PrettyBoy: Hazel calls him the prettiest man she's ever seen.
305	* ProductPlacement: Uses an iPad to keep track of the dead.
306	* ScaryBlackMan: Somewhat, although he's just doing his job.

319
320	!!The Titans
321	'''Note:''' Since an exact definition is very hazy, only the first and second generations of Titans are listed here (aside from the Olympians).
322
323	[[folder:In general]]
324	A series of deities who preceded the Olympians as rulers of the universe. The eldest of the [[Characters/ClassicalMythologyTitans Titans]] are children of Gaea, the primordial goddess of the earth, and Ouranos, the primordial god of the sky. Their domination ended when the Olympians overthrew their king, Kronos, and exiled him to Tartarus. The majority of the male Titans supported Kronos and were therefore exiled with him, while others supported the Olympians or remained neutral and as a result were allowed to live as minor gods. Other than the Olympians, many other gods have some amount of Titan ancestry.
325	----
326	* AscendedExtra: Several of the titans shown are hardly even known to the public.
327	* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: Justified, as anyone seeing them in their true forms would probably be crispy-fried in an instant.
328	* GodNeedsPrayerBadly: It's brought up several times that Helios and Selene, Titans of the Sun and Moon, faded away entirely after the Romans reassigned their domains to Apollo and Artemis.
329	* InhumanlyBeautifulRace: Unless otherwise stated or if the narration says they cross into UncannyValley despite their beauty, you can expect a titan's preferred form will be extremely easy on the eyes.
330	* JerkassGods: Just like most of the gods, only in most cases, worse.
331	* MayflyDecemberRomance: Any that have any demigod's are this with the mortal parents.
332	* TheOlderImmortal: They are older than the Olympians, but younger than the primordial gods. The eldest four of the Olympians (Zeus, Poseidon, Hera, Demeter), plus Hestia and Hades, are children of two Titans, Kronos and Rhea.
333	* OurTitansAreDifferent: Not too different from the Gods themselves, but older and often larger.
334	* SadlyMythtaken: The common mistake of treating the Titans as a separate race entirely from the gods rather than simply a group of gods (in spite of retaining the familial connections).
335	* VoluntaryShapeshifting: All of them can change their appearance at will, and hence have "preferred" forms.
336	* YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm: Titans take different shapes due to the fact that their true forms will incinerate anyone who sees them as such.
337	[[/folder]]
338	----
339
340	[[folder:Atlas]]
341	The Titan son of Iapetus who was forced to carry the heavens on his back. He is the father of Calypso and the Hesperides, including Zoë Nightshade. His tropes can be found [[Characters/TheCampHalfBloodSeriesForcesOfKronos here]].
342	[[/folder]]
343
344	[[folder:Helios/Sol]]
345	The Titan of the Sun and the son of Hyperion. He is the father of Circe and Pasiphae and the grandfather of Medea. He had faded millennia ago, with Apollo succeeding him as the master of the Sun.
346	----
347	* CessationOfExistence: Gods who fade away will return to the Chaos AKA nothingness. ''The Burning Maze'', however, reveals that Helios manages to tether his will on Earth due to pure hatred. [[spoiler:Once Medea is killed, Apollo manages to convince him to move on.]]
348	* ChekhovsGunman: Already has mentions since the first series, he becomes an important figure in ''The Burning Maze''.
349	* EvilIsBurningHot: While Helios is not really evil, his fire is described to be white-hot, pure, and merciless. [[spoiler:His powers are also used by Medea, who is certainly evil.]]
350	* GreenEyedMonster: He resents Apollo for taking his place and dooming him into a life as a shadowy figure. [[spoiler:Or so it seems. In actuality, he became a shadowy figure because Medea restrained him from dissolving into Chaos]].
351	* ThePowerOfHate: It's explicitly mentioned that he is able to escape succumbing to the Chaos due his extreme hatred of Apollo. [[spoiler:Or rather, Medea.]]
352	* ThePowerOfTheSun: It's in his name. Apollo describes that while he is merely a god who dabbles in the Sun, Helios personifies the Sun itself. While Apollo can limit himself to only show the Sun's good side (warmth, life-giver), Helios embodies everything about it, including its dark side (distance and resentment).
353	* UsedToBeASweetKid: Before he ceased to exist, anyway. Apollo implies that he was an all-around good guy, being one of the few male Titans who sided with the Olympians during the Titanomachy. Now, he is so much filled with anger that the first thing he says to Apollo when the two meet after his cessation is [[spoiler:to kill his granddaughter.]]
354	* WalkingWasteland: When Medea moves her grandfather's essence to the Labyrinth below Southern California, the area slowly turns into {{Mordor}}.

