![]() ![]() 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. ![]()
