I don’t know if you ever discussed this, but there’s an error about Percy’s years in high school. ) rickriordanmistakes rick riordan Percy Jackson and the Olympians The Heroes of Olympus The Titan's Curse The Battle of the Labyrinth the last olympian the son of neptune Nico di Angelo Hazel Levesque the house of hades Thanks for sharing! This was so much fun to compile. If anyone can find me that so I can add it to the post, that would be amazing! The one thing I couldn’t find was the actual quote where Hazel calls Nico her older brother. If he was born in 1932 then Hazel is older by Nico in year. It also contradicts the fact that Nico could’ve been born in 1932 like it says in The House of Hades, or in 1924 like Rick said. That doesn’t mean he has to be a few years younger than Hazel, because we know both were taken out of time for quite a while. However, this theory contradicts the piece of information in the last bullet, that Nico was born a few years after Hazel. This could be why Hazel referred to him as her older brother. It would seem, with just the birth years alone, that Nico is in fact older by year than by actual age. He’d been born only a few years after Hazel, and had been locked away in a magic hotel for decades.” (pg. Later in The Son of Neptune, it says about Nico, “He was also a kid from the 1940s. ![]() *From these facts so far, Hazel is actually, as said, around a year and a month older than Nico physically. In accordance with our deductions so far, Nico should be 13 when he sees Percy again. The next time we see Nico is in The Son of Neptune, which, again, starts in late June, almost a year since The Last Olympian ends. Being that a year has passed since Percy’s assumption in The Battle of the Labyrinth, Nico should be 12 at the end of The Last Olympian. The Last Olympian ends with Percy’s birthday, August 18th. Percy sees Nico in the Iris message and makes this assumption in June (pg 1). In The Battle of the Labyrinth Percy says, “Nico was only ten, or maybe eleven by now, but he looked older.” (pg 40) This still makes sense, as Nico had not turned 11 yet when Percy last saw him. Because Nico’s birthday is January, we can assume that he was either 10 or 11 at the time. At the time of the meeting, Percy mentions that it was right before winter break (pg 1), which typically starts in the middle of December. In The Titan’s Curse, Grover tells Percy that Nico is ten years old (pg 7). *Special thank you to bringing this point up. He also tells Jason that he was “maybe six” around 1938, making his birth year actually around 1932, not 1924 (pg. Another contradiction to Nico’s birth year is in The House of Hades, where Nico says that Hades and his mother met in Venice, Italy in the 1930s (pg. According to Rick, Nico was born January 28th, 1924. However, earlier in the book Percy mentions her has “maybe thirteen” (pg. ![]() Logically, Hazel should be 14 at this point. When Percy meets Hazel, it is closer to the end of June (pg 87 of the e-book). Hazel mentions that she joined Camp Jupiter in September (pg 99 of the e-book). It also says that this date was the last day she lived in New Orleans. That would mean that her birth year is 1928. Hazel turned 13 on December 17th, 1941, as explicitly mentioned in The Son of Neptune (pg 144 of the e-book). :) But I never thought to compare his age with Hazel’s age! Hello! I always knew there was something fishy with Nico’s age, but I was too lazy to calculate and actually figure out what the problem was.
