Zeus Person Point of View
I sat upon his throne, in the heart of Olympus, troubled. Logically, I should not be fretting. After all, Perseus was a loyal mortal. He would not betray me unless I acted against him. I hoped that he would not discover the transgressions already made against him. My dilemma could be laid out simply. Perseus would not betray me if I did not hurt him, he was a strong and able-bodied leader, and he held immense power which could be turned upon my foes. On the other hand, Perseus was disrespectful towards me and some of the other gods. An annoyance, if he found out what I did to his plus his beloved, he would surely come after me, and he held immense power which could be used against me. On top of that power, he had the respect of the Greeks and Romans, he held the favor of a majority of the gods, both minor and major, and he already disliked me. Now, he didn't hate me per se, just disapproved of a majority of my decisions, along with my womanizing ways. Of course, it wasn't his fault he could not understand my brilliance. The simplest choice available to me was just to simply dispose of the boy. However, it had to be done in a way that seems believable. I would only have to forge some evidence and manage to sway the votes of two or three gods. Poseiden, Hermes, Apollo, Artemis, and Hephaestus would all vote in favor of the boy's survival. Poseiden would vote because Perseus was his son, Hermes because the boy honored Luke, Apollo because he saved his sister, Artemis because she considered him to be a diamond among the dirt, the dirt being men, and Hephaestus would because of various favors Perseus has done for him. Aphrodite could vote for the boy, she is rather fond of him. Demeter would also likely vote for the boy, after all, he has done a lot for them. Ares vote would, almost certainly, be for death, the boy has embarrassed and disrespected him on multiple occasions. Dionysus would vote for the lad's demise as he hates demigods, even if he holds a grudging respect for the boy. Hera would vote for death as she holds a special hatred for him. Athena could vote for the body, after all, Perseus did save her favorite daughter. However, she also disapproved of the relationship between her daughter and the boy. I would most assuredly vote for the boy's destruction if I brought this to the council. Every scheme that I thought up always ended with the boy walking free, and also harboring hatred towards me. Any approach directly would end in ruin, the boy simply had too many allies. An indirect approach, however, would work a lot better. I could simply tell a powerful monster, under threats of violence, of course, to go through the barrier and kill Perseus while he slept. The monster would have to leave evidence that it was it and not a fellow camper who slew their hero. My brilliance astounding me, I flashed to my palace to receive some well-earned rest.
