Jason clenched his walking stick. "That guy just disintegrated my dad. Who does he think he is?"

"I'm guessing that's Antinous," said Annabeth, "one of the suitors' leaders. If I remember right, it was Odysseus who shot him through the neck with that arrow."

Piper winced. "You'd think that would keep a guy down. What about all the others? Why are there so many?"

"I don't know," Annabeth said. "Newer recruits for Gaia, I guess. Some must've come back to life before we closed the Doors of Death. Some are just spirits."

"Some are ghouls," Jason said. "The ones with the gaping wounds and the gray skin, like Antinous . . . I've fought their kind before."

Piper tugged her blue harpy feather. "Can they be killed?"

Jason remembered the quest he'd taken for Camp Juipiter years ago in San Bernardino. "Not easily. They're strong and fast and intelligent. Also, they eat human flesh."

"Fantastic," Annabeth muttered.
