Symbols of Power

History
Each God of Ancient Greece and later Rome held their own symbols of power. Whether major or minor, the gods were identified by these symbols. However, the gods had established rules about each symbol, much like each gods domain. A god is not allowed to steal another god's symbol of power, however demigods are not affected by this rule (which allowed Luke to steal the Master Bolt and the Helm of Darkness). Also Hades, Zeus and Poseidon cannot create another Symbol of Power without the other gods agreeing to it beforehand, as a new symbol could upset the balance of power. Below is a list of the gods and some of their attributes:
