I think that the reason why Terminus thought that Annabeth being the daughter of Minerva/Athena, is "Scandalous!" is becuase Minerva/Athena is a maiden goddess. And there may not be any children of Minerva at Camp Jupiter, so Terminus is maybe assuming that Annabeth was born the *ahem* natural way, which would be very bad!

Or maybe Terminus is implying when he says "that goddess" that Minerva/Athena should be staying indoors or something, instead of having children. Since she is not a bad Roman goddess, but I think she is more appreciated in Greece because she is the parton of Athens etc.

Also, does anyone think that the owl on the cover of the MoA looks angry...?!
