He also sends the Kerkopes to harass the Roman army massing at Camp Half-Blood. In Venice, Frank, Hazel and Nico retrieve barley cakes designed to protect them from poison in the <a href="/wiki/Necromanteion" class="mw-redirect" title="Necromanteion">Necromanteion</a> from Triptolemus. In exchange for the barley cakes, Frank has to get a replacement snake for Triptolemus’ chariot, which is powered by two snakes. After remembering that his father, <a href="/wiki/List_of_characters_in_mythology_novels_by_Rick_Riordan#Mars" title="List of characters in mythology novels by Rick Riordan">Mars</a>, can turn enemies to snakes, Frank decides to battle all the <a href="/wiki/Catoblepas" title="Catoblepas">Katobleps</a> (cow monsters) in exchange for a snake. He defeats all of the monsters and receives the blessing of Mars for his heroism, becoming physically stronger and gaining a snake for Triptolemus. During a later encounter with the bandit <a href="/wiki/List_of_characters_in_mythology_novels_by_Rick_Riordan#Sciron" title="List of characters in mythology novels by Rick Riordan">Sciron</a> and after a meeting with the goddess <a href="/wiki/List_of_characters_in_mythology_novels_by_Rick_Riordan#Hecate" title="List of characters in mythology novels by Rick Riordan">Hecate</a>, Hazel successfully learns to manipulate the Mist, a power that alters other people's reality layers by deceiving them. </p><p>At Jason's behest, the demigods travel to <a href="/wiki/Split,_Croatia" title="Split, Croatia">Split</a> to visit the tomb of <a href="/wiki/Diocletian" title="Diocletian">Diocletian</a>, retrieve his powerful scepter, and leave a note for <a href="/wiki/List_of_characters_in_mythology_novels_by_Rick_Riordan#Reyna_Ramirez" title="List of characters in mythology novels by Rick Riordan">Reyna</a> (who has been asked by Annabeth to find the Greek demigods). The god <a href="/wiki/List_of_characters_in_mythology_novels_by_Rick_Riordan#Cupid" title="List of characters in mythology novels by Rick Riordan">Cupid</a>, guardian of the scepter, refuses to relinquish it until Nico admits that he once had a crush on Percy Jackson.

While Leo is detained, the rest of the crew meets with <a href="/wiki/Notus" title="Notus">Notus</a>, who helps Jason to realize that he has chosen to be a Greek rather than a Roman demigod, settling an internal conflict within himself. Jason later gives up his <a href="/wiki/Praetor" title="Praetor">praetorship</a> to Frank in accordance with this decision.

Each of the demigods uses some aspect of their newly strengthened powers or identities to help defeat these monsters; for example, Hazel's new power and alliance with Hecate helps her defeat Pasiphaë and Clytius. </p><p>Meanwhile, Percy and Annabeth travel through Tartarus to the other side of the Doors of Death, aided by the Titan <a href="/wiki/List_of_characters_in_mythology_novels_by_Rick_Riordan#Iapetus" title="List of characters in mythology novels by Rick Riordan">Iapetus</a>, who now goes by "Bob" after <a href="/wiki/The_Demigod_Files#"Percy_Jackson_and_the_Sword_of_Hades"" title="The Demigod Files">a previous encounter with Percy</a>, the giant <a href="/wiki/Damasen" title="Damasen">Damasen</a>, and a few other beings.

He also commented that he had inserted a homosexual hero into his books because he had already taught gay and bisexual students, feeling that they deserved representation.
