Poseidon, in turn, wants an apology for being suspected by the same date. A quest is eventually given to Percy to find the missing lightning bolt and return it by the Summer Solstice in order to stop a war among the gods. Percy succeeds, and Poseidon gets to meet his son in person. Poseidon tells Zeus that he admits his wrongdoing, and Percy feels as if he is just a mistake, and not actually Poseidon's son.
Poseidon feels very sorry for Percy, because heroes typically meet tragic ends. Percy tells his father he isn't sorry for being who he is, and Poseidon in turn tells him that he is a true son of the Sea God. Poseidon does not make a physical appearance, but he is said to have sent his Cyclops son Tyson to the same school as Percy, in order to get them to know each other.
After Poseidon claims Tyson as his son, Percy temporarily begins to feel that being a son of Poseidon is a joke and is teased by many other campers for having a cyclops as a half-brother.
Tyson later tells Percy that he had asked for a companion, a brother to Poseidon, and his wish was granted, which means that Poseidon does care 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 back the Golden Fleece which he stole to lure Satyrs to their deaths.
But as his half-brother pointed out, their father won't curse him like he did Odysseus since the sea 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. Athena suggests the gods kill Percy because he is meant to be the child of the Great Prophecy, since Thalia pledged herself to Artemis, meaning she would never reach the age of sixteen.
Poseidon places faith in Percy and claims he can be trusted, giving the other gods his word. Fortunately, the majority of the gods vote in Percy's favor. Poseidon also vouches for Bessie the Ophiotaurus. He suggests the gods keep it on Olympus. After the meeting, a party is held and Poseidon has a private talk with Percy, confirming Annabeth's statement that Luke was still alive and assuring Percy that Atlas will not escape again.
Poseidon visits Percy , Sally Jackson , and Tyson at their apartment. Sally is embarrassed at seeing her old boyfriend again, who notes her to be as "beautiful as ever". Percy and Tyson greet him, and Poseidon is introduced to Sally's boyfriend, Paul Blofis , who Poseidon at first mistakenly calls "Blowfish.
Percy thinks that his arrival was the best gift in itself. When Percy meets Poseidon in his kingdom, he looks aged and weak, unlike the god Percy once knew.
Poseidon is busy fighting the Titan of the sea, Oceanus , who is constantly attacking his kingdom. Poseidon had been fighting so hard, his strength has deteriorated which results in him looking aged. Percy offered to fight, but Poseidon told him that he was needed on the surface and to tell Chiron that it 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 try and get his attention.
Poseidon was about to blast whoever it was that dared to sit on his on his throne, but thankfully looked before doing so and didn't blast Percy. His son tried to convince him that the other gods needed his help in stopping Typhon , but Poseidon was unwilling as he would lose his own 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. As 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.
As the Cyclopes wrapped him in heavy chains, Poseidon struck Typhon with his trident and the other gods attacked as well. 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 thank 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 wink and walks back to his throne. As Zeus tried very hard to thank his brothers, Poseidon constantly toys with him, making Zeus admit that it would have been impossible to defeat Typhon without his help, instead of simply saying difficult like Zeus had originally done. Poseidon states that Percy has surpassed all heroes including Hercules much to Zeus' annoyance and afterwards gives Percy a hug to which Percy starts tearing up as it was the first time his father had ever hugged him.
He also says that he may send Percy some siblings in the future. Percy wonders if this is a joke or not, as Poseidon gives him his signature wink.
Poseidon then leaves, leaving behind a troubled Percy who still isn't sure whether or not it was a joke. When Piper asked if Zeus and Hera's Cabin were empty, Annabeth explained the Pact of the Big Three , saying that Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades went a long time without having any demigod children for the better part of seventy years with some exceptions.
While giving the weather forecast, he tapped his earpiece and announced that Poseidon was angry with Miami, so Aeolus sent a winter freeze their way before apologizing to Demeter. 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 can 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 ability to change into any animal, a gift that was passed down in the Zhang family. A joke is passed about Frank being Percy and Tyson's great, great, great, great, great, etc grand nephew as Frank is descended from Poseidon.
During the battle with Alcyoneus , Frank uses his gift to change into different animals. Percy complains that Poseidon didn't give him a cool gift like that, but Frank points out Percy's other abilities. Poseidon, along with most of the other Olympians, was incapacitated with his personality split between him and his Roman form Neptune after Leo was manipulated by Gaea into shooting upon Camp Jupiter from the Argo II.
Poseidon is mentioned whenever Annabeth asks if Percy has seen his dad recently. Percy says that he hasn't seen his dad since last August when he turned When Leo asked the Ichthyocentaur if they wanted to meet Percy, they said they choose not to interact with children of Poseidon because of their politics.
When Reyna , with the help of six pegasi finally manages to place the Athena Parthenos on Half-Blood Hill , golden light ripples across the ground, seeping warmth into the bones of both Greek and Roman demigods, and curing all of the Olympians including Poseidon of their split personalities. As a result, Poseidon promptly arrives in Athens to participate in the final battle with the Giants.
