Elisson is one of the potamoi (river gods), specifically the River Elisson. He wears a tank top and loose pants and has blue skin and long hair which is kept in a man bun. The Elisson river was originally located in Greece and its crystal-clear waters have the power to wash anything clean. Elisson eventually got tired of people polluting his river and moved it to a location people wouldn't expect: the Saw Mill River in Yonkers, New York. Even monsters, especially horned serpents, come to bathe in its waters. He's implemented a schedule of which days certain types of creatures and beings can come to the river. Elisson has a strong distaste for demigods (other than his own) and is also known for his strong sarcasm. He likes tea and teaches secret yoga classes for water spirits.

Elisson's cabin is filled with blue and turquoise colors and snakeskin patterns. As soon as people walk into the cabin, they are required to take their shoes and socks off and put them in the cubbies along the wall. They're then given a basin of water from the river to clean their hands and feet. Attached to the cabin is a bathroom with a tub and all kinds of soaps, shampoos, and bath salts.

Demigod children of Elisson have the same powers as children of other river and freshwater deities. They have canteens they carry with them that contain their father's waters, which can be sprinkled on a person or area to cleanse them from disease, poison, or possession. They tend to have improved health and stamina due to their emphasis on cleanliness and hygiene. Not surprisingly, they tend to befriend and date members of Hygeia's cabin, in addition to demigod children of other potamoi and water deities. They're also very strong environmentalists and climate activists and will often volunteer with wildlife rehabilitation and cleaning trash and pollution.

Opora is a minor Greek goddess of fruit and the autumn harvest. She doesn't have an exact Roman equivalent but Pomona is similar. Opora attracted the attention of the star god Sirius, who is associated with the "dog days" of summer. He burned hotter and hotter as his love for Opora remained unrequited, scorching the earth. Eventually mortals cried out and the north wind god Boreas sent his sons to bring Opora to Sirius, making the story a sort of parallel to the one of Helios' son Phaethon.

Opora's cabin is full of fruit snacks, candy, fruit itself, and lots of fruity drinks and smoothies. There is a tree that has all kinds of fruit growing on it, while many different birds inhabit the tree. A small fruit garden is attached to the back of the cabin. An orangutan named Amber watches over the cabin. Opora's children tend to eat healthy and many are vegetarian. They can also identify which fruits are edible and which ones are poison, though they themselves are immune to all poisonous fruit. Opora's children often hang out with demigod children of Dionysus, Demeter, and Graces. among others. They carry a bag of seeds in their pockets which can grow quickly to provide fruit.

Opora's children can inflict scurvy on enemies, and they often have weapons dipped in poison. They can also summon bees and other pollinators, and some can even turn into fruit-eating creatures. They are also decent healers due to their knowledge of fruits and herbs.

Myiagros, also called Myiodes or Myiakores, is a minor god of flies that was worshipped in parts of ancient Greece. He is invoked to keep flies away from animal corpses that are being offered as sacrifices to the gods. Sometimes his name or a similar one were used as epithets for Zeus, Apollo, or Heracles.

While some civilizations like Egypt and Mesopotamia viewed flies positively as messengers of the death god or the souls of the departed, the Greeks had a more negative view. They were associated with disease and impurity in addition to being annoying. There are stories of Zeus and Hera sending flies to torment individuals they don't like, and Selene once turned her rival for the love of Endymion into a fly.

Myiagros' cabin is simple on the outside, made of dark grey stone and circled by a stone walkway with fly mosaics. To the left of the cabin is a Bradford Pear Tree, which is a type of tree that smells bad and is pollinated by flies instead of bees or butterflies. Outsiders assume the cabin to be dirty and smelly inside with tons of the bugs flying around. In actuality the cabin is quite clean there are usually no more flies than an average household. As a god of purification, Myiagros' cabin is also protected by strong religious magic and sacred spells, making its inhabitants safe from ghosts, demons, and bad dreams or visions. The walls inside the cabin are decorated with various 15th-16th century portraits and still lifes featuring a musca depicta ("painted fly"). There's also a special tropical greenhouse attached to the cabin that contains a corpse flower (titan arum) affectionately nicknamed Beelzebub as well as other carrion flowers. As repayment to Myiagros for a past favor, Demeter blessed the titan arum with special vitality, making it grow bigger and more colorful than usual. It normally takes these giant flowers 7-10 years to bloom, but Demeter's gift enables it to bloom every three years.

Myiagros' demigod children tend to be smaller/shorter than average. They have a "super fly" sense of fashion and often rival Aphrodite's kids when it comes to outfits and accessories. All demigod children children of Myiagros own at least one piece of jewelry featuring a fly encased in amber. They're also very spiritual and have a strong respect for the gods and the dead. They understand the disdain people have for flies while recognizing their importance as pollinators. Myiagros' children tend to befriend demigod children of Hades and other death and decay-related deities, with whom they enjoy watching zombie movies and TV shows.

