“Can’t. Swore on the River Styx when I was created. Gods aren’t allowed to physically help heroes on quests. And believe me, the Styx is not one to cross.” “So you’re out,” Pop says flatly. “But don’t gods give gifts to heroes sometimes?” Hakeem asks. “Aye,” Hermes says, flashing a smile that’s frankly illegal.

He had no idea, but he found himself saying, "I can fight." She nodded, finally looking away from him. "Good." They all began talking as soon as she turned away from him, Leonidas learning their names in quick succession. Hercules, he was a Zeus Familia and from the way he spoke, a High Family. The girl on him, Aellai, Artemis, he was not sure what she was or not. Then on another log entirely, two other people, Odysseus, a Poseidon Familia and Dido, an Athena Familia.