377	[[folder:Leto]]
378	The Titaness daughter of Koios. One of Zeus' many lovers, with whom she had Apollo and Artemis.
379	----
380	* DisposableWoman: Koios implies that Zeus cast her out as soon as she gave birth to the twins. For some reason, she is in Tartarus as of ''The House of Hades'', though she eventually does manage to get out.
381	* GoodParents: Compared to [[AbusiveParents Zeus]], Apollo remembers her fondly.
382	[[/folder]]
383
384	[[folder:Metis]]
385	An Oceanid and the Titaness of deep thought. She was a lover of Zeus, with whom she had Athena.
386	----
387	* PsychicStatic: Zeus first married her, Titan of deep thought... and then swallowed her because he feared their children would overthrow him. Metis eventually dissolved into pure, occasionally annoying thoughts in Zeus' mind.
388	[[/folder]]
389
390	[[folder:Mnemosyne]]
391	The Titaness of memory.
392	----
393	* PhotographicMemory: She remembers ''everything''.

400	[[folder:Phoebe]]
401	The Titaness of foresight, wife of Koios, and grandmother of Apollo and Artemis.
402	----
403	* FortuneTeller: Percy describes her rather like one.

405	[[/folder]]
406
407	[[folder:Prometheus]]
408	The Titan son of Iapetus who can predict the future. His tropes can be found [[Characters/TheCampHalfBloodSeriesForcesOfKronos here]].

413	The Mother Goddess, Rhea is the Titaness wife of Kronos and the mother of the elder four of the Olympians: Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, and Demeter, plus Hades and Hestia. She presides over motherhood as well as an oracle.
414	----
415	* AnachronismStew: More so than most of the other gods, Rhea seems to confuse different time periods, insisting Music/JimiHendrix attended the Seneca Falls convention with her.
416	* AscendedExtra: Rhea is mentioned as far back as the first book of the first series, ''The Lightning Thief'', though it was during an insult battle between Zeus and Poseidon. She gains far, far more prominence in ''The Hidden Oracle''.
417	* BeingGoodSucks: In ''Greek Gods'', Percy uses language similar to describing his own mother, in that Rhea had the nicest and sweetest personality of out of the Titans, which meant she got the worst luck, such as having Kronos fall for her and having him swallow her children.
418	* HotGod: Percy describes her as this.
419	* NewAgeRetroHippie: Rhea's vernacular and fashion take cues from hippies, highlighting her rejection of Titan culture.
420	-->'''Rhea:''' The Man, man. Big Brother. The suits. The imperators.
421	* SophisticatedAsHell: Rhea's ominous warnings about the rise of the Triumvirate is mixed in casual slang from TheSixties.
422	* TimeAbyss: Rhea's creation, the Groves of Dodona, was ancient even before the birth of Olympus, and she was alive even before that.
423	* VerbalTic: She punctuates many of her sentences with "Man", man.
424	[[/folder]]
425
426	[[folder:Tethys]]
427	The Titaness of rivers and wife of Oceanus, with whom she had the Oceanids.
428	----
429	* BirdsOfAFeather: She (rivers and streams) marries Oceanus (the ocean). "Hey, you like water? I like water too! We should totally go out!"
430	* HappilyMarried: Her marriage to Oceanus. Hera tried to model her own marriage with Zeus after it, with considerably less success.
431	[[/folder]]
432
433	[[folder:Theia]]
434	The Titan of gems and jewels, wife of Hyperion, and mother of Helios.
435	----
436	* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Percy thinks this is why she married Hyperion.
437	* TheDitz: Theia is... not too bright. Which is ironic, considering she is the Titan of bright and shiny things.
438	[[/folder]]
439
440	!!Anemoi
441	[[folder:Aeolus]]
442	King of the winds, weatherman of Olympus.
443	----
444	* AscendedExtra: Was mentioned in ''The Last Olympian'' as the one defending the skies of Olympus.
445	* BewareTheSillyOnes: He's clearly missing quite a few screws, but that doesn't make him any less dangerous when push comes to shove.
446	* BlowYouAway: He's the most powerful wind god, and as such has domain over winds.
447	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Being the weatherman of Olympus 24 hours a day will do that to you.
448	%%PointyHairedBoss
449	* UncannyValleyMakeup: He was described by Jason as a microwaved Ken doll.
450	%%* UnwittingPawn: To [[spoiler:Khione]].
451	[[/folder]]
452
453	[[folder:Boreas/Aquilon]]
454	The North Wind.
455	----
456	* AffablyEvil: Definitely not the most antagonistic of the gods, but there's a clear undercurrent of cruel excitement in his discourse with Piper and Jason.
457	* ArchEnemy: To Notus.
458	* BackForTheFinale: [[spoiler:Per tradition, appears as one of the winds pulling Zeus's chariot in the finale.]]
459	* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:Between appearances, Khione seems to have turned him to Gaia's side. Though this could just be her manipulating his fragile state of mind and body, as he's back on the gods' side by the finale.]]
460	%%* FrenchJerk: Of the French-Canadian variety, actually.
461	* AnIcePerson: Because he lives in Canada, he is far colder.