Demigod children of Myiagros are immune to diseases transmitted through insects, and horrible smells don't bother them. They can mentally communicate with flies and use them as messengers to each other, as well as summon clouds of flies to help in battle. They're very quiet and observant of their surroundings and can blend in easily when in large crowds, moving around unnoticed. For these reasons Myiagros' children make good spies and watchers. They're also more resistant to enchantments and better at sensing danger, making them good opponents of enemies who rely mostly on magic. Myiagros' powers of purification can be channeled by his children to shoot an aura from themselves that blasts back monsters and demons that are nearby. They're also fast, but otherwise don't have much advantage in physical, hand-to-hand combat. Snow, ice, and cold temperatures are their greatest weakness.

Antheia is a minor goddess of flower wreaths, blossoms, gardens and love as well as vegetation, marshes and swamps. As a flowery goddess of beauty and love she's naturally one of Aphrodite's attendants and is sometimes considered to be one of the Charites. Golden colored natural things like honey, myrrh, and amber are associated with her. In ancient times her center of worship was on the island of Crete, and in the present day she often spends time in the Everglades and the Louisiana bayous and other wetlands. As a result, her demigod children are often from the South and can usually speak Spanish or French dialects in addition to English.

The cabin is green with various swamp creatures painted on the outside, flower garlands around the windows, and an especially intricate wreath on the door. Inside there are pots of water filled with swamp plants, and the air always has a floral scent. The fabrics and floor are decorated with lotus, water lily, and cattail motifs. Flower garlands hang from the ceiling, and personalized wreaths hang above each bed. There is a pet flamingo named Florianus who lives outside the cabin and can communicate with its inhabitants.

When Antheia claims her children, a floral wreath symbol appears above their head, which then bursts into a cloud of flower petals. Demigod children of Antheia are often blond and always have amber colored eyes. The cabin's counselor wears a golden necklace decorated with alligator teeth. They love citrus drinks and iced tea as well as Cajun and Caribbean food. They're very attractive and charming and enjoy wearing gold jewelry. However, they're less vain than other children of love/beauty deities and aren't afraid to get their hands dirty due to their connection to swamps. Antheia's children tend to be artsy and creative and are good gardeners. They also tend to be avid environmentalists and conservationists and nature photography is often a hobby. They enjoy visiting New Orleans for Mardi Gras. They get along well with children of other love or nature deities. They often make wreaths to decorate for holidays or to donate to cemeteries for Veteran's Day.

Antheia's children have some healing ability due to their knowledge of plants and herbs. If they're fighting and there are many flowering plants nearby, the demigods can use the pollen to mess with their foes. They're resistant to mosquitoes and can send clouds of them to attack opponents, as well as summon nearby swamp creatures. These demigods can also control any nearby mud in various ways to attack opponents, but swamp mud is especially strong.

A child of Antheia can enter any building that has a wreath hanging on the front door. This only works if the wreath was placed there by an owner of inhabitant of the building. In modern times the practice of honoring the dead with wreaths at their tombs has allowed Antheia to slowly develop a weak connection to the dead. Her children can't summon the dead, but if they visit a grave of someone whose tombstone has a wreath or floral decoration carved on it then they can speak with the person's spirit, though they can't see it.

The Tritopatores ("thrice-ancestors") are a trio of benevolent Athenian wind gods associated with childbirth, marriage, and the home. Their names are Amalceides, Protocles, and Protocleon, and they're said to be children of Gaia and Helios, or possibly even older. They are ancestor deities that Athenians and other people in Attica prayed to when they prepared to marry or wanted children. They watch over the family and protect the household.

Demigod children of the Tritopatores are always born on Wednesday (because it's the third day of the week) in a location that has the number 3 in either the street address or zip code. Their social security number, license plate number, phone number, etc. always has at least one 3 in it. Children of the Tritopatores are more likely to be born with Down syndrome, since this happens from having a third copy of chromosome 21. When a child of one of the Tritopatores is claimed, a blue triangle with the letter T inside of it appears above their head, accompanied by a soft breeze.

Adult demigod children of the Tritopatores almost always get married and have big families. Daughters of the Tritopatores are three times more likely to give birth to triplets than regular mortals. If a child of the Tritopatores goes through two unhappy/unsuccessful marriages then their third marriage will be blessed with joy, love, and prosperity. They have a strong interest in ancestry and frequently become genealogists or have medical jobs related to genetics. They often find themselves living or working on the third floor of their building.

The children of the Tritopatores always incorporate the number 3 into their usernames and passwords without even realizing it. Their favorite foods are "three cheese" entrees and "triple chocolate" desserts. They often date or befriend demigods from the Athena cabin. They also get along well with other demigod children of domestic deities like Eileithyia and Hymenaeus, and they hold Hera in high respect as well. They frequently visit Hestia while she tends the hearth fire.

