History

Birth and Rescue

Poseidon was the 2d male and fifth kid of Kronos, the Titan King of Mount Othrys, and his sister-married woman Rhea, born afterward his sisters Hestia, Demeter, and Hera, and his elder brother Hades. Since Poseidon was a god (a member of a more beautiful and powerful race of immortals than the Titans), Kronos, fearing that Poseidon would i day overpower him, chop-chop proceeded to consume him whole besides. Poseidon, thus, spent his childhood undigested in his father's breadbasket forth with his sisters, and elder brother. As a result, Kronos became known as "Male monarch Cannibal." Rhea pleaded with Kronos to spare their children simply with no success, since even Kronos' great love for Rhea was not enough to overpower his selfish and evil nature. Withal, Rhea soon gave nascency to her terminal kid, Zeus, who she secretly raised on Crete, far away from Mountain Othrys.

Afterward growing upwards, Zeus successfully infiltrated Kronos' Palace on Mount Othrys as the Titan Rex's purple cup bearer. Poseidon was finally released by Zeus during the final drinking contest that Kronos had with his Titanic brothers and nephews. Zeus poured an extremely powerful emetic (fabricated from nectar mixed with mustard) into Kronos' goblet, which acquired the Titan Male monarch to gorge all of the contents of his breadbasket, in reverse society of swallowing: first the boulder, and so Poseidon, followed past Hades, Hera, Demeter, and Hestia. All of them had been growing undigested in Kronos's stomach, being gods. He too used powerful knockout potions on the rest of the titans so that they would not wake up before the gods could escape.

Zeus quickly introduced himself to his elderberry siblings, and all of them (including Poseidon) promptly escaped Mount Othrys, earlier their Titanic uncles and cousins came to their senses. In Zeus' Cave, at the base of Mount Ida, Poseidon happily reunited with his dear mother Rhea, who tearfully embraced him. Soon thereafter, Poseidon and the other gods accepted Zeus as their leader, and reached a unanimous consensus on declaring state of war against their tyrannical father. Yet, since the Titans were well-armed, and the gods still had no weapons or feel, Poseidon agreed to assistance Zeus release their Elder Cyclopes and Hekatonkheire uncles from Tartarus first.

Rescuing the Elder Cyclopes and Hekatonkheires

Poseidon'due south elder brother Hades, who was very skilled in navigating under the earth, was able to atomic number 82 them all into Tartarus (through a network of Underworld tunnels). There, imprisoned in the maximum-security zone, surrounded by huge bronze walls, and a lava moat, guarded fierce demons, were the Elderberry Cyclopes and Hekatonkheires. Their guardian, Kampê, was the most ferocious and fearsome monster in all of Tartarus, and even Poseidon, Hades, and Zeus initially shuddered with horror when they saw the infernal monster for the first time. However, the gods overcame their fear, and were able to sneak in. Zeus managed to talk to the Cyclopes, Brontes, and convinced him to forge powerful weapons for him and his siblings behind Kampê'southward dorsum. The iii Elder Cyclopes forged three incredibly powerful weapons: the Master Commodities (for Zeus), the Trident (for Poseidon), and the Helm of Darkness (for Hades). With these new weapons, Zeus destroyed Kampê, and Poseidon shattered the chains of the Elder Cyclopes and Hekatonkheires, releasing them. Later, Hades safely guided his siblings and uncles back out of Tartarus. In return, for their release, all vi of Poseidon'due south uncles agreed to fight on his side in the upcoming war with the Titans.

The First Titanomachy

Soon after their return from Tartarus, Poseidon and his siblings officially declared war on Kronos and the other Titans, which resulted in the terrifying 10-year-long Titanomachy. The Titans initially had the upper hand, since they were much more experienced warriors while the gods had very little experience fighting. Even so, equally the years of the War passed, the gods quickly became skilled warriors as well, and with the help of their new extremely powerful weapons, too as the assistance of the Elder Cyclopes and Hekatonkheires, the gods finally prevailed. Poseidon himself proved to be a very dangerous and ferocious warrior, and greatly contributed to the ultimate downfall of Kronos and his Titanic followers.

While preparing for the final battle of the War, Poseidon and his siblings ascended to Mount Olympus (the tallest mountain in Greece after Mount Orthys). During the final battle, Zeus used his Master Bolt to shear off the peak of Mount Othrys, and hurl Kronos from his Blackness Throne, defeating the Titan Male monarch. Shortly thereafter, the gods invaded the ruins of Mountain Orthys, and finally overwhelmed Atlas, Hyperion, Iapetus, Krios, and Koios.

