Kronos Always Gives Up?

Summary of the Chapters

Percy gets out of the Underworld and meets the half-bloods at the Empire State Building with the purpose to also meet Zeus and the gods. Percy had a fight against the titan Kronos and after a moment of fight, Percy made the titan give up and get out of there. Prometheus told Percy that they have to give up in their mission of destroying the titans because they will die and the Olympus will be destroyed and if they fight or not had nothing to do with that. The half-bloods and a lot of centaurs from Chiron attacked Kronos again and he had to give up again.

Kronos was intelligent and used a spell to get some demigods fooled and get them on their side.
"He mounted his horse, whirled around, and galloped back to Brooklyn, followed by his warriors."

Final Thoughts & Comments

Kronos is a titan and Percy a half-blood, but still Percy can fight him having that big disadvantage. Kronos created a spell to make some of the half.bloods change to his side and help him fight against the other half-bloods. At some times I think that Kronos is a coward because he always escapes when he is at risk of being defeated. Also, he can be viewed as someone intelligent because he knows exactly at which moment he can be destroyed and just escapes to protect himself from the danger that in this case would be Percy and the half-bloods.
