User blog comment:Darkcloud1111/''The Mark of Athena'' Plot Holes/@comment-3146930-20121012184402

This is just something that annoys me and may not be a plot hole. So Reyna mentioned another child of Athena that was given the coin and sent out to find the statue. However, by the time he made it to Circe's island, he had gone crazy. Alright, so just a couple of things to bring up...How was he driven mad? I mean I could understand if he went to Rome and Arachne scared him so much that he went insane, but that brings up so many more questions. How did he survive Arachne? Did she scare him crazy and then let him go? Did he manage to escape somehow? If he escaped, how in the name of the gods did he find his way to the Sea of Monsters and end up on Circe's island? He was never at camp, so was he just growing up in that area and somehow went to the wrong Sea of Monsters? It doesn't make any sense!
