with a retractable blade. He is of Greek heritage on his mother's side, and thus grew up with the stories of classical mythology. If the other teenagers are confused about a certain mythological concept, he usually explains it to them. Jay takes his role as a hero very seriously, usually worrying about potential threats even when everything seems fine. His sense of responsibility and focused work ethic tends to drive the group mildly insane.
Sailing Sailing employs the wind—acting on sails, wingsails or kites—to propel a craft on the surface of the ''water'' (sailing ship, sailboat, raft, windsurfer, or kitesurfer), on ''ice'' (iceboat) or on ''land'' (land yacht) over a chosen cour ...

In the first episode that she appears, he asks if she can read minds, which implies that he doesn't want her to know he likes her. The two of them share a passionate kiss in the season 2 finale. Jay is analyzed as the everyman, taking into account the well-being of his friends and respecting each and every one of their abilities. His mentor is Hera. *Atlanta (voiced by

She was born and raised in the Northwest Territories and was brought up around weapons and such, which explains her odd passion for dangerous weapons. She has exceptional reflexes and tracking abilities, and uses either jaw-trap steel

brought to Olympus High, with the other four being introduced in subsequent episodes. He has superhuman strength and thus tends not to wield a weapon in favor of using brute strength alone, but can be improvisational and learn to use just about anything when the need arises. Herry is laid-back and easy-going, but can be easy to anger, which can sometimes lead him into trouble. He has a big appetite and is fond of his grandmother, "Granny", who appears to have raised him. His teammates sometimes belittle his intelligence, though at times he's shown to be quite smart, especially when it comes to thinking of quick solutions. Granny is the only parental figure that seems to know about Herry and the other heroes as of Episode 12 and even is familiar with

like Achilles was, and has never been sick a day of his life (though he does have a scar, as mentioned in "Sibling Rivalry"). In addition to his various physical abilities, Archie is also knowledgeable about Greek mythology from reading a lot of Greek poetry. Archie tends to be brash, macho, somewhat insensitive, and has a slight tendency to show off, but also tends to keep to himself and is rather cynical. His skepticism extends towards the supernatural, resulting in his initial hostility toward Theresa, brushing off her abilities as predictions and blatantly ignoring her, though they eventually iron out their differences. Archie has also been attracted to Atlanta since they first met, but unfortunately, he does not have the courage to confess his feelings, though he did kiss her on the cheek once in "Little Box of Horrors" while she was unconscious after being infected by the Seeper. Atlanta, for her part, is apparently oblivious to Archie's affections and instead, the two of them are always competing to best the other. When he openly tells her his feelings in "The Deep End", she is initially wary of such a change in their relationship, but later tells him she likes him as well. He has an irrational fear of water and refuses to swim, though Atlanta eventually helps him get past this fear. Archie's mentor is
