Firstly, the word "gods" could be considered a gender-neutral term, which means her children also qualify for the prophecy — she is, after all, the elder sister of Zeus, Poseidon and Hades. Tablets from Pylos record sacrificial goods destined for "the Two ladies and the Lord" (or "to the Two Queens and the King": wa-na-soi, wa-na-ka-te). Wa-na-ssoi may be related with Demeter and Persephone, or their precursors, goddesses who were not associated with Poseidon in later periods. [33] [28] Mycenean cult Juno still decides to wipe Jason's memory, and fiddle with Leo and Piper's into believing they were friends with the story being that they met at the Wilderness School. Poseidon is famous for his contests with other deities for winning the patronage of the city. According to legend, Athena became the patron goddess of the city of Athens after a competition with Poseidon, though he remained on the Acropolis in the form of his surrogate, Erechtheus. After the fight, Poseidon sent a monstrous flood to the Attic plain to punish the Athenians for not choosing him. [9] In similar competitions with other deities in different cities, he causes devastating floods when he loses. Poseidon is a horrifying and avenging god and must be honoured even when he is not the patron deity of the city. [10]

The seers of the Tuatha de Danaan made a prophecy about a son of the sea, a member of The Wild Hunt, a horse that ran on waves and a journey. He was immensely relieved when he found out that Percy also qualified. All indications are that it was about the god of spaceflight, explaining how Manannan managed to figure out Percy was already a god when entire pantheons who he was much closer to missed it. Only the Chosen May Wield: Tsukuyomi binds the Honjo Masamune to Percy as a gift for his 21st birthday, making it so only he could draw it and it would sheath itself should he be disarmed. Should Percy ever die, then it will return to the Shinto Pantheon. Jason, being from the community of New Rome, is aghast at how little communal structure the Greeks have, and finds Percy, his closest counterpart among them, having just left instead of staying around to lead them to be a serious mark against Percy's character.

Leo Valdez uses the inherent affinity Greek demigods have for the language to his advantage by taking it as a language credit for an easy A. Word of God is that Piper took advantage of the fact that children of Aphrodite can speak fluent French to just test out, and that other demigods tend to do the same as Leo. names po-se-da-wo-ne and Po-se-da-o ("Poseidon") [14] occurs with greater frequency than does di-u-ja ("Zeus"). A feminine variant, po-se-de-ia, is also found, indicating a lost consort goddess, in effect the precursor of Amphitrite. Picard, Charles (1948), Manuel d'archéologie grecque: sculpture, p. 684 apud Lattimore (1976), p.56All According to Plan: Rather thoroughly subverted by Percy. The Deities of Asia have a very detailed plan to avoid another war with the Olympians while maintaining their territory that centers around turning Percy into a Minor God of the Sea and adopting him into the Asian Pantheon. The Olympians go from absolutely furious about this to hysterically amused when they realize that they haven't yet asked Percy if he wants to become a god. Because who would turn down godhood?

Living Lie Detector: Apollo, though as the god of truth it goes further than just detecting lies and can even detect the degree of truth. He can also tell when it is a lie by omission. Other gods can cloud this sense to a degree, but Poseidon implies it takes a degree of power that he simply does not have when outside the West. Poseidon ( / p ə ˈ s aɪ d ən, p ɒ-, p oʊ-/; [1] Greek: Ποσειδῶν) is one of the Twelve Olympians in ancient Greek religion and mythology, presiding over the sea, storms, earthquakes and horses. [2] He was the protector of seafarers and the guardian of many Hellenic cities and colonies. In pre-Olympian Bronze Age Greece, Poseidon was venerated as a chief deity at Pylos and Thebes, with the cult title "earth shaker"; [2] in the myths of isolated Arcadia, he is related to Demeter and Persephone and was venerated as a horse, and as a god of the waters. [3] Poseidon maintained both associations among most Greeks: He was regarded as the tamer or father of horses, [2] who, with a strike of his trident, created springs (the terms for horses and springs are related in the Greek language). [4] His Roman equivalent is Neptune. A triton (see §Tritons below) and merman are synonymous in heraldry, [15] and the figure may often carry a trident. [16]E-ri-nu ( Erinys) is attested in the inscriptions. [29] In some ancient cults Erinys is related to Poseidon and her name is an epithet of Demeter. [30] Dusing the Mycenean period the ancestral male gods of the Myceneans were probably not represented in human forms, and the information given by the tablets found at Pylos and Knossos is insufficient. [32] Poseidon was the chief deity at Pylos and Thebes. He is identified with Anax and he carried the title "Master of the Underworld". Anax had probably a cult associated with the protection of the palace. [24] In Acrocorinth he was worshipped as Poseidon Anax during the Mycenean age. [25] In the city there was the famous spring Peirene which in a myth is related to the winged horse Pegasus. [34] In Attica there was a cult of Anax heroes who was connected to Poseidon. [25] A cult title of Poseidon was "earth-shaker" and in Knossos he was worshipped together with the goddess Eleithyia who was related to the annual birth of the divine child. [25] Potnia was the Mycenean goddess of nature and Sex Shifter: Inari, the husband/wife of Uke Mochi who according to Word of God simply takes the gods' ability to change their appearances to the logical extreme, reflecting how Inari is thought of as different genders in different areas.

Secondly, while "the eldest" is assumed to indicate their prominence, it could just literally mean "the oldest" — in which case it would point at a child of Aphrodite as she is older than all of Kronos' children.Triton ( / ˈ t r aɪ t ɒ n/; Greek: Τρίτων, translit. Trítōn) is a Greek god of the sea, the son of Poseidon and Amphitrite, god and goddess of the sea respectively. Triton lived with his parents in a golden palace on the bottom of the sea. Later he is often depicted as having a conch shell he would blow like a trumpet. [ citation needed]
