The Mark of Athena[]
The seven demigods land the Argo II near the city on the summit of a forested hill. Coach Hedge says that General Sherman, a Greek demigod, son of Ares and a Union leader, once stood on the very same hill. Percy Jackson, Frank Zhang, and Coach Hedge then set out to find the primordial sea god, Phorcys. They find him at the Georgia Aquarium, after receiving help from a lady named Esther, a librarian at the Carter Center, who drove them personally downtown towards the aquarium.
