First of all if you go into your copy of the Lost Hero it clearly says that the seven was going to be made up of the most powerful demigods of the age. To answer your question firstly you left out Annabeth and she's shown to be the smartest demigod in the series so far.

I mentioned Nico so I don't even know why your bringing him as an example, I said that he's the only one not in the seven that could beat someone in the seven so what you just said is in valid.

2nd, it had nothing to do with him being Roman. In that case she could have picked Reyna instead of Jason, the reasons she picked him is because he's powerful and she's his patron, him being Roman only helped her pick.

I don't think Hazel would be all in awe over Thalia. Only thing that might make her say anything is Aegis and her combat prowess to a degree. Hera just didn't up and pick whoever she wanted, she needed them for a specific task as well as of what they could do.

I know you saw my comment above with me stating that Hera picked the strongest, cleverest , and smartest demigods of the age, I didn't say just strongest , they each belong in a certain category.
