Ariadne blinked. "You? Got Aphrodite to agree to be your queen?" she asked. "Well. Color me impressed."
Ariadne took a sip of the white wine she had in her hand. "But, if you're serious that you don't want any of the Greek gods in power, I think there's another tactic you're overlooking. We were told whoever finds their sacred place first wins. They get the power. Conversely, if we don't find Olympus, then there's nothing for the Greek gods to rule over. The whole thing becomes a moot point."
"In essence, one good key will be, simply, to let some other pantheon win. Not many Greeks were well-known for their wits, not even among the gods. The squabbling over who should be on the throne will be a decent distraction and will waste time. For those more clever... A few red herrings or deliberate misinterpretation of the clues given will provide enough of a wild goose chase to keep Olympus out of the wrong hands."
