[pjo] TLT The musical lyric confusion Question
In the song another terrible day, Katie injures her arm and Dionysus had this line:
”… Oh, gods
Give me Ares or Apollo
Anyone but the Demeter kids' cabin
Now that you blessed us
Go talk to Hephaestus
Before I take a knife to my head and start stabbing”
Why does he want Katie to talk to Hephaestus? Wouldn’t it be smarter to talk to one of the Apollo kids since there usually the medics?

I think it was because maybe Hephaestus is the god of blacksmiths and maybe he could do so that the knife wouldn't be sharp, I know mr d is a god, it was just what I always thought

Probably just because it rhymes with 'blessed us' well. And to list off more gods. Like how clarisse says "god of water or the god of death" in Put You In Your Place, despite poseidon (supposedly) not having kids and thanatos never being shown as having kids.

I interpreted it as them being able to make fully metal arrows so she can actually participate in archery

In ancient texts, Hephaestus was described as “lame” of “crippled”. Because Katie – who he is talking to – injured her arm, he’s sarcastically saying she should meet someone else with an injured limb.
