    Rick Riordan
    “I'm the son of Jupiter, I'm a child of Rome, consul to demigods, praetor of the First Legion. I slew the Trojan sea monster, I toppled the black throne of Kronos, and destroyed Titan Krios with my own hand. And now I'm going to destroy you Porphyrion, and feed you to your own wolves."
    "Wow, dude," Leo muttered, "You been eating red meat?”

    “Gods of Olympus.” Piper stared at Leo. “What happened to you?”

    “Long story,” he said.”
    Rick Riordan, The Mark of Athena

    “Leo couldn't help smiling. "That could be fun."

    “Leo lowered his screwdriver. He looked at the ceiling and shook his head like, What am I gonna do with this guy?
    "I try very hard to be annoying," Leo said. "Don't insult my ability to annoy. And how am I supposed to resent you if you go apologizing? I'm a lowly mechanic. You're like the prince of the sky, son of the Lord of the Universe. I'm supposed to resent you."
    "Lord of the Universe?" (Jason)
    "Sure, you're all-bam! Lightning man. And 'Watch me fly. I am the eagle that soars-" (Leo)
    "Shut up, Valdez." (Jason)
    Leo managed a little smile. "Yeah, see. I do annoy you."
    "I apologize for apologizing." (Jason)

    “Leo drummed his fingers. “Great. I should have installed a smoke screen that makes the ship smell like a giant chicken nugget. Remind me to invent that, next time.”
    Hazel frowned. “What is a chicken nugget?”
    “Oh, man…” Leo shook his head in amazement. “That's right. You’ve missed the last, like, seventy years. Well, my apprentice, a chicken nugget—”
    “Doesn’t matter,” Annabeth interrupted.”

    “Huh," Leo said. "Well, if you ever get off this island and want a job, let me know. You're not a total klutz."

    She smirked. "A job, eh?" Making things in your forge?"

    "Nah, we could start our own shop," Leo said, surprising himself. Starting a machine shop had always been one of his dreams, but he'd never told anyone about it. "Leo and Calypso's Garage: Auto Repair and Mechanical Monsters.”

    “Thunder boomed overhead. Lightning flashed, and the bars on the nearest window burst into sizzling, melted stubs of iron.
    Jason flew in like Peter Pan, electricity sparking around him and his gold sword steaming.
    Leo whistled appreciatively. “Man, you just wasted an awesome entrance.”
    Jason frowned. He noticed the hog-tied Kerkopes. “What the—”
    “All by myself,” Leo said. “I’m special that way.”

    “Leo scratched his head. “Well I dunno about Enchiladas—”
    “Enceladus,” Piper corrected.
    “Whatever. But Old Potty Face mentioned another name. Porpoise Fear, or something?”
    “Porphyrion?” Piper asked. ”He was the giant king, I think.”
    Rick Riordan

    “Indeed, "Hera said. ―Porphyrion, the strongest of his kind. Gaea needed a great deal of power to raise him again —my power. For weeks I‘ve grown weaker as my essence was used to grow him a new form."

    “Then there was Nico di Angelo. Dang, that kid gave Leo the freaky-deakies. He sat back in his leather aviator jacket, his black T-shirt and jeans, that wicked silver skull ring on his finger, and the Stygian sword at his side. His tufts of black hair struck up in curls like baby bat wings. His eyes were sad and kind of empty, as if he’d stared into the depths of Tartarus—which he had.”
    Rick Riordan, The House of Hades

    Rick Riordan
    “Correct." Kekrops sounded bitter, like he regretted his decision. "My people were the original Athenians--the gemini."
    "Like your zodiac sign?" Percy asked. "I'm a Leo."
    "No, stupid," Leo said. "I'm a Leo. You're a Percy.”
    Rick Riordan, The Blood of Olympus

    “Oh, by the way…” Jason glanced at Percy. “I resigned my office, gave Frank a field promotion to praetor. Unless you want to contest that ruling.”

    Percy grinned. “No argument here.”

    “Praetor?” Hazel stared at Frank.

    He shrugged uncomfortably. “Well… yeah. I know it seems weird.” She tried to throw her arms around him, then winced as she remembered her busted ribs. She settled for kissing him. “It seems perfect.”

    Leo clapped Frank on the shoulder. “Way to go, Zhang. Now you can order Octavian to fall on his sword.”
    Rick Riordan, The House of Hades

    “As his raft skimmed over the water, taking him back to the mortal world, he understood a line from the Prophecy better-an oath to keep with a final breath.
    He understood how dangerous oaths could be. But Leo didn't care.
    "I'm coming back for you, Calypso," he said to the night wind. "I swear it on the River Styx.”
    Rick Riordan

    “Will they cower?' Kym asked.

    'Tons of cowering! Plus your name in the summer programme. A custom-designed banner. A cabin at Camp Half-Blood. Two shrines. I'll even throw in a Kymopoleia action figure.'

    'No!' Polybotes wailed. 'Not merchandising rights!”

    "Piper!" Jason cried.
    "Monkey!" Frank yelled.
    "Not monkeys," Hazel grumbled. "I think those are dwarfs."
    "Stealing my stuff!" Leo yelled, and ran for the stairs.”
