Oh yeah the classic quests are more like, assisting the gods with random stuff they can't do themselves due to laws or are too busy/lazy doing themselves. I feel like the quest stuff wasn't the problem itself, it was the monsters and lack of proper education. Actually, forbidding them after the disaster that was the Luke quest seems like the right call. ITs weird how, after Percy had to do the Bolt quest, they are suddenly all back on the table, like lets face it that quest was also a total shitshow on multiple levels and all quests following are high level stuff. Percy and co. managing making it through all these is quite insane as it is no doubt. ITs both interesting and a little jarring to see them doing 'normal'-level kind of quests in the Senior Year books now, after everything that came before.
Yeah, like some of these monsters odn't even kill demigods for food (MEdusa, Krusty, etc) so yeah, def. Its also worth to note how, as much as the monsters can be considered the villains, hardly a demigod would show any hesistation to kill whatever monster they encounter so that makes it a bit mor even I guess. Understandable why they'd like to join Kronos side if that means less danger for them then. Lots of things in the background we don't really see.
Sure, if I were a demigod I'd try to get out of that place ASAP for multiple reasons so yeah. There are certainly divine parents who support their children working with them like Hekate does with Alabster, or Hades wher eNico sort of gets a job in the underworld, so yeah. Can totally see Poseiodn giving Percy something to do in Atlantis. Hermes could make use of some delivery help for sure, guy is laways overworked.
Daedalus doesn't count IMO as he cheated death and is not even human/mortal per definition at that point, he's as ancient as the gods. Circe is, in fact, a full goddess, and never was a demigod to begin with (as a daughter of two Titans). And yeah, Halcyon is an exceptional case, but then it was bc he's literally locke din that house and cursed so yeah. ANd its not like guy was having a good time either.
