Strike 1 to end that you can just give me a quote cause I can't be bothered to start looking for my copy and checking. If you can give me a quote, then I'll concede that point.

Strike 2 I am more than sure that Leo knew he was the only one that was going to die. Reason being once his plan came into play, Gaia would be gone. The part of the plan he wasn't sure would work was if he would come back to life. His only chance was the Physicians cure. What are you saying he should have done- given them the real copy so he'd just die and never come back? I don't think so. So I maintain that strike.

Strike 3 in case you didn't notice, Leo was above Ogygia almost immediately after he was brought back to life. So, the time between him waking up and reuniting with Calypso that he was meant to use, I don't get. A sort of good point, just that Leo met her almost immediately, so we don't know what he would have done. So I maintain that strike too, I'm afraid. Okay then, debate it is. :)

1. If you can't be bothered, I can't either. To be perfectly honest, I'm not even sure which book it is Leo has his conversation with Leo. If it's House of Hades, I don't even own the book.

2. There is no way he could be sure he was the only one going to die. Nobody can read the future like that but the Fates. In fact, up until that point, everyone was convinced Gaea intended to kill two questers for the blood sacrifice (turns out, only a little blood was needed). He should've held on to the cure, not pretend to give it away.

3. One message is all he needed to do. His friends didn't even enter his mind. It was just, "LEO IS BACK FROM THE DEAD! I LOVE MYSELF!" then off to his girlfriend of no more than a few weeks. I'm reading the chapter over again, trying to find mention of his friends but he is only thinking of how hot Calypso is (especially if she insults him) and how awesome he is from bringing himself back to life.

Leo is a good character, but Calypso ruined him.
