Ares is the one who helps organize getting Ody back because Athena's battle with Zeus is what truly convinced him to help her.

After Athena passes out from her battle with Zeus, Ares is the one to scoop her up and take care of her. The other gods just stood there staring at her collapsed body.

Also love how it progresses into taking on Poseidon's theme "Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves." only to end with "Mercy? Mercy? My mercy has long since drowned."

Odysseus isn't the man he was before (as is addressed in "Would You Fall in Love with Me Again"). This isn't how it was in the Odyssey, since he literally is disguised as an entirely different person. But I like that it's not literally, only metaphorically

I kinda like that ultimately Tiresias' prophecy in the Underworld saga that "I see a man who gets to make it home alive, but it's no longer you." was a metaphor

Listening to Vengeance Saga on repeat (as you do) and these lyrics from Dangerous are very Tartarus era Percy:

I love the "Get in the water" callback from the Thunder Saga. You have the more cheerful "Now get in the water!" from the siren pretending to be Penelope in "Suffering" and in the Vengeance Saga we now have a more sinister "Get in the water" from Poseidon

Just the idea of using a god's weapons/powers against them. I fully believe Percy would've killed Ahklys is Annabeth wasn't there to hold him back

Reminds me of that one time Percy tortured Ahklys with her own bodily fluids and poisons and thought about how he wanted to see how much misery the goddess of misery could take. Ahklys begs Percy to show her mercy too, iirc

As per usual, a lot of lyrics from this saga are both Rand al'Thor and Percy de Rolo coded to me (and a little bit of Perrin too!) which is exactly what I expected with it being called the Vengeance Saga

Poseidon: After everything you've done, how will you sleep at night?
Odysseus: Next to my wife
Oh, hey Perrin
