Well … Zeus approves, Aeolus muttered. ―He says … he says it would be better if you could avoid saving her until after the weekend, because he has a big party planned-Ow! That's Aphrodite yelling at him, reminding him that the solstice starts at dawn. She says I should help you. And Hephaestus… yes. Hmm. Very rare they agree on anything. Hold on
In "The Lost Hero," Zeus expresses his reluctance to allow the rescue of a character until after the weekend, as he has a significant celebration planned. This message is communicated by Aeolus, who seems caught between the conflicting requests from the gods. The situation is complicated further by the distress of Aphrodite, who urgently reminds Aeolus that an important event, the solstice, is approaching at dawn.
Aeolus finds himself in a unique position where two powerful deities, Zeus and Aphrodite, are sharing their thoughts, which is a rare occurrence. Hephaestus also appears to have a say, indicating a rare moment of consensus among the gods. The dynamics among these characters highlight the interplay of divine priorities and the urgency of the quest at hand.
