Sorry this is not another chapter, but while I was researching for the next chapter I stumbled upon something very interesting. I mean VERY INTERESTING. I came up with a new theory! I really wanted to share this with the people reading this fic to me this makes a whole lot of sense.
I was researching for my story and then I saw something that made me come up with a new theory. This is going to be long but I really want to share it. It's regarding the theory of who will be sacrificed to raze Gaea.
I have this theory of mine. You know the prophesy where to demigods have to be sacrificed and die? I think it's going to be Jason and Piper. Most people think its going to be Frank and Hazel but here is my theory.
I think Jason is like a parallel of Mark Anthony. Mark Anthony left Rome for Egypt and married a 'foreign' queen. The senate accused him of going 'native' and betraying Rome. He committed suicide because he had thought Cleopatra had died. When Cleopatra found this out she had went insane. When Octavian captured them he had planned to parade her around in Rome. But before that she had committed suicide.
Cleopatra is like a parallel of Piper. Here's Cleopatra's description.
"For she was a woman of surpassing beauty, and at that time, when she was in the prime of her youth, she was most striking; she also possessed a most charming voice and knowledge of how to make herself agreeable to everyone. Being brilliant to look upon and to listen to, with the power to subjugate everyone, even a love-sated man already past his prime, she thought that it would be in keeping with her role to meet Caesar, and she reposed in her beauty all her claims to the throne." - Cassius Dio
Rather, what ultimately made Cleopatra attractive were her wit, charm and "sweetness in the tones of her voice."
Does that remind you of anyone? Also Mark Antony and Cleopatra where defeated by Mark's political rival and arch enemy Octavian. Who then was made the first emperor of Rome and sole leader by the senate. Jason and Octavian are enemies and also maybe previously political rivals because Jason was the former praetor and Octavian was running for the position. So my theory is Jason and Piper defeated by CJ on Octavian's orders and the senate proclaims Octavian as the sole leader of the Romans. Most people presume Jason is based on the mythical Jason but I think it is actually Mark Anthony. I don't know where Reyna comes in maybe Octavian assassinates her or plots against her,seizes her power (which he already has) or puts her on trial for befriending the Greeks.
Ironically Cleopatra is Greek. So that's my theory, when I first read about Octavian his persistence for power is phenomenal. Emperor Augustus was once also a was the head of the roman religion before he was proclaimed emperor. Since we where introduced to him in the books I always thought he was going to seize power somewhere along the series. A man who does want power and not getting it. While Reyna was trying not to let him have it? There must be some sort of purpose. Who knows maybe he will force Reyna to be his consort. That would be weird.
What are your thoughts?
