Medusa (to Percy and Annabeth): We are not our parents, until we choose to be. You two have chosen. A daughter of a self-righteous mother, who chose self-righteousness for herself. And you, you could have shown your father what it means to stand up for someone you love. You could choose to save your mother instead of doing your father's bidding. If neither of you will help teach these lessons, perhaps you should be the lessons. When I ship your statues to Olympus... maybe that will get my point across even better.
