Throughout the book, one sentence can pretty much summarizes the entire book: "Twins snuff out the angel's breath, who holds the key to endless death." This line is part of the prophecy basically summarizes the goal of the seven demigods, which is to rescue Nico and save Rome from the twin giants. This prophecy essentially tells the demigods what they have to do in order to succeed in their quest. Their main quest is to put Gaea back to sleep and save the world from total destruction. After the demigods save Rome and Nico from the giants, they will accomplish the task that Nico was required to do in order to stop the dead from taking over the world: find the door of endless death and close it. Now that I have emphasized on the sentence that summarizes the book, I will move on to talking about most important sentence in the book.
The most important sentence in the book is "The story goes that the Romans stole something important from the Greeks, back in ancient times, when the Romans conquered the Greeks' cities." This one line gives the title of the book. The story goes that the Romans stole something that belonged to Athena and ever since then Athena sends her children to try to find it by giving them the "Mark of Athena". This theft is the reason for the hatred between the Roman and Greek demigods and without them working together, they will not be able to save the world from the wrath of Gaea. So this mini quest that they are doing is to not only close the doors of death, but to restore the peace between the Romans and Greeks.
I think that they will now go to the old god of the sea, Phocys, and see if he will help them save Rome and the twin giants. Though he is a child of Gaea, he doesn't like her, so they are going to go to the god hoping that he will help them defeat Gaea. Then I think that Phocys will actually fight them to see if they are worth the efforts. The demigods will win the bet and then Phocys will have help them. I think then they will voyage to Rome.
So they go to Rome and on the way there, they fight monster and get stuck, which hinders them from accomplishing their task in time. However, they will eventually make their way to Rome and find Nico in time. By that time I expect the giants to be almost done with their task of destroying Rome. But, of course, they will be stopped and then the Greeks will find out that the twins actually stole the item from Athena and that will resolve the problem between the Greeks and the Romans.