In the aftermath of the battle, the Elder Cyclopes chained up all of the defeated Titans, while the Hekatonkheires forced them to kneel before Poseidon, Zeus, and Hades. Zeus took his male parent'south scythe, and sliced Kronos into a thousand pieces, before casting him into Tartarus, along with the rest of his followers (except for General Atlas, who was forced to concord the Sky).

Gaining the Oceans and Seas

The gods chose Mount Olympus as their official residence, and the Elder Cyclopes built magnificent palaces at that place for them all. As a issue, the gods started to phone call themselves the Olympians. Shortly thereafter, Poseidon had a private meeting with his brothers Hades and Zeus, and the three brothers agreed to divide the world betwixt themselves. Although information technology was Hades' birthright (as Kronos' eldest son) to be named his father's successor, he agreed to separate the Titan Male monarch's erstwhile domain with his brothers. Hades received the Underworld, Poseidon seized the seas, and Zeus claimed the heavens as his domain. Presently after this division, the three mighty sons of Kronos came to be known equally "The Big Iii." Notwithstanding, Zeus' authorization was still recognized as superior to that of his brothers, due to him releasing them from Kronos, and he therefore became the King of Mount Olympus too every bit the Olympians.

Fifty-fifty so, information technology was axiomatic that there was tension between Poseidon and Zeus, for though the former tried to follow the latter's orders, he yet found the latter to exist a constant annoyance. All the other gods were also extremely wary whenever Poseidon (the ocean) and Zeus (the sky) started arguing, for a fight betwixt them could be catastrophic to the world. Hence, before long after the new generation of gods established their respective domains, Rhea suggested that Poseidon take his leave of Olympus to explore his new domain of the seas, sending him to live with the Telekhines.

Hence, Poseidon spent much fourth dimension with the Telekhines, who educated him non only in the ways of the ocean, but too to achieve a higher level of skill over his Trident. After he had learned all that he could from them, Poseidon decided to build his own palace, and presently had the Elder Cyclopes construct Atlantis (his official underwater residence) for him at the bottom of the Aegean Sea. Oceanus, the Titan of the ocean, not wishing to seek a fight, moved to more deeper parts of the ocean.

Marriage to Amphitrite

Amphitrite, his wife and Queen of the sea.

Early in his reign, Poseidon began searching for a married woman. His attention soon turned to the most beautiful Nereid, Amphitrite, only she rejected his proposal and fled. As a result, Poseidon became extremely depressed, and pointlessly wandered about his palace, bellowing "louder than a humpback whale", giving many whales and giant squids terrible migraines.

Fortunately for him, Delphin, the dolphin god and Poseidon'southward lieutenant, was sent in pursuit and managed to persuade the goddess into reconsidering the offer. Overjoyed, after his grandiose wedding, Poseidon gratefully awarded his lieutenant past creating a constellation in his honor. He would father four children by Amphitrite, including a son named Triton. Like Zeus, Poseidon also went on to sire children by various goddesses and mortal women. His most famous demigod children of all are Theseus and Bellerophon. Neither Amphitrite nor Persephone acted with hostility toward their corresponding husbands' children when they were showed infidelity (dissimilar Hera).

Human relationship with Demeter

A couple of years later Persephone'due south nascency, Demeter had decided to take a walk on the embankment, and was noticed by her brother Poseidon. The god of the seas appeared before her, wearing magnificent flowing green robes, and a crown of shining seashells. Demeter was frightened, and transformed herself into a white mare, and attempted to hibernate herself among a nearby herd of wild horses. Poseidon, however, being "The Father of Horses", quickly transformed into a mighty white stallion himself, and galloped after her. He quickly defenseless up with the herd, and made the horses function before him and surround Demeter, after which he successfully seduced her. Shortly thereafter, Demeter gave birth to twins: Despoina (a goddess), and Arion (an immortal stallion). Despoina would later become a small-scale goddess of fertility, and would frequently look afterwards Demeter'south temples as a loftier priestess. Her twin brother Arion, however, was far more prominent, and would often come to the aid of demigod heroes (such equally Hercules).

