This prediction is the most grave and important yet. Please tell me what you think and if anything is off on it. I really hope something is.
Disclaimer: I actually have no idea who thought of this. I found it on Google and decided to share it.
"When Orpheus' wife, Eurydice, was killed by the bite of a serpent, he went down to the underworld to bring her back. His songs were so beautiful that Hades finally agreed to allow Eurydice to return to the world of the living. However, Orpheus had to meet one condition: he must not look back as he was conducting her to the surface. Just before the pair reached the upper world, Orpheus looked back, and Eurydice slipped back into the netherworld once again" -Encyclopedia Mythica
Look on the cover of The House of Hades. What is Percy doing? Looking back. And there is white stuff on the bottom. Could that be Annabeth slipping into the netherworld.
There is a chance I'm wrong. In the last chapter, I said that it might not be Percy. There is the wrong sword and eye color. But what if the cover artist isn't very good? What if the shadow in Tartarus cause Percy's eyes to look that way. What if that is the way Rick pictures Riptide?
But I'm not Rick. I have no idea if that is right. Maybe Percy was looking back by chance. But I don't think so. Rick is writing a book about Greek myth from Percy's POV. Everything on the cover should mean something.
I can conclude that Percy is following Orpheus' mistake. What do you think?