473	----
474	* ArchEnemy: To Boreas.
475	* BackForTheFinale: [[spoiler:Cameos while pulling Zeus's chariot in ''The Blood of Olympus''.]]
476	* BrickJoke: During Boreas' rant about Notus in the first book, he makes an offhand mention of his holiday retreat in Cancún. When Notus makes his appearance in ''The House of Hades'', he too says that he has a lovely place in Cancún during the off-season.
477	%%[[ChekhovsGunman Chekhov's Gunman]]
478	* EmpathicShapeshifter: While talking with Jason, his form switches repeatedly between his two identities, mirroring [[spoiler:[[TwoRoadsBeforeYou Jason's confusion about whether he belongs with the Greeks or the Romans]]. When he throws his lot in with the Greeks, Notus's form solidifies for good.]]
479	%%* HotBlooded: Notus.
480	* TwoRoadsBeforeYou: Auster hates indecisiveness, and insists that he won't help Jason until he decides [[spoiler:between Greek or Roman]].
481	* RedOniBlueOni: The Greek and Roman facets of his identity, respectively. Notus is thunderous and ill-tempered, whereas Auster is sluggish and lazy.
482	* SmallRoleBigImpact: At least as far as Jason is concerned, he's the one who solidifies Jason's decision to [[spoiler:go Greek]].
483	[[/folder]]
484
485	[[folder:Zephyros/Favionus]]
486	The West Wind, a servant of Cupid.
487	----
488	* BackForTheFinale: [[spoiler:Pulls Zeus's chariot in ''The Blood of Olympus''.]]
489	* CrazyJealousGuy: Murdered the guy he was in love with out of jealousy.
490	* IfICantHaveYou: Was in love with [[PrettyBoy Hyacinthus]] and was jealous of the god Apollo's closeness to him, so when Apollo and Hyacinthus were playing a game, Zephyros arranged for the disc to strike Hyacinthus. He doesn't seem too hung up about it, though.
491	* MysteriousStranger: With a bit of TheWatcher, he says that he's been watching Nico for years, knowing that one day he'd have to return to Split and face Cupid.
492	* WingedHumanoid: His preferred form has two large wings.
493	* {{Yandere}}: He murdered his crush because the crush was in a relationship with Apollo.

499	----
500	* AbhorrentAdmirer: Seems to have been one for Deianara. It's never occurred to him that she didn't want to marry a bull with a human head who lives in a river.
501	* AntiVillain: Tries to drown Jason and Piper, but is really kind of pitiable and, to be fair, they were trying to take his other horn.
