Special Athena kids should have an ability the way special Aphrodite kids can charmspeak, and that ability should be mind reading. Change my mind. I dare you.

POV: when you have a friend who has read all the books when you haven't
Me: (only had read up to TTC at this point) Honestly, an Aphrodite kid villain would be such a cool concept. I mean with charm speak and everything, they could cause some damage
My friend: Well Piper has charm speak, though she's not the bad one. That's Sliena--
Me: Ahem, TF YOU MEAN SILENA??

If Rick changed Medusa for the Roman Myth in the TV show to be more 'sensitive', then he better do the same with calling out Calypso and what SHE did to Odysseus as well.
I still like PJO even though some of the changes Riordan did aren't great and make me sad but I feel like I can still enjoy it to a degree. But I am genuinely stumped and a bit disturbed by how he decided to make Calypso a sweet, sad, lonely "good person". Sure, she's sad and lonely but she is NOT sweet. To me, she reads off as cruel to Leo but even then, why tf does he write her as a good person or someone we should be rooting for?
Her only big myth is basically in the Odyssey where she imprisons and rapes Odysseus for 7 years. In mythology, others do that too but these immortals ALSO have other myths that define them. This one myth is practically her ONLY ONE!
At night he slept beside her in the hollow cave, as he was forced to do—not of his own free will, though she was keen enough. But in the daylight hours
he’d sit down on the rocks along the beach, his heart
straining with tears and groans and sorrow, as he gazed, through his tears, over the restless sea
(Ian Johnston, Book 5)
Another translation of the same passage by E.V. Rieu
At nights, it is true, he had to sleep with her under the roof of the cavern, cold lover with an ardent dame. But the days found him sitting on the rocks or sands, torturing himself with tears and groans and heartache, and looking out with streaming eyes across the watery wilderness.
Rick, dude, how did you read the Odyssey and see her as someone to sympathize with? Plenty of lonely people are out there and they don't do what Calypso fucking did!
It kind of freaks me out that Percy was near this woman as she's over a thousand years old and he's 14 at this point. Even if it WAS for a short amount of time. And pairing her with Leo? These kids should not be anywhere NEAR her!
idk, I doubt he'll fix this in the show but I can hope :')

Child of Aphrodite Warriors
In the suface it was a funny ironic idea I was thinking but the more I think about it the more it makes sense??
Ironic in a way that the Link who is associated with military and war, is a child of the love goddess. But it fits so well with the narrative of Hyrule Warriors and his characterization in Linked Universe.
This also fits the theme well of love AND war completing each other in the battlefield. Love fueling the flames of war to which sometimes, love overpowering it all together.
