![]() 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. Anyone have any thoughts? rickriordanmistakes rick riordan Percy Jackson and the Olympians The lightning thief percy jackson the trials of apollo the hidden oracle Leo Valdez apollo names in percy jackson do names have power? submission Thank you for sharing! This is definitely a thought-provoker. ![]() ![]() Like she wasn’t nervous that the giant would jump on her right then even though her friends said his name. I even think Piper wasn’t nervous about Leo and Jason mentioning the name of the giant that was threatening her. Like did the Titan’s War change everything and now saying monsters’ or people’s names don’t mean a comment: I always wondered this too! In the beginning it was taboo to even bring up someone’s or a monster’s name in conversation, but as the series progressed they were throwing out names left and right without a single concern. Even Percy and Leo joked about Polyphemus in The Hidden Oracle at the end of the book when they were all discussing what to do next with Apollo. Just decided to start re-reading The Lightning Thief again after reading The Hidden Oracle and one thing that annoys me is how everyone seems afraid to mention monsters’ names in the very beginning and keeps saying that names have powers but as the story continues, they become more lax about saying monsters’ names.
