Leo Valdez at first thinks that statue may be an Automaton that someone wound too tightly and started to poke at the pedestal with a screwdriver.
He also insults Athena, saying that the Romans had a proper place for her, something that greatly upsets Annabeth. Piper McLean tried to charmspeak the statue, but he is unaffected by her powers and knocks Katoptris from her hand with a small explosion. He began to order them to not cross the Pomerian Line with weapons on board. He appeared in an explosion that almost knocked Annabeth Chase off the ship. Terminus appeared on the Argo II as it approached Camp Jupiter. Terminus also promises to help him kill any more giants while he's in town if need be and Percy promises to keep that in mind. Terminus cheerfully greets the new praetor and offers Percy advice on adjusting his new cloak. Polybotes disintegrates and the pleased Terminus yells that it will teach the giant to respect the rules of Rome.Īfter celebrating the victory, Percy encounters Terminus at the Pomerian Line where the god is wearing a party hat and having Julia pass them out to people. Holding Terminus' head, Percy introduces the giant to his friend Terminus and reveals that Terminus is a god before smashing Polybotes in the nose with Terminus' head. After being stabbed with Riptide by Percy, Polybotes trips over the pedestal and crashes to the ground, certain that Percy can't kill him. Outraged, Terminus finally agrees to help Percy kill Polybotes. When Polybotes crosses the Pomerian Line with a weapon, Terminus is furious while the giant just mocks him, ultimately breaking his statue into three pieces: pedestal, body and head. As only a god and a demigod working together can kill a Gigantes, Percy asks for his help in killing Polybotes, but Terminus refuses as he enforces the rules, not kills giants. Terminus, again, "inspects" the three and allowed them to pass.ĭuring the battle against Polybotes' army, Percy seeks out the nearest statue of Terminus who is protecting the city from the army's missiles. He later asks Hazel Levesque to move a rock to its "correct" position.Īfter the Senate meeting, Percy, Hazel, and Frank Zhang headed to Caldecott Tunnel in which they meet Terminus again near the entrance. Terminus gets angered by this, but eventually allows Percy to enter the city. Terminus inspects Percy with his "hands" which Percy criticizes. Terminus first appears when Percy Jackson headed to the Senate House and served as the city's guard saying no weapons are allowed and lets his assistant, Julia, take Riptide. In the 1990s, Terminus stopped a young girl from entering Camp Jupiter due to her being a daughter of Mefitis, the goddess of noxious fumes. The worship of Terminus was either introduced to Rome during the reign of Romulus or during the time of his successor Numa. The proceedings closed with songs to the god and a general merrymaking, in which all the members of the family and the servants took part. The owners of adjacent lands assembled at the common boundary stone, and crowned their own side of the stone with garlands an altar was set up and offerings of cakes, corn, honey and wine were made later, a lamb or a sucking pig was sacrificed. On the 23rd of February (the end of the old Roman year) the festival called Terminalia, according to Wissowa, a festival not of the god but of the boundary stones ( termini), was held.
Any one who removed a boundary stone was accursed and might be slain with impunity a fine was afterwards substituted for the death penalty. When it was entirely consumed, the boundary stone, which had been previously anointed and crowned with garlands, was placed upon the hot ashes and fixed in the ground. A trench was dug, in which a fire was lighted a victim was sacrificed, and its blood poured into the trench the body, upon which incense and fruits, honey and wine were thrown, was then cast into the fire. He was usually represented by a stone or post, set up in the ground with the following religious ceremonies. 3.1 Camp Jupiter Classified: A Probatio's Journal.
