'The only living son of...'


I am probably just missing something, can someone explain why Tyson doesn't count? Is it that he has to be part human because they didn't say that when they went through the prophecy, or right before Thalia comes back.

reply

Yes, Percy is a 'half blood' of Poseidon, Tyson is not part human like Percy.

reply

Also in the books they say
"A half-blood of the eldest gods,
Shall reach 16 against all odds."

Tyson is the younger brother of Percy so that would be why Tyson isn't the one in the prophecy.

reply

What the first reply said. Percy was the only living half-blood meaning part human part god Tyson is Poseidon's son but his mother was a sea nymph I believe not human so not a half blood.

reply

In other words, half-blood= demigod from mythology.

Tyson is a cyclops, not a demigod, so that's why he is disqualified from the prophecy.
