Sterling Biographies®: Cleopatra: Egypt's Last and Greatest Queen 2009-02-03T00:00:00Z Soon they would use it to destroy Octavian and bring Rome to its knees. Sterling Biographies®: Cleopatra: Egypt's Last and Greatest Queen 2009-02-03T00:00:00Z However, Octavian soon arrived in Rome to collect his inheritance, which he felt included taking over his uncle’s role as leader of the Republic. Sterling Biographies®: Cleopatra: Egypt's Last and Greatest Queen 2009-02-03T00:00:00Z There was nothing for them to do but wait for Octavian’s next move. Sterling Biographies®: Cleopatra: Egypt's Last and Greatest Queen 2009-02-03T00:00:00Z “You heard Reyna talking about the ancient lands. They’re much too dangerous.

Even Octavian couldn’t get around that rule.” The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Octavian turned to face him, but he seemed to be in a trance. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Would he see that Octavia offered his only chance to make peace with Octavian? Sterling Biographies®: Cleopatra: Egypt's Last and Greatest Queen 2009-02-03T00:00:00Z Joseph put Octavian Nothing back in his backpack.

Sterling Biographies®: Cleopatra: Egypt's Last and Greatest Queen 2009-02-03T00:00:00Z “Octavian ...” “I beg of you,” said I, “tell me of the Empire of Oyo.” The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing, Traitor to the Nation, Volume I: The Pox Party 2006-09-12T00:00:00Z “You’re a warrior.

Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Octavian, as the most senior centurion, turned to Percy. The Son of Neptune 2011-10-04T00:00:00Z “Don’t underestimate him. Reyna’s not so bad by herself, but if Octavian shares her power...” The Son of Neptune 2011-10-04T00:00:00Z “Really, Octavian? Maybe harpies are different here, on the Roman side. Ours have just enough intelligence to clean cabins and cook lunches. Do yours usually foretell the future? Do you consult them for your auguries?” The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z A dark silhouette appeared at the top of the ladder, but he was much too big to be Octavian. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Octavian finished it without looking: “An oath to keep with a final breath, and foes bear arms to the Doors of Death. ” The Son of Neptune 2011-10-04T00:00:00Z “Hazel, take him to Temple Hill. Find Octavian. On the way you can answer Percy’s questions. Tell him about the legion.” The Son of Neptune 2011-10-04T00:00:00Z The archers would climb the high ships’ towers to shoot their arrows; slingers would use leather thongs or catapults to launch huge rocks and flaming missiles onto Octavian’s ships. Sterling Biographies®: Cleopatra: Egypt's Last and Greatest Queen 2009-02-03T00:00:00Z No doubt Will Solace thought Nico was a monster now, for letting Octavian kill himself. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Meanwhile the sun climbed in the sky, shining through the broken senate roof and giving Octavian a natural spotlight. The Son of Neptune 2011-10-04T00:00:00Z When they arrived at Actium to set up headquarters at their camp on the south side of the strait, they found Octavian’s army camped on the opposite bank. Sterling Biographies®: Cleopatra: Egypt's Last and Greatest Queen 2009-02-03T00:00:00Z ‘Urn . Dakota shuffled his feet. ‘Even if you get the statue to the hill, what’s to stop Octavian from destroying it once it’s in place? Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z “Reading is but reading, Octavian. We are disappointed in you.” The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing, Traitor to the Nation, Volume I: The Pox Party 2006-09-12T00:00:00Z Many assumed that Mark Antony would claim Caesar’s power for himself because Octavian lacked experience. Sterling Biographies®: Cleopatra: Egypt's Last and Greatest Queen 2009-02-03T00:00:00Z “We need to take her with us—I mean, for her own safety. If Octavian finds out Ella has the Sibylline Books memorized...” The Son of Neptune 2011-10-04T00:00:00Z Octavian had no choice but to sit down and try not to look embarrassed. The Son of Neptune 2011-10-04T00:00:00Z Cleopatra must have had mixed feelings about the renewed alliance with Octavian. Sterling Biographies®: Cleopatra: Egypt's Last and Greatest Queen 2009-02-03T00:00:00Z Joseph looked up from Octavian Nothing when I got there.

