Artemis, the wielder of the most powerful Silver Bow.
The Silver bow is the primary weapon of the Hunters of Artemis. Artemis uses a similar weapon forged by Hephaestus, but it is much more powerful.
Description[]
The silver bows vanish when they aren't needed and reappear once they are. It is possible for the quivers to ran out of arrows though, as Thalia Grace's did in The Lost Hero. Their silver arrows can kill monsters such as lycanthropes, despite the fact that regular silver shouldn't harm monsters. They are also magically strong and springy, but can still be broken as seen in The Last Olympian.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians[]
The Titan's Curse[]
The Hunters use their bows against the Manticore. Bianca di Angelo also finds one in the Junkyard of the Gods in the form of a hair clip, but she doesn't take it after being warned not to take anything from the junkyard.
The Heroes of Olympus[]
The Lost Hero[]
The Hunters use them while defending the Wolf House and Hera from Gaea's monsters. However, their enemies are so numerous that Thalia Grace actually runs out of arrows while fighting them.
The Trials of Apollo[]
The Tyrant's Tomb[]
Diana kills Tarquin with her silver bow.
Trivia[]
- It is unknown if the bows are made from some kind of special form of silver, as it isn't listed as a precious metal when describing the different kinds.
- One bow was found by Bianca di Angelo in the Junkyard of the Gods, while in the form of a hair clip. It wasn't mentioned how it was cursed, but it wasn't the reason for Talos' awakening.
