We also know he is 17 in The Tower of Nero because he’s two months early to New Rome Uni but he has graduated high school. And we know not that much time has passed because it’s January and Percy tells Apollo he’s been gone for 6 months. But somehow in The Hidden Oracle he is 17 and a Senior, apparently having missed all of Junior year. By The Blood of Olympus, he is about to turn 17 (or has turned 17) and has missed all of grade 10. We know that The Lost Hero takes place in December of the same year, so he’s 16 and in grade 10 (and kidnapped). So with that logic, in The Last Olympian he finished grade 9 and is 15 years old (turned 16 by the end of the book). In The Battle of the Labyrinth he went to the grade 9 orientation (where he met Rachel again) and The Last Olympian takes place a year after that, so he was obviously in grade 8 in The Titan’s Curse and before the events in The Battle of the Labyrinth. He also starts The Sea of Monsters in grade 7 and at age 13. He started The Lightning Thief in grade 6 and at age 12. This was sent to me from Hi! 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 Percy Jackson's Greek Gods Percy Jackson's Greek Hereos the sea of monsters the golden fleece europa cadmus helle phrixius chrysomallos So Rick Riordan mistake? I should think so. I decided to research the myth of the Golden Fleece, and it turns out that no one says that Europa and Cadmus rode the Golden Fleece. Is this a mistake or a conflict in myths? Since there are landmarks named after the people in the myths, it appears to be concrete. Forever afterwards it was called the Hellespont, I guess because Hella Stupid would’ve been impolite. The place where Helle died was a narrow channel of water between the Aegean Sea and the Black Sea. “I told you to hang on!”Īfter that, Phrixus dug his hands into the ram’s fleece and wouldn’t let go for anything. “AHHHHHHHH!” Helle, who was not hella good at listening, slipped off the ram’s back and plummeted to her death. “There’s a lot of turbulence over this part of the sea and –” Chrysomallos decided to take Phrixus and Helle as far away as possible so they could start new lives. If the Greeks were willing to falsify prophecies and sacrifice their kids, they didn’t deserve nice things like children and flying golden rams. The ram figured they wouldn’t be safe anywhere in Greece. Phrixus and Helle scrambled onto the ram’s back and off they flew. On pages 778-779 of the e-book we have the story of Nephele’s children: Then I reread Percy Jackson’s Greek Heroes. Still I didn’t think anything was wrong, because Europa could have bee both myths. Now, while rereading this scene, I vaguely remembered that Europa was seduced by Zeus as a bull, and then carried away to a far-off place that the Greeks named Europe. Then I read Percy Jackson’s Greek Gods and Percy Jackson’s Greek Heroes, which gave me an epic crash course. When I first read the books, I didn’t think twice about this because I wasn’t a Greek mythology expert. Europa fell off and died along the way, but that’s not important.” So Zeus sent this magical flying ram with golden wool, which picked them up in Greece and carried them all the way to Asia Minor.
The real story of the Fleece: there were these two children of Zeus, Cadmus and Europa, okay? They were about to get offered up as human sacrifices, when they prayed to Zeus to save them. In The Sea of Monsters on pages 86-87, Annabeth is explaining the myth of the Golden Fleece to Percy:
#Zeus poseidon and hades vs kronos sea of monsters series#
If I didn’t decide to pick up Percy Jackson’s Greek Heroes after rereading the whole Percy Jackson and the Olympians series then I totally wouldn’t have seen this.
