Leo. “If I had a nickel for every one of Percy’s half-brothers we’ve had to fight on this stupid quest, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice."

"Fourth, he slew Sciron, the Corinthian, son of Pelops, or, as some say, of Poseidon. He in the Megarian territory held the rocks called after him Scironian, and compelled passers-by to wash his feet, and in the act of washing he kicked them into the deep to be the prey of a huge turtle"

SCIRON

In Greek mythology, Sciron was a famous Corinthian bandit or warlord who haunted the frontier between Attica and Megaris. He robbed travelers passing the Sceironian Rocks and sitting near the sea he made it his practice to force them to wash his feet at a precipitous place. When they knelt before him, he would suddenly give them a kick over the cliff into the sea, where the victim's body rolled down the crags into the sea. As his fourth labour, Theseus slew him in the same way, by pushing him off the cliff or according to some, the hero seized him by the feet and threw him into the sea. In the pediment of the royal Stoa at Athens, there was a group of figures of burnt clay, representing Theseus in the act of throwing Sciron into the sea.
