| “ | Percy, lesser beings do many horrible things in the name of the gods. That does not mean we gods approve. The way our sons and daughters act in our names… well, it usually says more about them than it does about us. And you, Percy, are my favorite son. | „ |
| ~ Poseidon talking to Percy |
Summary
Poseidon is the Greco-Roman god of the sea, earthquakes, and storms and the elder brother of Zeus. He is referred to as one of the Big Three, the three most powerful Greek Gods, and is the father of Perseus Jackson, whom he conceived with a mortal in violation of the treaty made decades ago after the end of World War II. As such he is rarely present in Percy's life, but does his best to observe and support his demigod son.

Weaknesses: Poseidon is prideful and fast to rage. Furthermore, he has all the weaknesses of a normal god: They can be injured by supernatural weapons if they decide to fight physically; he/she may weaken, age, and take the form to represent their current state of said domain if its attacked; they fade from existence — either from a lack of worship or the diminishing of their domain and if their thrones (or other sources of power) are destroyed, they will also fade along with it or become so weakened that they can no longer take a physical form. The only way to permanently defeat a god is to scatter their essence

- True Form: Like the rest of the Greek Gods, Poseidon possesses a "True Form" that manifests when he gathers all of his essence in one place.

- Transfiguration: Poseidon is able to transmute and transfigure virtually anything into anything else with ease, for example transforming a seamonster as big as a gym into millions of goldfishes.