Rivalry with Athena

Athena and Poseidon had a rivalry between them since the ii of them both wanted to exist the patron of the city Attica, equally it was named at the time. Information technology was soon renamed into Athens (the current majuscule of Hellenic republic), after Athena. The people of the city petitioned the two gods to each create a gift for the urban center, and whichever gift was favored the most, that god would be the city's patron. Athena gave the people an olive tree and Poseidon fabricated them a salt-water spring and created horses. At first, the people of Attica thought Poseidon'south souvenir was the more astonishing, that is until they tasted the water and realized it was salt-h2o. Considering they couldn't drinkable the water, they chose Athena'due south souvenir of an olive tree and the city's king Kekrops fabricated her the patron goddess of the city because they could use the olives for nutrient and oil. As a show of appreciation to Athena, they named the city Athens after her and they turned the symbol of the city to an owl on an olive branch. They also had people build her the Parthenon in her laurels.

Another version says that Poseidon created a leap during his entrance and offered horses as a gift. The people of Attica chose Athena's gift due to the potential of monetary proceeds from the olive trees. That version was presented in Percy Jackson's Greek Gods.

Athena, his rival

Some other fourth dimension which marks a conflict betwixt the two Olympians was when Athena transformed Koroneis, whom Poseidon was trying to seduce, into a raven as a response to her prayer for assist. As a event, a furious Poseidon longed for revenge. Hence, he took Medusa, his new lover, into Athena's temple. Furious with Poseidon and Medusa, Athena turned Medusa and her 2 sisters who had helped her sneak into the temple (although Percy Jackson's Greek Gods say Poseidon did information technology by himself) into the three fearsome Gorgons. She additionally cursed Medusa, so that whenever anyone looked into her eyes, they would be turned to stone forcing the iii gorgons to flee. As revealed in Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, Poseidon encouraged Hephaestus to try to seduce Athena. Yet another time both of them were at odds about Odysseus. While Poseidon was furious with him for blinding his son Polyphemus, Athena favored him above all other mortals and was always willing to aid Odysseus when he needed it most.

Despite their long-term mutual animosity, there were times when Athena and Poseidon worked together. They were responsible for inventing the chariot, which combined their creations. Athena came up with the idea for the shape and design of the chariot, while Poseidon supplied the horses to pull it. Furthermore, both Athena and Poseidon were on the aforementioned side during the Trojan War, supporting the Greeks.

Olympian Murder Trial

After Poseidon's son, Halirrhothius, attempted to rape Ares' girl, Alcippe, she summoned her father for aid. The infuriated god of war quickly arrived, and brutally slayed Halirrhothius. An outraged Poseidon demanded that Ares be put on trial for the murder of his son, to which Zeus agreed. The offset ever Olympian murder trial took place on the Areopagus Hill in Athens. Zeus, equally the god of honor and justice, was the Chief Justice, while the other 10 Olympians served equally members of the jury. In the cease, Zeus justly acquitted Ares, since the latter was defending his daughter's honor.

Olympian Riot, and Poseidon's Punishment

Hera, enraged at her husband's infidelity, decided to start the first (and concluding) Olympian riot against Zeus. Hera managed to proceeds the support of Poseidon, every bit well as Apollo, and Athena. That evening, Poseidon, Apollo, and Athena hid themselves in the hall side by side to Zeus' regal chambers, awaiting Hera's signal. As soon every bit Zeus had fallen asleep, all 4 of them quickly tightly bound the King of Olympus with unbreakable and tightening golden chains. Even chained up and completely immobilized, an infuriated Zeus looked very intimidating. Finally, Poseidon attempted to reason with his blood brother, and demanded that Zeus be a better ruler in return for them releasing him. Zeus refused, which prompted Hera to advocate leaving him chained upward in his chambers until he agreed. Shortly thereafter, the four Olympians departed for the Throne Room for the first (and last) democratic meeting of the Olympian Quango, which proved to be a very cumbersome task. Fortunately, the violently trashing and bellowing King of Olympus was establish by the Nereid Thetis. After convincing Zeus to exist merciful towards the rioting Olympians, Thetis managed to find the Hekatonkheire Briares by the sea shore. He was more than happy to save Zeus, recalling that he owes his own liberty from Tartarus and Kampê to him. Briares quickly unchained Zeus, subsequently which the latter seized his Principal Commodities, and barged into the Throne Room, violently ending the meeting. Zeus remained truthful to his word, and was merciful towards the rioters, but he still punished them all accordingly.

