EX<em>CUSE </em>YOU?!?! He defeated Kronos, Ares, Hades, an entire army of the dead with one sword, dipped in the river Styx, held the sky, defeated Gaea (sort of...? It was really Leo.), fought Amazons, saved the world not once, but <em>twice</em>, fought Empousai, the Minotaur twice, Medusa, Procrustes, the Nemean Lion, Geyron, Hellhounds (even managed to <em>befriend </em>one), Sobek's son, (evil) Cyclops, (evil) Centaurs, Tellkhines, Otis, Ephialtes, Luke (though, Luke sort of defeated himself), and a lot, <em>lot</em> more. Did I mention defeating Kronos? He was <em>still</em> new to being a demigod. He even jumped into (and survived) Tartarus (he jumped in the name of love). He was only <em>fifteen</em> when he was asked immorally. He <em>turned it down</em>. He found and returned the Golden Fleece, brought back Thalia, almost killed Nico (long story), stole the heart of many people (Nico, Annabeth, Calypso, an Amazon, Rachel, etc). DO YOU WANT ME TO EXPLAIN HOW ALL OF THIS MAKES HIM A HERO?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
