Odie lets Hermes' powerful Caduceus fall into Cronus' hands and, thinking he doesn't have the stuff heroes are made of, he quits the team- and joins Cronus! Is this a ruse worthy of his ancestor Odysseus, or has Odie really turned to the dark side forever
In the meantime Jay is wondering if he really is fit to be the leader.
Notes[]
- Archie used his Hephaestus Whip against Cronus. In the second episode, we learned that whip can cut through any material. If it weren't for the fact that Cronus had made him temporarily powerful, he would have had a limb severed from his body. But Archie didn't know about this temporary powers so it seems that Archie wanted to severely injure him..
- When the heros are fighting the giants, in the background you can see that Neil does a backflip off a tree.
- The Chosen Ones who fend off giants and other monsters on a regular basis couldn't handle a grizzly bear.
- On the bus that almost hits Odie, there is a picture of Neil on the side of the bus
- Archie mentions that Atlanta is a junior in highschool.
- Neil is seen doing a backflip off a bush-thing.
Trivia[]
- When Hermes was controlling the bear using his staff, he joked by telling it to find a picnic basket or park ranger. This is most likely a play on the popular cartoon "Yogi Bear". Yogi (the main character in the series) frequently bothered the park ranger by stealing picnic baskets from guests.

Mythology[]
Artemis may have been represented as a supporter of Troy because her brother Apollo was the patron god of the city and she herself was widely worshipped. She came to blows with Hera, when the divine allies of the Greeks and Trojans engaged each other in conflict. Hera struck Artemis on the ears with her own quiver, causing the arrows to fall out. As Artemis fled crying to Zeus, Leto gathered up the bow and arrows.
Artemis played quite a large part in this war. Like her mother and brother, who was widely worshipped at Troy, Artemis took the side of the Trojans. At the Greek's journey to Troy, Artemis punished Agamemnon after he killed a sacred stag in a sacred grove and boasted that he was a better hunter than the goddess. When the Greek fleet was preparing at Aulis to depart for Troy to begin the Trojan War, Artemis becalmed the winds. The seer Calchas advised Agamemnon that the only way to appease Artemis was to sacrifice his daughter Iphigenia. Artemis snatched Iphigenia from the altar and substituted a deer. After, Artemis either made Iphigenia her attendant or turned her into Hecate, goddess of night and witchcraft.