Poseidon and Apollo were temporarily forced to serve Laomedon, the mortal King of Troy, without their divinity or godly powers, which Zeus temporarily stripped abroad. Laomedon ordered Poseidon to build huge new walls around the metropolis of Troy with his blank hands. The former god of the seas was outraged at the prospect, but Laomedon promised to greatly advantage Poseidon later on his work is finished. Even without his powers and divinity, Poseidon'due south force still far surpassed that of any mortal, and he could hands carry six massive stone blocks simultaneously while building the mighty walls. The famous Walls of Troy came to be extremely durable, and would later go along the Greek forces at bay for x long years in the Trojan War. A number of years later, after finally accomplishing his mission, Poseidon finally returned to the king, and demanded the advantage. Nonetheless, Laomedon claimed that setting him costless is the all-time reward that Poseidon could hope for. An infuriated Poseidon returned to Olympus, where Zeus finally restored his brother's powers and divinity. Still, due to Poseidon's riot, Zeus would gain a strong and lasting distrust for Poseidon.

Poseidon, still furious with King Laomedon, made it his mission to sink many Trojan ships, and sent a bloodthirsty sea snake to terrorize the Trojans. Also, in the subsequent and bloody Trojan War, Poseidon supported the Greeks.

Tyson subsequently tells Percy that he had asked for a companion, a brother to Poseidon, and his wish was granted, which ways that Poseidon does intendance for him. Poseidon also sends the Hippocampi to help Percy and his friends.

On Polyphemus's Island, the cyclops prays to Poseidon to curse Percy for taking dorsum the Golden Fleece which he stole to lure Satyrs to their deaths. But as his one-half-blood brother pointed out, their father won't expletive him similar he did Odysseus since the ocean god wouldn't play favorites.

After returning from the Quest for the Golden Fleece, Percy gets a letter from Poseidon telling his son to "Brace yourself."

The Titan'southward Curse

After completing their quest to save Artemis, Percy, Thalia Grace, and Annabeth Chase arrive to the Winter Solstice meeting. Athena suggests the gods kill Percy because he is meant to be the child of the Dandy Prophecy, since Thalia pledged herself to Artemis, pregnant she would never accomplish the historic period of sixteen. Poseidon places faith in Percy and claims he can be trusted, giving the other gods his discussion. Fortunately, the majority of the gods vote in Percy's favor. Poseidon also vouches for Bessie the Ophiotaurus. He suggests the gods keep information technology on Olympus. After the meeting, a party is held and Poseidon has a private talk with Percy, confirming Annabeth'southward argument that Luke was even so live and assuring Percy that Atlas will non escape again.

Poseidon so tells Percy of the war he is having in his underwater kingdom, and gives him a birthday present: a sand dollar every bit well as labeling Percy as his favorite son. Percy thinks that his arrival was the best gift in itself.

Triton, his son.

The Terminal Olympian

Poseidon is decorated fighting the Titan of the bounding main, Oceanus, who is constantly attacking his kingdom. Poseidon had been fighting then hard, his strength has deteriorated which results in him looking aged. Percy offered to fight, just Poseidon told him that he was needed on the surface and to tell Chiron that information technology was time for his son to learn the complete prophecy that had been hidden from his son.

During the Battle of Manhattan, Percy goes up to Olympus and sits on his father's throne to attempt and get his attention. Poseidon was about to blast whoever it was that dared to sit on his on his throne, but thankfully looked earlier doing so and didn't blast Percy. His son tried to convince him that the other gods needed his help in stopping Typhon, just Poseidon was unwilling as he would lose his ain palace in Atlantis if he left. Percy counters saying that Olympus is his home as well and Poseidon thinks this over. Percy then jumped off of Poseidon's throne to rejoin the battle.

Equally Typhon entered the city and started his final charge toward Olympus, he stepped into the Hudson River, where Poseidon had been waiting with an army of Cyclopes, lead by Tyson. Equally the Cyclopes wrapped him in heavy chains, Poseidon struck Typhon with his trident and the other gods attacked also. Poseidon then created a channel of water that pulled the defeated Typhon into the pits of Tartarus.

After the Battle of Manhattan, Poseidon returned to Olympus, along with the other gods. Poseidon begins to give thanks his son for what he had done for the gods, but is interrupted by Zeus, who asked that he rejoin the gods in the proceeding. Poseidon gives his son a flash and walks back to his throne. As Zeus tried very hard to thank his brothers, Poseidon constantly toys with him, making Zeus admit that information technology would have been impossible to defeat Typhon without his assist, instead of simply saying difficult like Zeus had originally done.

