The children of Hermes inherit his elfish facial features and Luke inherited his blue eyes. The children of Aphrodite inherit her beauty and appeal. Thalia and Jason Grace inherited Zeus' electric blue eyes, and Nico and Bianca di Angelo inherited Hades' black hair, dark eyes, and pale skin. For example, Percy inherited Poseidon's black hair, sea-green eyes and brooding look, while Annabeth Chase inherited Athena's grey eyes. They do not have a divine form, however they do inherit some traits from their god parent's divine form. Appearanceĭemigods are completely indistinguishable from humans. If the demigod is Roman, they are usually issued a quest by Octavian or, in at least one instance, a Roman god. Greek demigods often go on quests given to them by the Oracle of Delphi, whom is currently in the body of Rachel Elizabeth Dare.
#Greek demigod series
However, some examples of demigod siblings in the series include Nico and Bianca di Angelo, Connor and Travis Stoll, Jason and Thalia Grace (who have the same father, but in different aspects), and Castor and Pollux. After the Second Olympian War, Percy Jackson made all of the gods swear on the River Styx to recognize all of their children at the age of thirteen, and that each god and goddess (including the minor gods and goddesses) would get a cabin at Camp Half-Blood.įew demigods have full-blooded siblings (with the exception of twins), as their godly parent will usually leave their mortal consorts not long after a child is born, or sometimes even before that. Otherwise, they are placed in Hermes' cabin, as he is the patron to travelers, anyone is welcomed there, including children of minor gods who aren't important enough to have a cabin. Children of Athena are claimed at birth, while others have to demonstrate some form of their parents' trait to be noticed, either through cunning, powers, skills like archery, or even beauty.
It is around this time that they are escorted to Camp Half-Blood usually by satyrs, where they are placed in one of the cabins, each honoring a different god or goddess. If the child never learns that they are a demigod or they are a child of a minor god, monsters may overlook them. Also, if the demigod is a child of a powerful god, the scent can become even stronger. This scent will become stronger if the child learns they are a demigod. At this time, demigods will release a scent that monsters are able to detect. When a demigod reaches a certain age, normally early teens, their powers start to manifest. It is unknown if other virgin goddesses or gods in general have a special way to have children like Athena or Hecate. In this way, Athena remains a virgin goddess and it reflects how she herself was born, sprouting from the head of Zeus. While most demigods are created much like regular humans, children of Athena are born from their mother's thoughts merging with their father's. Many of them also have ADHD and dyslexia.
Because these children are part god, they have above average reflexes, an affinity for the Greek or Latin language, and may have some level of control or skill over the realm of their godly parent. Demigods are the end result of a god and a human having a child together.
