True. But I just wouldn't have minded a scene of Chiron galloping into battle and cutting through swathes of enemies, ala Clarisse in TLO. And I don't count Sea of Monsters, because Chiron had all the "Party Ponies" with him. And hey, killing Chiron off would add some spice of tragedy.

But with everything else, yes I agree with you, except maybe for the Hera bit, Hera didn't always favor underdogs, as shown in the Aeneid where she favors the dominant empire of the time and even goes as far as to try to kill Aeneas.

Ah true, I kind of forgot that one. Though one could also say Hera was doing this because she hated the Trojans due to Aphrodite being chosen as "the fairest," and Aeneas was Trojan. Certainly didn't help that Aeneas was a son of Aphrodite. Hera can be quite spiteful at times *shudder*.