The gods and so offering Tyson, Grover, Annabeth, Thalia, Nico, and Percy with rewards for saving Olympus and defeating the Titan Regular army. Poseidon states that Percy has surpassed all heroes including Hercules (much to Zeus' badgerer) and afterwards gives Percy a hug to which Percy starts tearing upwardly (as information technology was the starting time time his father had always hugged him). Later on the beach at Camp Half-Claret, Poseidon cheers Percy for saving Olympus once once more. He also says that he may send Percy some siblings in the future.

The Heroes of Olympus

The Lost Hero

While non seen, Annabeth mentioned Poseidon when giving Piper McLean a tour of Camp Half-Blood. When Piper asked if Zeus and Hera'south Cabin were empty, Annabeth explained the Pact of the Big Iii, saying that Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades went a long fourth dimension without having any demigod children for the meliorate function of seventy years (with some exceptions).

Poseidon is later mentioned when Jason Grace, Leo Valdez, and Piper McLean visit the home of Aeolus, an extravagant news homo. While giving the weather forecast, he tapped his earpiece and announced that Poseidon was angry with Miami, and then Aeolus sent a winter freeze their way before apologizing to Demeter.

The Son of Neptune

Percy was on a quest with Hazel Levesque and Frank Zhang, they meet a horse named Arion and Percy starts talking to the horse. When Hazel questions how he tin talk horse, Percy says it is a Poseidon thing. Frank also finds out on this quest that his ancestor was Periclymenus, a grandson of Poseidon who was gifted with the power to change into any animal, a gift that was passed down in the Zhang family. A joke is passed about Frank beingness Percy and Tyson'southward peachy, groovy, great, keen, great, etc chiliad nephew every bit Frank is descended from Poseidon. Later, Hazel and Frank both figure out that Percy is not a son of Neptune, but a son of Poseidon, his Greek aspect.

During the battle with Alcyoneus, Frank uses his gift to change into dissimilar animals. Percy complains that Poseidon didn't give him a cool gift like that, but Frank points out Percy's other abilities.

The Marker of Athena

Poseidon, forth with most of the other Olympians, was incapacitated (with his personality split between him and his Roman form Neptune) afterwards Leo was manipulated by Gaea into shooting upon Camp Jupiter from the Argo II.

He then watches every bit Zeus hurls the Argo 2 back to Camp Half-Blood.

Demigods & Magicians

The Crown of Ptolemy

When teaming upwardly with the Egyptian goddess Nekhbet, she notes that Percy Jackson hosting her would make for a very unusual and powerful combination due to him being the son of Poseidon. During boxing with Setne, Percy falls into the ocean where the saltwater heals him and restores his powers quicker than usual. Percy theorizes that Poseidon may take been helping him heal faster given the fact that it was so quick.

The Trials of Apollo

The Hidden Oracle

Apollo mentioned the sea god when seeing the physical similarities between him and Percy.

The Tower of Nero

Two weeks after Apollo defeats Python he attends a meeting, but barely pays attention and leaves when it ends.

Magnus Hunt and the Gods of Asgard

The Hammer of Thor

Annabeth mentions him when trying to decide how the Greek gods and Norse gods divide up shared territory.

The Ship of the Expressionless

Percy mentioned Poseidon when telling Magnus how sea gods become possessive of their magic items, stating that Poseidon is super paranoid about losing his trident.

Personality

Poseidon is overall a benevolent god, even though he shares many characteristics with Zeus including pride, stubbornness, and a fearsome temper. Still, he appears to take matured over the centuries to a signal where these attributes do not dominate Poseidon to the same extent they do Zeus, making him much more reasonable. Poseidon loves and cares for his children and watches over them more than nearly of the other gods, actively giving them advice, and aiding them indirectly, though this might be since he only has one son. Poseidon has a more than caring and overall human personality, which Percy inherited many traits from. Information technology should also exist noted that despite their occasional quarrels, Poseidon, unlike most other Olympians, was ordinarily on practiced terms with Ares, and was the ane to speak up for the war god when the latter was imprisoned and humiliated by Hephaestus, knowing that nobody else would.

