Description

It's also possible that they originally began dating in secret during the summer of the Battle of the Labyrinth, and it had come out by The Last Olympian

Shapeshifting: Apollo is capable of altering his appearance at will, shown when he transformed into his mortal alter-ego "Fred" in The Titan's Curse. He was later forcibly transformed by Zeus into the mortal teenager, Lester Papadopoulos, in The Hidden Oracle. The story's pretty simple. Kind of a version of capture the flag, where Percy and Grover chase a (literal and figurative) songbird around the city. Enhanced Healing: As shown in The Last Olympian, Apollo could instantly heal wounds - he healed all of Annabeth's wounds by speaking an incantation, and later did the same with Chiron. His demigod children were able to channel his healing abilities when they hummed a hymn to him in Ancient Greek, but it required a good deal of energy on their part, and in The Blood of Olympus, his immortal son, Asclepius, was revealed to slightly surpassing him in this regard. In The Tower of Nero, in one of his godly bursts of power, Apollo appears to heal Luguselwa somewhat treating her injuries.Kit is a mission oriented boy who loves the outdoors but hates the regimented competitive nature of The Scouts. He leaves both "survival desert" groups to strike out on his own, but an alien craft crashes and what follows is an exciting cat and mouse chase across the desert, culminating with a major plot twist at the end. Fantastic. Audiokinesis: As shown in The Blood of Olympus, Apollo's son, Will Solace, could make a sharp ultrasonic whistle-like sound that can temporarily stun his opponents, making them clutch their ears in confusion, suggesting that Apollo may be able to do the same thing. In The Tyrant's Tomb, in one of his bursts of godly powers, Apollo loosed a guttural roar at a severely weakened Commodus, described as "a song with only one note: pure rage and only one volume: maximum." The onslaught of pure sound caused Commodus to crumble into ash, leaving behind a charred outline on the asphalt. Apollo was left stunned by this as he had never actually killed someone with his voice alone in his thousands of years of existence. Apollo was angered and devastated by his favorite son's death but couldn't take out his anger on Zeus himself as the king of gods was way too powerful, so he subsequently killed one of the Cyclopes (who forged Zeus's thunderbolts) in retaliation which caused Apollo to be suspended for a year. To prevent a feud, after Zeus resurrected his cyclopes, Asclepius was resurrected and made into a god, but was forbidden by Hades from ever resurrecting the dead ever again. Under the influence of the Mesopotamian god Lugal, a band of kids steals a statue of Apollo from the British Museum.

Rise of the RoboShoesTM by Tom Angleberger is a fun little tounge in cheek, semi illustrated story, just fine for kids of any age at all! 3* Apollo is the only male Olympian that is described as having blond hair, the female one being his aunt Demeter. Apollo's daughter, Kayla Knowles' other parent is Darren Knowles, a Canadian archery instructor. Apollo seems to think it's ordinary for kids to be born from such relationships.We said, 'No! You are not our masters! We no longer serve you! Now you will serve us ... or die!!!!!'" Ironically Apollo lies about being the elder twin (Artemis was born nine days before him) despite also being the god of truth. The latter may simply be him messing with his sister for fun (due to her favored form being a 12 year old and his that of a teenager).

When Leto was pregnant, Hera was furious with Zeus' unfaithfulness and forbade the Titan from giving birth on either the islands or mainlands. Fortunately, the floating Isle of Delos gave sanctuary to Leto, and through the help of all the goddesses, who begged Hera to allow Eileithyia (who's also her daughter) the goddess of childbirth, to come to Leto, she finally gave birth to the goddess Artemis and, nine days later, Apollo. A four-day-old Apollo petitioned Hephaestus for a golden bow and a set of arrows which he used to kill Python, a dragon that was previously sent by Hera to chase his mother, Leto. After his defeat of Python, Apollo established the Oracle of Delphi as recompense, for Python was the child of Gaea, and Gaea complained to Zeus about Apollo's act. He also established the Pythian Games and named his Oracle the Pythia, to honor his great foe. The next day he had physical training with Sherman Yang, which greatly tires him. He then has a music class and plays a beautiful melody that makes everyone present weep, but the former god immediately received the fatiguing consequences of playing in such a way. He has archery next and gets one bulls-eye and hit the white of the target with his other shots much to his dismay. His daughter Kayla tells him to practice, but out of frustration, he swears on the Styx to not play music or practice archery until he is a god again. He then sees Sherman going towards the forest calling his brother's and girlfriend's names. He snaps out of it and remembers nothing. The horn sounds for the three-legged death race and they head out. Apollo has several loyal attendants, including the Nine Muses (some of which he fathered children with) and four golden Celedons, all of which accompany him in musical performances.

Chapter 1

The wonderful short story as usual focused on Percy and Grover and it was fun reading about him. I don't think that we would be getting a full-fledged series about Percy again so these snippets from his life are perfect. Interestingly enough, in the traditional Greek works, Apollo is described as wielding a silver bow and his sister having golden shafts. This change in the Riordanverse (and most popular media) is most likely due to the two's later domains as the sun and moon, which are characterized as golden and silver. The Warlords of Recess by Eric Nylund- This was another one that's just slightly ridiculous. It works though. It's silly, but I can see how lots of MG boys would think it's hilarious so I think it's perfect for this book even though it didn't work great for me. 3 stars
