8:23 “Why was he rejected by Hera?” Hephaestus was born deformed and not beautiful like the other gods, so on the day of his birth Hera literally chucked him off a mountain. Hephaestus found a home with some sea nymphs who he thanked with beautiful jewelry he created. When Hera found out what he could create she convinced him to come back promising him that Aphrodite would be his wife. In the stories I’ve read Aphrodite ends up choosing to be with Hephaestus because he works so much giving her time to “mingle” with other gods, especially Ares.

slight change, He struggled his way up the mountain and gifted hera with the chair to allow him onto olympus but she tok the chair and rejected him BUT the chair was the one we see in the episode and she was forced to allow him onto olympus and aphrodite was forced to marry him.

I wasn't familiar with it, but apparently there is indeed this version of Hephaestus getting revenge on Hera and trapping her in this chair that even gods wouldn't be able to get out of, and he used that to get them to hand Aphrodite in marriage to him. I liked the feeling of learning another new aspect of greek myths, it's one of the things I liked the most about the books 😊

When Percy said they had to be detectives, Grover took that personally 👏🏾

One thing I loved learning about this series is the fact that they casted an actual disabled actor (Timothy Omundson) to play Hephaestus (who is known for being a disabled God)... and according to a post by Omundson on Instagram, the props department constructed Hephaestus' cane to the same specifications as Omundson's real life cane, so he could actually use it I love the parallel they give Annabeth and Hephaestus in this story... both betrayed by their mothers and realizing the Gods arent as great as people think they are... Hephaestus really was the perfect person to hear her speech and I like the little comment of him putting in a good word with her mother

Idk if it's a coincidence or not, but there's a point in the "What is Love" scene when both Percy and Annie stay silent and you just see Hephaestus being rejected and mistreated while the lyrics say "What is wrong? What is right? Give me a sign". That whole song fits Hephaestus so well - a god married to the goddess of love who constantly rejects and cheats on him, rejected by a mom who was supposed to love him... and asking not to be hurt anymore. He's there wondering what is wrong or right. That chair represents him doing the same thing all the gods around him do. But Annabeth shows him what is right: Percy has shown her that they had to break that chain of bullying, backstabbing and neglect, of not caring about each other. That was the sign he needed, and thus he lets Percy go. This is what PJO is about at the end, right? Breaking generational trauma and making things different... better.

The percabeth was PERCABETHING in this episode

@tristancreed

We got two of those scenes in this episode.

The reason you don't remember how the water park scene went down is because they did something entirely new with it! In the books, it was just a normal abandoned amusement park -- not one specifically made by Hephaestus. What was made by him was a golden net made from animatronic spiders' threads who attacked Percy and Annabeth as the careened down the river. He also set cameras up around the ride to broadcast Ares and Aphrodite caught in his trap back to Olympus and embarrass them. In that version, Ares really did abandon his shield there when he realized there was a trap and made Percy and Annabeth go get it to avoid the bad publicity. Nobody had to sacrifice themselves, but we did learn that Annabeth is terrified of spiders, and we got to see Percy and Annabeth combine their skills of wisdom and water to launch themselves at the perfect time to exit the ride without being crushed. A totally different series of events, both with their own strengths.

Medusa's update, tying it up to ep 4 and Annabeth/Percy having their worldviews challenged, which is now tied to how one sees in the other something that they lack. I can already see certain gears turning for future episodes and even seasons, and it's so nice that every little scene and aspect isn't wasted here. It's been an amazing journey to me.

Walker’s acting brings me to tears. the emotion in his eyes when him and annabeth are arguing over who is gonna sit in the chair and he tells her she’s the one who’s supposed to sacrifice him if the quest required it was amazing. i literally started crying when he asks annabeth to come back and free him from the chair later and she says “you think you had to ask?” And he just smiles sadly and says “just making sure.” ALSO im sick as well 😭

We know uncle Rick was behind that cliffhanger😭

The reason you don’t remember this part in the books was because they changed it completely. in the books, there are mechanical spiders (showing Annabeth’s fear) and Percy creates a tidal wave to get rid of them. Grover also goes with them to the amusement park in the books, but i don’t really mind what they did here, though i thought Hephaestus was a little odd

LMAO THE “twitter exactly ain’t nobody calling it x!!”

The ongoing theme is that love from the gods is very conditional. His father loves him because he is great

I laughed out loud at the SNL Roxbury skit nod during the Haddaway "What is love" animation bit in the tunnel.

Honestly, Hephaestus has always been my favourite God from Greek mythology. He’s just a guy who loves to make things; you gotta respect the grind. Also Aphrodite is for the streets, according to one other comment I read here 😂 Also POTENTIAL SPOILER: In the preview for what comes next week, Percy bumps into a person, who could potentially be Nico.

Historically yes Athena was a woman hater. The Athenians and other followers of Athena arguably used her to justify a lot of misogyny in their culture because she was born directly from Zeus' head and is motherless (Zeus consumed her pregnant mother to avert a prophecy that she would give Zeus a son who would overthrow him...as you do). Because of this, Athena thinks and strategises in a way that men were expected to do so and her appreciation for beauty and crafting came from the perspective of architectural perfection and aesthetics rather than more emotive places. As a result she favoured male heroes and punished women who displeased her more harshly than most of the other gods (witness Medusa and Arachne)

I loveeeed this episode The changes are good so far Rick know what hes doing

I'm curious to see whether Grover has actually figured it out already because in the book, the lightning thief is not actually revealed until after the bolt is returned and the thief reveals himself to Percy. I'm really loving the show so far
