Ok, let me explain the First Great Prophecy for a second. The prophecy only effected the Greek demigod children. It was about how Percy and the Greek demigods had to defend Olympus from the armies of Kronos. Lines like "See the world in endless sleep," and "Reach 16 against all odds," only effect Percy (who just turned 16) and New York itself (which was placed under a sleeping spell). The Romans may of also had their own Great Prophecy, but it would have been about attacking Mount Othrys, Kronos' stronghold. However, in this new series, the two camps have to team up to defeat Gaea, so of course they would have the same prophecy, they start at different ends but the prophecy is taking them to the same place.