Still, when Poseidon falls into depression, he can exist extremely dramatic, much like Zeus. In Percy Jackson'south Greek Gods, when unable to woo Amphitrite, Poseidon becomes extremely depressed, and pointlessly wandered nigh his palace, bellowing "louder than a humpback whale", giving many whales and giant squids terrible migraines. Poseidon also greatly admired the fifty cute Nereids, and was infuriated when Queen Cassiopeia claimed to be more beautiful than any of them. As a issue, Poseidon summoned a gigantic and bloodthirsty sea ophidian, and ordered it to terrorize her kingdom. However, he afterward allowed Perseus to slay the serpent and save Andromeda (Cassiopeia'southward daughter) from it in Percy Jackson's Greek Heroes. However, after her death, while Poseidon did place Cassiopeia in the sky as a constellation, he insisted on placing her there upside-down as a terminal penalization. But perhaps the most infamous case of Poseidon'southward vengeful rage occurred after Minos refused to appease the body of water god by sacrificing the a white bull that the god had previously sent him, then an infuriated Poseidon had Aphrodite strength Pasiphaë to autumn madly in beloved and mate with the white bull, which resulted in the birth of the fearsome Minotaur.

Poseidon also has a very item sense of humour, sometimes making it difficult to tell if he is joking or non. After Percy saves Olympus in The Terminal Olympian, he tells him he can at present merits all his other children and gives Percy a wink as if he's joking. He also has a habit of toying with his younger brother. As Zeus is begrudgingly thanking his blood brother for his help in defeating Typhon, Poseidon would interrupt with phrases like "I'm sorry brother. What was that?" and correcting him when Zeus says it would have been "difficult" instead of "impossible" to defeat Typhon. It has also been shown that he is very protective as seen in The Final Olympian when Percy in attempting to convince him to assistance Olympus, he states that he must protect his home (the sea), only Percy then reminds him that Olympus is his truthful home.

Due to caring dearly for his children, according to Polybotes; Poseidon's greatest weaknesses include his demigod son, Percy Jackson, since if Percy is harmed, the Giants believe that Poseidon will weaken. He too makes every effort to exist there for his children. Even though he was forbidden from making contact with Percy directly, he does lookout man over Percy and guides him whenever he needs guidance such as telepathically telling Percy what to do.

In The House of Hades, it is implied past Hazel that Poseidon has a dark side, something which is reflected by his other son, Sciron.

Different his rival Athena, Poseidon isn't biased in any way. Fifty-fifty when Zeus violated the oath non to have whatever more children, Poseidon isn't known for either cursing Thalia or sending anything to destroy her like Hera and Hades. Furthermore, while Athena didn't approve of her daughter Annabeth's relationship with Percy because of her rivalry with Poseidon, Poseidon doesn't have any ill will towards either Annabeth or her mutual love with his son Percy and may even support their human relationship since their third buss was in his domain.

Appearance

Once described by Sally Jackson in The Lightning Thief as "tall, handsome, powerful, yet gentle", Poseidon has blackness hair, a neatly trimmed black beard, a deep tan, and ocean-green optics (inherited from his mother Rhea) that were surrounded by sun-crinkles that told one he was prone to smiling. His hands are also scarred like an old-time fisherman's. When coincidental (which is almost e'er), he wore Birkenstocks (leather sandals), khaki Bermuda shorts, a Tommy Bahama shirt with coconuts and parrots all over information technology (or any other Hawaiian shirt), and a cap decorated with fishing lures which says "Neptune's Lucky Line-fishing Hat."

In Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, while trying to court Demeter, Poseidon wore magnificent flowing green robes, with a crown of seashells on his head.

During The Last Olympian, due to his kingdom being destroyed in his battle with Oceanus, Poseidon's visage had aged to that of an sometime man with a bushy white beard and gray hair, and his boxing armor seemed to weigh him down. When Percy asks what happened to him, he says he chooses to reflect the state of his realm, which was quite grim. However, when he abandoned the battle against Oceanus to assistance the other gods fight Typhon, his advent returns to normal: tan and stiff with a black bristles, and glowing with a bluish aura of ability. Poseidon's favorite demigod son, Percy Jackson, was noted to exist most the spitting epitome of his begetter, with the aforementioned black hair, bounding main-green eyes, and brooding look. Percy had as well inherited Poseidon'southward handsomeness, as confirmed by Hazel in The Son of Neptune, where she stated that "[Percy] had the good looks of a Roman god." That was also part of the reason why Medusa wanted to go on a statue of Percy: to remind herself of her by affair with his begetter.

Abilities

Main article: Hydrokinesis

As ane of the Big Three, Poseidon is extremely powerful and has the ultimate powers a god tin possess, and is rivaled just by his brothers, Zeus and Hades, although Zeus believes he is more powerful and so both his brothers. Poseidon did once take these powers temporarily stripped by Zeus, due to the sometime's involvement in the Olympian anarchism, only they were ultimately restored.