Sterling Biographies®: Cleopatra: Egypt's Last and Greatest Queen 2009-02-03T00:00:00Z “The camp is in grave danger,” Octavian said. The Son of Neptune 2011-10-04T00:00:00Z Frank glowered at Octavian, but the centurion’s face was a mask of polite concern. The Son of Neptune 2011-10-04T00:00:00Z “Octavian, have you received any communication from Pro Bono?” The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing, Traitor to the Nation, Volume I: The Pox Party 2006-09-12T00:00:00Z But Octavian had acted like he had some first-class dirt on her. The Son of Neptune 2011-10-04T00:00:00Z Octavian pointed at the pile of gutted stuffed animals. The Son of Neptune 2011-10-04T00:00:00Z Equipped with supplies from Octavian, she embarked on a campaign of her own to reclaim her husband. Sterling Biographies®: Cleopatra: Egypt's Last and Greatest Queen 2009-02-03T00:00:00Z Octavian could not disappoint the Romans, anxious to see the object of their hatred and the cause of their suffering brought before them in chains. Sterling Biographies®: Cleopatra: Egypt's Last and Greatest Queen 2009-02-03T00:00:00Z Octavian’s mark was a harp, the symbol of Apollo.

Sterling Biographies®: Cleopatra: Egypt's Last and Greatest Queen 2009-02-03T00:00:00Z Octavian’s Fury While Mark Antony and Cleopatra hosted lavish parties for their allies in Greece, Octavian struggled in Italy. Sterling Biographies®: Cleopatra: Egypt's Last and Greatest Queen 2009-02-03T00:00:00Z Octavian used Mark Antony’s actions to keep stirring up trouble. Sterling Biographies®: Cleopatra: Egypt's Last and Greatest Queen 2009-02-03T00:00:00Z Meanwhile, she had bigger concerns than Octavian’s petty remarks or Rome’s contempt. Sterling Biographies®: Cleopatra: Egypt's Last and Greatest Queen 2009-02-03T00:00:00Z Gaia had been separated from her source of power, charmed to sleep and then atomized in the combined explosion of Leo’s fire and Octavian’s man-made comet.

Sterling Biographies®: Cleopatra: Egypt's Last and Greatest Queen 2009-02-03T00:00:00Z The kid was almost as pale as Octavian, but with dark eyes and messy black hair. The Son of Neptune 2011-10-04T00:00:00Z ‘Because I have so many amazing qualities to praise! Octavian said he wanted to make the Romans strong again. I said fine! I gave him my blessing.’ Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Octavian knew that strengthening the east and having access to Egypt’s resources made Mark Antony a serious threat. Sterling Biographies®: Cleopatra: Egypt's Last and Greatest Queen 2009-02-03T00:00:00Z Once Jacob had hobbled off, Octavian’s face clouded. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Putting Percy in the Fifth would make him less of a threat, and Octavian liked to keep all his enemies in one place. The Son of Neptune 2011-10-04T00:00:00Z As his support eroded, Octavian lashed out against Mark Antony and Cleopatra. Sterling Biographies®: Cleopatra: Egypt's Last and Greatest Queen 2009-02-03T00:00:00Z “Octavian is right about one thing. We must gain the senate’s approval before we let any of our legionnaires go on a quest—especially one as dangerous as you’re suggesting.” The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Now that Percy had taken away his chance at praetor, Octavian would be looking for other ways to exert influence. The Son of Neptune 2011-10-04T00:00:00Z If Octavian decided to make a grab for sole power over Rome, he would launch an attack by sea. Sterling Biographies®: Cleopatra: Egypt's Last and Greatest Queen 2009-02-03T00:00:00Z Octavian opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
