Summary
“Remember what they call you, Perseus. Remember that you walk in the steps of giants. Remember that nine hundred years ago, it was Paris who let all of Troy burn for one woman.”
Aphrodite, in the body of Annabeth, takes his face in her hands, and gods above, Perseus sways in her touch, leaning into the palm of the girl he still adores, smelling the salt and sweetness of Mykonos on her. He thinks of her in Athens, peaceful and unaware of what will come. Of what will happen when he sends the tsunami over her beloved city.
“Yield, Perseus, and you may have her,” Aphrodite pleads. Perseus shuts his eyes in guilt. Another heartbeat passes, and he hears both her curiosity and pity. “But you would lose everything else too, wouldn’t you?”
_____________________________________________________
Perseus is recruited to fight for Sparta in ancient times. Annabeth, meanwhile, sides with the enemy. In other words: love in the time of the Peloponnesian War.