• Massive Strength: Poseidon has incredible concrete prowess, and in Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, he is mentioned as being able to submerge entire islands and hurl mountains at his enemies. Even when Zeus temporarily stripped him of his powers and divinity, Poseidon's physical strength still far surpassed that of any demigod, and he could easily comport vi massive stone blocks simultaneously while building a mighty wall around Troy.
• Powerful Roar: In Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, when Poseidon becomes extremely depressed about his inability to woo Amphitrite, Poseidon bellows "louder than a humpback whale", giving many whales and giant squids terrible migraines. In The Final Olympian, when Poseidon attacks Typhon, his vocalisation is so loud that Percy was uncertain if he was hearing it from the fume image, or from all the way across boondocks.
• Hydrokinesis: As the Lord of the Sea, Poseidon has absolute command and divine authorisation over h2o in all forms and states of matter, and has the same hydrokinetic powers equally Percy, only to an infinitely superior level.
  • Tsunamis and Tidal Waves: He can unleash gigantic tsunamis and tidal waves, as seen during his battles with Oceanus in The Last Olympian.
  • H2o Funnel Clouds: He can create gigantic water funnel clouds. In The Terminal Olympian, Poseidon was able to make ane around Typhon, which wrapped him upwards "like a cocoon", and took him all the way to Tartarus.
  • Hydrogenesis: Poseidon tin create water from his own power, generating it out of zilch.
  • Water Propulsion: He can control the h2o effectually him to propel himself through h2o at incredible speeds.
  • Water Solidification: He tin harden water into an well-nigh solid shape, and can apply this power to walk on h2o, past increasing the surface tension of the water to the point where it is solid enough for him and other objects to stand on. As his son Percy did in The Last Olympian and The Son of Neptune, Poseidon can create extremely durable water shields and huge solid constructs that obey his will.
  • Water Blasts: In The Blood of Olympus, Poseidon sprayed the Giants Otis and Ephialtes out of the Athenian Parthenon with a high-powered water blast in the shape of wild horses.
  • Floods and Droughts: He can bring about both floods and droughts. This is shown in Percy Jackson's Greek Gods when Poseidon (angered that Hera is made the metropolis's patron goddess) floods the metropolis of Argos. Nonetheless, when implored by Hera, Poseidon takes the floodwater away, along with the balance of the metropolis'due south freshwater supply. He later helped Zeus bring about a global flood past chop-chop raising the water levels of the seas.
  • Watery Appearance: As seen in Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, Poseidon can appear in a "massive geyser of twisting water and salt."
  • Water Force per unit area Immunity: He can withstand any amount of water pressure.
  • Water Creation: He tin generate water from his torso and create water springs.
  • Water Transportation: He tin utilise body of water waves as a class of high-speed transportation.
  • Underwater Breathing: He can naturally breathe underwater.
  • Water Cushioning: As seen in Percy Jackson's Greek Heroes, Poseidon cushioned the affect that his son Theseus had with the surface of the sea after diving into it from a great height.
  • Heat Resistance: He has an extreme resistance to rut and burns, inferior only to that of his nephew Hephaestus.
  • Enhancing Healing: In the Crown of Ptolemy, Percy theorizes that Poseidon enhanced Percy's healing abilities when he roughshod into New York Harbor with Setne given how fast the saltwater healed him. This indicates that Poseidon at least possesses this ability even if he didn't use it on Percy as he theorized.
  • Cryokinesis: Like with Percy, Poseidon can control/manipulate bounding main ice since he has a greater level of command over water than Percy does.
• Aquatic Lordship: Poseidon has absolute control and divine say-so over all body of water creatures, as well as many fearsome monsters native to the sea. In Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, Poseidon summoned a jumbo and bloodthirsty sea serpent to terrorize Cassiopeia'due south kingdom, which Perseus would later slay in Percy Jackson's Greek Heroes.
• Horses: As the god who initially created horses, Poseidon has divine authorization and control over them. In Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, this is shown when Poseidon makes a herd of horses part before him, and surround Demeter.
• Geokinesis: Beingness the God of Earthquakes, Poseidon has the ability to generate earthquakes. Due to this, Poseidon is often referred to as "The Earthshaker".
• Atmokinesis (limited): Due to his control of the weather condition over the seas, Poseidon is also known equally the God of Storms, existence able to create violent hurricanes also as clear skies for sailors as he wished to. Hence, he is frequently referred to every bit "The Stormbringer". Still, as the God of the Sea, it is unknown as to how far Poseidon's power of atmokinesis extends over land.
  • Electrokinesis: Beingness the god of violent storms, it is probable that Poseidon can control lightning though not to the aforementioned extent as his brother, Zeus.
• Edifice Skills: In Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, while stripped of his godhood and powers, Poseidon constructed the famous Walls of Troy, which were extremely durable, and kept the Greek forces (which Poseidon, ironically, supported) at bay for 10 long years.
• Power Granting: Poseidon gifted his grandson Periclymenus with the power of shapeshifting, something that Periclymenus' descendants would also inherit. This was a unique gift given to Periclymenus as Poseidon didn't grant this ability to his other children or descendants. It is a ability that his demigod and legacy family members don't naturally inherit from the god.
• Powers Restriction: Poseidon often restricts the destructive powers of his daughter Kymopoleia, something she complains almost in The Blood of Olympus.
• Shapeshifting: Every bit seen in Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, Poseidon is quite skilled at shapeshifting, much like his brother Zeus. He has transformed into an eagle (while escaping from Kronos' palace), a bat (while sneaking into Tartarus' maximum-security zone with his siblings), a white stallion (while wooing Demeter), and a ram (while wooing Theophane).
• Leadership Abilities: Poseidon led the armies of Atlantis against Oceanus' army of ancient sea gods and sea spirits too as countless sea monsters. Somewhen, afterwards a discussion with Percy, Poseidon re-routes his forces and leads the Cyclops army to provide assist to the other Olympians who were making their last stand. The assistance tips the tide of boxing and causes Typhon to be defeated and sent to Tartarus.

