Yes. But the "his" pronoun is kind of critical.

It was all in the wording of the Theron line. The riddle was written correctly.

If you swap the end of the line around a bit, then, yes, it'd be very different.

Thanks all for trying... maybe I need a chart, 'cause I still don't see it. I guess I can't win them all...

Okay, I believe they messed up the riddle, but actually there -is- a solution.

Clue 1) Xatheus: I'm related to Theron in the same way as Theron is to you

Clue 2) Thello: I'm related to you in the same way as Theron is to his father

We know Xatheus is Thello's father (Clue 2).

Who is Theron then? Theron -could be- Xatheus' father-in-law.
If Theron (after the death of his first wife) later married Thello's daughter,
then Thello would be Theron's father-in-law (satisfying Clue 1).

That would then make Theron Iorus' grandfather on his mother's side!
(and a dirty old man).

This riddle made me grumpy. Even after a few days, we still really can't figure it out, and it seems that it was faulty. So who wins? The people that gave the wrong answer that Nevrax thinks is right?