He helps his son, Percy , fight the Giant twins Otis and Ephialtes , whom they quickly kill together, after which Hades sends their bodies back to Tartarus. After the battle, Poseidon is seen having what Jason thinks is "an intense discussion" with his sisters Hera and Demeter. He then specifies to Zeus who his daughter Kymopoleia is, and agrees that Athena is right "for once" and that the real fight isn't truly over yet. When teaming up 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 battle with Setne , Percy falls into the ocean where the saltwater heals him and restores his powers quicker than usual. Percy theorizes that Poseidon may have been helping him heal faster given the fact that it was so quick. Apollo mentioned the sea god when seeing the physical similarities between him and Percy. Two weeks after Apollo defeats Python he attends a meeting, but barely pays attention and leaves when it ends.
Annabeth mentions him when trying to decide how the Greek gods and Norse gods divide up shared territory. Percy mentioned Poseidon when telling Magnus how sea gods get possessive of their magic items, stating that Poseidon is super paranoid about losing his trident. Poseidon is overall a benevolent god , even though he shares many characteristics with Zeus including pride, stubbornness, and a fearsome temper.
However, he appears to have matured over the centuries to a point 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 most 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 caring and overall human personality, which Percy inherited many traits from. It should also be noted that despite their occasional quarrels, Poseidon, unlike most other Olympians, was usually on good terms with Ares , and was the one to speak up for the war god when the latter was imprisoned and humiliated by Hephaestus , knowing that nobody else would. However, when Poseidon falls into depression, he can be extremely dramatic, much like Zeus.
In Percy Jackson's Greek Gods , when unable to woo Amphitrite , Poseidon becomes extremely depressed, and pointlessly wandered about his palace, bellowing "louder than a humpback whale", giving many whales and giant squids terrible migraines. Poseidon also greatly admired the fifty beautiful Nereids, and was infuriated when Queen Cassiopeia claimed to be more beautiful than any of them.
As a result, Poseidon summoned a gigantic and bloodthirsty sea serpent, and ordered it to terrorize her kingdom. However, he later allowed Perseus to slay the serpent and save Andromeda Cassiopeia's 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 final punishment.
Poseidon also has a very particular sense of humor, sometimes making it hard to tell if he is joking or not. After Percy saves Olympus in The Last Olympian , he tells him he can now claim 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 brother for his help in defeating Typhon, Poseidon would interrupt with phrases like "I'm sorry brother. What was that? It has also been shown that he is very protective as seen in The Last Olympian when Percy in attempting to convince him to help Olympus, he states that he must protect his home the sea , but Percy then reminds him that Olympus is his true 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 also makes every effort to be there for his children. Share buttons are a little bit lower. Thank you! Published by Anissa Barnett Modified over 6 years ago. Leo, Jason, and Piper were not in the original Percy Jackson series.
The Heroes of Olympus book series is told in several different point of views. BY Rick Riordan. The Great prophecy A half blood of the eldest gods Shall reach 16 against all odds And see the world in endless sleep The heroes soul,.
The Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Greece. Influences From the groups with conquered Greece during the Dark Ages. From the groups with conquered Greece. Foundations of Mythology. Warm Up What kind of stories existed before written works such as the Bible and the Quran? Furious at Poseidon and Medusa for doing such disgusting acts in her temple, she turned Medusa and her sisters into the "Three Gorgons. Poseidon dated Sally Jackson, a beautiful mortal woman that he called 'a queen among women' and that he hadn't found a woman like her in a thousand years.
They vacationed together at Montauk, and conceived Pe. After a while, Poseidon left, telling Sally to send their baby to Camp Half-Blood when he was old enough. Poseidon later visited Percy when he was a baby, and Percy always remembered the warm glow of his father's smile. Unaware, his mother thought that they had never met. When Percy made it to Camp Half Blood , he did not know who his father was. Poseidon knew that Percy was his son, but had yet to tell him. He has black hair, a neatly trimmed beard, sea-green eyes, and a nice tan except for pale wrinkles by his eyes and cheeks to show that whenever he's in the sun he's smiling.
He wears leather sandals, khaki Bermuda shorts, a Hawaiian shirt, and a battered cap decorated with fishing lures. During Second Olympian War , he has grey hair and looked old, as his kingdom was badly damaged.
Poseidon is an extremely powerful god rivaled only by his brothers Zeus , and Hades , and surpassed by Typhon , whom he managed to cast into Tartarus. As the personification of the sea, he has omnipotent control over the ocean.
He is capable of summoning and controlling fierce storms over the water, though it is unknown to what extent he can summon storms over land or how his weather powers compare to Zeus. Like all gods, his sphere is one with his emotions- when he is angry, he inadvertently summons hurricanes, when at peace, the sea is calm. He possesses the natural abilities of a god.
His power compared to Zeus is a subject of much debate. It is generally agreed that Zeus is stronger, with Poseidon being a close second, however this is mostly because of the spheres they are one with in which Zeus sky being the highest and Poseidon ocean in the middle. During the Second Titanmoachy he was the only god to seriously wound Typhon , but there were extenuating circumstances on both sides that make the true status in doubt.
Poseidon's symbol of power is the trident. He can project beams of blue light from it that can transform targets or even outright destroy what they. Poseidon is overall a benevolent god, although he shares many characteristics with his brother Zeus being stubborn, proud, and temperamental.