Film

The Lightning Thief

Poseidon is played by Kevin McKidd.

There are both similarities and differences in his character betwixt the film and the novel.

The most notable similarity is that, after the Primary Commodities was stolen and Zeus believed it to be part of a plot instigated by Poseidon, Poseidon was as well proud to try to convince his blood brother otherwise, despite being truly innocent of the theft. His film version was also revealed to have had a brief matter with Medusa, just similar his novel version.

Nevertheless, it must be noted that there are still numerous differences betwixt his picture version and novel version. For example, the novel Poseidon was described as having black pilus and beard, and sea-dark-green eyes, simply in the film, his hair and beard are reddish-blond, and his eyes are blue. The film Poseidon also does not sport a Hawaiian-print shirt and shorts like his novel version, but was portrayed in T-shirt and jeans (at his first appearance), and after in Grecian armour like the other gods.

Last simply not to the lowest degree, the film Poseidon was portrayed as having a personality that is vastly different from his novel version, and hence his actions were different from those of the novel also.

The novel Poseidon had left Sally before Percy was even born, later expressed doubts every bit to whether or not fathering Percy had been a wise decision (given that his son'south destiny as a hero meant that his life was highly probable to be a tragic one), but also showed to possess a fine sense of humour, as demonstrated past his aiming sarcastic jokes at Zeus, and a laid-back demeanour overall.

The flick Poseidon, however, was depicted as intensely serious, and treated Zeus every bit more of a superior than brother, even requesting from him permission to speak and physically interact with his own son. He was likewise shown to beloved Percy dearly, keeping a watchful middle on him despite the fact that the rules meant that he had to exercise then silently and unseen. When Zeus accused Percy of beingness the Lightning Thief, Poseidon menacingly threatened his brother with war, though information technology turned to exist an invalid threat as Zeus was harbouring like intentions himself considering of the theft. As a result, Poseidon exploited the loophole in the rules by telepathically warning and guiding Percy out of tight spots throughout the moving-picture show. When father and son finally met for the first fourth dimension since Percy was a baby, Poseidon honestly confessed to Percy that he had never meant to leave him and his female parent, but considering he was becoming increasingly human being and less concerned with his divine responsibilities when he was with them, Zeus had passed the police force forbidding the gods from having concrete contact with their children, which in plough forced him to go out.

He added, notwithstanding, that he truly loved and cared for Percy, and had tried to help out whenever he could, though he had to practise so subtly. He concludes with assuring Percy that he will always there for him, and that he volition always stand up by him. At this, though both were nevertheless lilliputian more strangers, male parent and son shared a handshake of understanding and beginning of acceptance, and Poseidon watched wistfully equally Percy went on his ain manner. Hence, it could be said that the film focused on bringing out a more serious, more paternal, and more sincere side of Poseidon, especially given that in the novels, though Poseidon acknowledged Percy as a truthful son of his and occasionally expresses his pride in him, he still remains somewhat an aloof and distant figure.
