List of minor characters

This is a list of characters who are mentioned, but most have not appeared. Many are simply minor characters that appear in the campaigns but do not contribute much to the overall story. These characters are mainly from the three campaigns of The Olympians Incarnate (Arcs I, II, III, IV, V); The Sons of Balder (Arcs I, II, III, IV, V); The Book of Le Fay (Arcs I, II, III, IV, V).

Adonis
A beautiful child who was born from a tree, Aphrodite chose Persephone to help her raise him in the Underworld so no one could desire his beauty besides herself. Both Persephone and Aphrodite took turns raising the boy, shuffling him back and forth between Aphrodite's palace on Cyprus and Hades’ Palace. The child would eventually grow up into the most handsome man in the world. By this time, the two goddesses fell in love with Adonis and began fighting over him.

With them unable to reach a compromise, the two took Adonis to Mount Olympus, where Zeus decided that it would be best for Adonis to spend a third of each year with each respective goddess, and have the final third to himself. During the time he spent with her, Adonis would have to hide in closets and under Persephone's bed every time Hades entered her chambers, since the god didn't know about his wife's lover. After Adonis decided to spend his third time of the year with Aphrodite, he was stabbed to death by a wild boar of Ares, Aphrodite's immortal lover.

Alcmene
Mother of Heracles.

Andromeda
Princess of Aethiopia. Boasted by her mother, Cassiopeia, to be more beautiful than the Nereids, Poseidon sends floods and waves over the land as divine punishment. Andromeda's parents have no choice but to leave her chained to a rock by the sea as a sacrifice to Cetus and to appease Poseidon. She is later saved by Perseus, who kills Cetus.

Arachne
Mortal weaver who succumbed to hubris, believing that her weaving outmatched even that of Athena. When challenged to a weaving contest by Athena herself, Arachne began to taunt the goddess. Enraged, Athena brought shame upon Arachne; who later was found in her house hung on a noose. Unable to cope with the idea that she disappointed Athena.

Feeling sorry for the girl, Athena turned Arachne into the first spider. So that she may weave with silk for eternity.

Argus
A giant with eyes all over his body. Notably watched over Io when she was a cow in Hera's possession.

Askalaphos
A servant of Hades; gave Persephone the pomegranate seeds that kept her in the Underworld for part of the year.

Cassiopeia
Queen of Aethiopia and mother of Andromeda. Once boasted that her daughter was more beautiful than the Nereids.

Helen of Troy
Wife of Menelaus and later Paris. Believed to be the most beautiful woman in the world.

Io
One of Zeus's mortal lovers. Ancestor of many Greek heroes. An Argive princess who was turned into a cow by Zeus after almost being found by Hera.

After being given to Hera, Io was watched by Argus until Hermes came to rescue her by lulling Argus to sleep with a lyre.

Jason
Hero and leader of the Argonauts. He set sail from aboard the Argo to Colchis to retrieve the Golden Fleece. While he was successful, the Golden Fleece was later stolen after his death and returned to Colchis.

Kampê
Guard of the Elder Cyclopes and Hekatonkeires in Tartarus during the Titanomachy.

Maia
Mother of Hermes.

Midas
Greek king who was cursed with the golden touch.

Minos
Tyrannical king of Crete who oversaw the building of the Labyrinth.

Orion
One of two male Hunters who joined the Hunters of Artemis.

When his close friendship with Artemis was beginning to look romantic, the disapproving Apollo sought to get rid of Orion in the safest way possible. One night while on a swim, after being shown the Hunter out in the water as an impossible target, Artemis shot Orion without knowing it on the suggestion of Apollo. Soon after finding out, Artemis grieved for a long time, turning Orion into a constellation in his honor.

Orpheus
A son of Oeagrus and Calliope, who was the muse of epic poetry. Orpheus was a very gifted musician trained by the god of music, Apollo, himself. His music was so beautiful and sweet that it charmed many wild beasts, made trees sob, and even created an entrance to the Underworld itself. He fell in love with and married Eurydice, a daughter of Apollo.

A few months later, she was bitten by venomous snakes and died. Distraught at her untimely death, Orpheus sang his way into the Underworld, bewitching Charon, Cerberus, the Furies and even Hades and Persephone themselves. Hades allowed him to take his wife back, on the condition that he would walk in front of her and not look behind him as he led her back to the upper world along the borderland between the living and the dead. However, he could not resist the temptation. The moment he crossed the border, he looked back just before his wife left the Underworld, losing her forever.

Orpheus was later ripped apart by the Maenads on Dionysus' orders for the depressing music. His head and harp floated in the sea for while before being found by Apollo. The god cast the harp into the stars and the head was made a oracle at a shrine at Antissa. When Orpheus was finally killed by Apollo, his soul was reunited with Eurydice in Elysium. '''As for Orpheus's spirit, I've heard rumors that was reunited with Eurydice in Elysium.

Orpheus also had a role aboard the Argo with Jason. He used his lyre to put the Colchian Dragon to sleep and later drowned out the song of the Sirens.

Paris
Mortal prince of Troy who was called on by Zeus to choose which goddess received the Apple of Discord. Each choice offered Paris a reward if they were chosen. Hera offered him the throne of Asia Minor; Athena offered him great knowledge of battle strategy; Aphrodite offered him the hand in marriage of the most beautiful woman in the world. Who just so happened to be Helen of Troy, the wife of Spartan king Menelaus.

Perseus
Son of Zeus and Danaë. Famous slayer of Medusa, he later rescues the Aetheopian princess Andromeda from the sea monster Cetus.

Semele
Mother of Dionysus with Zeus. Killed by witnessing the divine form of Zeus with her own eyes.

Triptolemus
A prince of Eleusis who directed Demeter to Helios (and subsequently, helped her find Persephone), was justly rewarded by the goddess: she gifted him with a beautiful red-and-gold winged chariot (pulled by two pythons), and taught him the arts of agriculture. Afterwards, Demeter sent him on a mission to educate the whole of Greece. When Triptolemus taught Lynkos, king of Scythia (and demigod son of Hades), the arts of agriculture, Lynkos refused to teach it to his people and then tried to murder Triptolemus. As a result, Demeter turned him into a lynx, and made Triptolemus the immortal God of Farming.
