Sword

A sword is a common weapon used by many Greek and Roman demigods. They are often made with Celestial bronze or for children of Hades, Stygian iron. In the case of Roman demigods, the swords are made of Imperial Gold. Swords consist of two parts: the hilt and the blade.



Hilt
The hilt of a sword is the part that is held. It commonly consists of a guard, grip, and pommel.
 * The Guard protects the hand from opponents' blades, and also protects the user's hand from sliding up onto the blade;
 * The Grip is the handle of the sword normally made of leather;
 * The Pommel is a counterweight at the top of the grip. It provides balance to the blade and it makes easier to swing the sword or hit something;later swords used heavier pommels to better move the sword and also attack the enemy with blunt damage as Percy does repeatedly in the series;

Blade


The blade is the cutting/hacking/slashing/stabbing part of a sword. It is flat and sharp. It can be sharp on either one or both sides.
