Apollo is embarrassed by the attention of some female campers, and he says, “My face burned.“To my teenage self, our romance felt like something that I’d watched in a movie a long time ago-a movie my parents wouldn’t have allowed me to see.” When he meets each of them, he remembers the romantic relationships that he had with their parents.

Apollo encounters some of his demigod children at camp Half-Blood.The other love was Daphne, whom he dreams of and describes as having, “those lips I had never kissed but never stopped dreaming of.” Due to losing these loves, he swears off marriage as others “had never possessed my heart” as his true loves once had.

One of his loves was Hyacinthus, a strong hero who happened to be a man. Both of his relationships ended in tragedy.

There is no way to punish an immortal god, right? That is what almighty Apollo, god of the sun, thought, but he is quickly proven wrong as his father, Zeus, casts him down to the mortal world as a powerless, friendless, and-even worse-ugly sixteen-year-old boy named Lester Papadopoulos.
