now before you go off at me and challenge me I must ask a question of you. where are their shields?

they repeatedly use one handed swords and continuously neglect to use a shield. it's not like they couldn't carry and enchanted one around. Percy had one and it was only helpful for a book. curse aside every other fight would've been easier with one.

but okay greeks don't need one unless they're using a spear or something (Stupid but moving on). what about the Romans? well now here's something interesting. the Gladius, the main weapon of the Roman legionary was always, ALWAYS used in tandem with a scutum (Rectangle shield). they were made together and supposed to be used together. it's the only reason it actually worked historically. So Jason, what's your excuse for not using what literally comes with the job?

Conclusion: Demigods are morons who realistically would have died long ago if not for plot and would've had an easier time if the smart people were in fact actually intelligent enough to consider defence.

Heck While I'm at it, why do they insist on old style armour? why not just use plate? it doesn't actually slow you down or restrict your movements all that much. I can understand in the wild when fights are something you're looking for but, when you go to war... So discuss anyone?
