C. Kellogg, beloved as Athena; Allison Bauer, clear-eyed asArtemis the Huntress; and Mrs Margaret Floyd, the wise and kindly seer ofmiddle-school English. My appreciation also to Professor Egbert J. Bakker,classicist extraordinaire; Nancy Gallt, agent summa cum laude; JonathanBurnham, Jennifer Besser, and Sarah Hughes for believing in Percy.