The Tritopatore's cabin resembles the Athena cabin and is painted in shades of light blue on both the inside and outside. The flag of Athens flies above the cabin, and the roof tiles change color to match the clouds in the sky. All demigod children of the Triopatores have free access to Ancestry.com and other genealogy sites. Above each of their beds is a group of picture frames that contain portraits of famous or important ancestors. There is always a pleasant, gentle breeze blowing inside. At one end of the cabin is a big widescreen TV, which they use to host movie trilogy marathon parties. There are three chairs in the room, which can magically expand to fit three people.

Demigod children of the Tritopatores can multiply non-magical items into three, and can also create two temporary copies of themselves. They can fly and levitate and have some control over the winds, but aren't strong enough to summon or control storms. By listening to the whispers of the wind, they can hear things that are out of earshot. They are resistant to love magic, and the some especially strong individuals can cause opponents to be inflicted with birthing pains. Children of the Tritopatores have their powers, strength, and stamina increased if they are within a city, and are even stronger when they're inside a home.

Leucothea, the white goddess of the sea, is one of the rare examples of a mortal who was turned into a god. Originally a woman named Ino, she was a princess of Thebes and the sister of Dionysus' mother Semele. Together with her sisters Agave and Autonoe she raised the infant Dionysus after his mother's death, which earned them Hera's wrath. Hera caused Ino's husband Athamas to be overcome with madness, resulting in him killing their son Learchus and then chasing Ino and their other son Melicertes. Out of desperation she leapt into the sea, but the gods took pity on them and turned them into sea gods.

Ino became Leucothea which translates as "white goddess" while Melicertes became Palaemon. Due to her past life as a mortal, Leucothea is especially sympathetic to sailors and was one of the deities the Greeks prayed to for protection at sea. She appeared to Odysseus during the Odyssey, lending him her veil and instructing him how to trust the waves to take him to the land of the Phaeaceans.

Ino's transformation into a sea goddess makes sense, given her ancestry. Through her father Cadmus she is a great-granddaughter of Poseidon, as well as the river god Nilius (the Nile river) and the Oceanid Nephele. Through her mother Harmonia she is a granddaughter of Aphrodite, who has strong associations with the sea.

As the aunt of the god Dionysus, Ino-Leucothea was one of the first Maenads, and a sisterhood of Maenads at Thebes called the House of Ino traced their descent from her. The Greeks held festivals called Inoa in honor of her, and she and her son were sometimes depicted in temples of Poseidon and Dionysus. The Romans identified her with their goddess Mater Matuta, a fate goddess associated with dawn and the sea. As a goddess who can save the life of sailors the Greeks also associated Leucothea with Tyche (Roman Fortuna) the goddess of fate and luck, and later with foreign deities such as Isis.

Leucothea's cabin is made of the whitest marble and the inside is decorated with lace, seashells, and pearl. Everything inside is white and can never be stained. Leucothea's demigod children are often born with leucism or albinism. They can emit a bright flash of white light to briefly blind opponents and are able to look at bright lights without it hurting their eyes. As children of a sea deity they can also breathe underwater. They always carry sunscreen with them since their skin is especially susceptible to sunburns. When a demigod child of Leucothea is claimed a white seashell appears above them and their clothes briefly turn white.

The Charites (Roman Gratiae-Graces) are a trio of goddesses of beauty, fun, happiness, and festivities. The elder Charites are daughters of Zeus and the Oceanid Eurynome, and are part of Aphrodite's retinue. The leader, Aglaia (glory, radiance), is also known as Charis (grace) and Cale/Calleis (beauty) and is the second wife of Hephaestus. She sometimes acts as Aphrodite's messenger. Her sisters are Thalia (abundance, banquets) and Euphrosyne (joy, cheer).

The Charites' demigod children have spread beauty and joy in the world throughout history, either through their own actions or by serving as inspiration for others. They are attractive and tend to have great artistic qualities. These qualities make them frequent companions of demigod children of the Muses, as well as Apollo and Aphrodite.

Aristaeus is the son of Apollo and the huntress Cyrene, and the god of beekeeping. He's also associated with many rustic and pastoral arts and crafts, which he is said to have learned from his aunts and uncles and then passed on to humans. He married Autonoë, daughter of Cadmus of Thebes, and their son was the hunter Actaeon who was transformed into a stag and torn apart by his own hunting dogs after seeing Artemis naked. Aristaeus accidentally caused the death of Orpheus' wife Eurydice when she stepped on a snake while he was chasing her.

Aristaeus' cabin at Camp Half-Blood is warm and cozy, with and endless supply of honey and a beehive outside the back.

Following the deaths of his son Actaeon and later his mortal wife Autonoë, Aristaeus retreated from the world for many years. But a simultaneous decline in bee health and populations and increased interest in amateur beekeeping in recent decades has caused Aristaeus to begin mingling with mortals once again.

Aristaeus' demigod children are good with words and speeches. They have a strong work ethic and also have faster reflexes, even for demigods. Bees are associated with prophecy and as grandchildren of Apollo, these demigods have a limited degree of foresight, often being able to anticipate opponents' moves.
