8th Hero of Olympus wrote: Oh, before I forget... I found more evidence for my theory... In The Lost Hero, Hera states that the Seven "must be the  seven greatest demigods of the age "... As a son of one of the Big Three, Nico is an extremely powerful demigod, and even Jason is afraid of him, and admits to being less powerful... Hence, Nico clearly is one of the "greatest of the age", and not including him in the Prophecy would not make sense. Well, it would depend on what you mean by "greatest". Greatest doesn't have to be the strongest or the most feared. For example, Piper is neither one of the strongest or the most feared of the age, but is one of the 7. Greatest may refer to those who have achieved the greatest feats and those who have the largest potential to do so. Annabeth has achieved greater feats than Nico has, excluding the raising the dead thing Nico does.
