The Lost Hero

Discuss the three different narrative voices. How does the third person narration differ in Jason, Piper, and Leo’s sections of the novel? What do these three teenage demigods have in common? How do Piper and Leo use different tools to cope with their difficult childhoods?

What signs are there of Jason’s Roman heritage? How does he react to Camp Half-Blood? How do others react to him? What larger significance might the Greek/Roman rivalry have in the book?

Each of the three main characters gets important information in a dream. Why is dreaming important for demigods? How can gods and goddesses communicate in ways they would not usually be able to? What is left out in these dreams?
