![]() Even though he was only 13 at the time, the letter could mean something about the Great Prophecy. Percy also gets a letter from Poseidon near the end of the book telling him to "Brace yourself". Poseidon also sends the Hippocampi to help Percy and his friends. 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. Tyson, Poseidon's Cyclopes son.Added by MythomagicPoseidon does not make an 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. Percy tells his father he isn't sorry for being who he is, and Poseidon in turn tells him he is a true son of the Sea God. Poseidon feels very sorry for Percy, because heroes typically meet tragic ends. Poseidon tells Zeus that he admits his wrongdoing, and Percy feels as if he is just a mistake, and not actually Poseidon's son. Percy succeeds, and Poseidon gets to meet his son formally. Eventually a quest is given for Percy to find the missing master bolt and return it by the Summer solstice in order to stop a war amongst the gods. ![]() Poseidon, in turn, wants an apology for being suspected by the same date. After Zeus' lightning bolt is discovered to be missing, Zeus immediately suspects Poseidon of having used Percy to steal it, and demands that it is returned by the Summer Solstice. This causes discord among the gods of Olympus as it is proof that Poseidon had not honored the pact that was made between the Big Three after World Percy II. When Percy survives the attack during his first game of Capture the Flag at camp, Poseidon claims him as his own. Percy Jackson and the Olympians The lightning Thief Athena came up with the idea for shape and design, while Poseidon made horses to pull it. While still having a heated rivalry, there were times they worked together. Athena thought that Medusa and her sisters were trespassers and transformed then into the Gorgons. Poseidon sneaked into the temple and had relations with her against her will. However, Medusa swore to remain a virgin and declined Poseidon's offer. In variations of the story, it is said that Medusa was a priestess and Poseidon, who fell in love with her, wanted to be her husband. From then on whoever looked Medusa in the eye would turn to stone. Furious with Poseidon and Medusa she turned Medusa and her sisters (whom helped her get into the temple) into the three gorgons. When Poseidon was courting Medusa, Athena caught them together in her temple. The city of Athens was named after her, and the people built her the Parthenon. The people of Attica chose Athena, and made her the patron goddess of Attica. ![]() Poseidon gave them a salt-water spring, while Athena gave theme an olive tree. The citizens of the city told the gods to each create a gift for the city, whichever the citizens liked the most would become patron. He also went on to have children with various goddesses and mortal women.Īthena and Poseidon have had a rivalry between them because both of them wanted to be the patron of the city Athen. He would father several children by Amphitrite, including a son named Triton. Poseidon gratefully awarded his lieutenant by creating a constellation in his honor. Delphin the dolphin god was sent in pursuit and managed to persuade the goddess into reconsidering the offer. His attention soon turned to the Oceanid Amphitrite but she rejected his proposal and fled. According to Diodorus Siculus Poseidon was raised by the Telekhines on Rhodes, just as Zeus was raised by the Corybantes on Crete.Įarly in his reign, Poseidon began searching for a wife. He was saved by his mother Rhea, who concealed him among a flock of lambs and pretended to have given birth to a colt, which she gave to Cronus to devour. However in some versions of the story, he, like his brother Zeus, did not share the fate of his other brother and sisters who were eaten by Cronus. After Kronos was destroyed and his followers were exiled Poseidon, Zeus, and their brother Hades divided the earth between them and respectively claimed the Sea, Sky, and Underworld to rule. It was during this war that Poseidon would gain the allegiance of the Telekhines and receive a powerful Trident that he would use to symbolize his authority among the gods. They soon joined their brother and waged a war of vengeance against Kronos and the Titans. When Zeus reached his adulthood, he managed to infiltrate his father's palace and trick him into ingesting a purgative, freeing Poseidon and the others. Rhea managed to save Poseidon's youngest sibling, Zeus and raise him secretly in order to free his captive brothers and sisters. Because he feared that one of his children would sieze his throne, Kronos imprisoned the god along with his elder siblings by swallowing them whole. Poseidon was born to Kronos and Rhea, rulers of the Titan race.
