You challenge me, mortal?! A God of Olympus?! Also, his personal army, his "children", the Tritons, appear as enemies. Infuriated with Kratos for releasing Thera, the Titaness of fire, and having her destroy Atlantis, his beloved city, he vows he will never forget Kratos' actions, promising he would one day answer for them. Later, he manifests himself through one of his statues. While Poseidon does not appear physically, the Ocean God attacks Kratos with a massive whirlpool and other hazards as the Spartan tries to make his way back to the now sunken Atlantis. –Poseidon's anger for Atlantis' destruction You have desecrated my kingdom! I will not forget this, Ghost of Sparta! You will answer for this afront! Poseidon speaks to Kratos through a statue. In this section, Kratos obtained Poseidon's Trident, granting him the ability to breathe underwater and dive. Poseidon was also given a section devoted to him in Pandora's Temple. After destroying the beast, the nightmare the Hydra had caused for many sailors in the Aegean Sea came to an end. This ability would also be of important use while battling against the Hydra King, the strongest and largest of the Hydra's heads. With this magical ability, Kratos was able to cast a stream of lightning through his body into his enemies, destroying them or weakening them enough so that he may finish them off. During this feat, he was met by Poseidon, who granted Kratos the gift of Poseidon's Rage. Arriving upon a mess of shipwrecks, Kratos battled the various heads of the Hydra. The Spartans docked safely at their destination, infuriating Poseidon even further.įor a period of time, the vicious beast known as the Hydra terrorized the Aegean Sea, until Kratos, guided by Athena, was called upon.
He then sent the Sea Snake to kill the Spartans, but the beast was killed by Kratos. Although the Spartans survived, Poseidon created a massive whirlpool which dragged the Spartans closer and closer to the bottom of the sea.
After the Spartans took Herodius' ship, Poseidon, enraged at Kratos for costing him the wager, unleashed his Hippocampi upon the ship. Herodius entered said contest to save his people from a plague secretly created by Poseidon, but never returned, as Kratos and his Spartans killed both Herodius and his army. At first, Poseidon kept his champion a secret from the others until finally revealing the Theran warlord Herodius as his champion.
The ultimate goal was to capture the healing elixir, Ambrosia. Poseidon briefly appeared as a contender in the wager of the gods, a contest in which they would each choose one mortal to represent them. He took Amphitrite as his wife and watched over the waters of Greece, being worshiped by sailors to grant safe passage in his waters. After the Blade of Olympus was created and the Titans were banished to the Tartarus the pit of torment, Poseidon was given dominion over all seas. With Poseidon further electrocuting Atlas, Hades was able to capture the Titan's soul, making him stronger. Hades reacted swiftly and with his fiery chains he grasped onto Atlas. After Atlas saved his uncle Cronos from having his soul captured by Hades, Atlas was electrocuted by Poseidon's thunder, bringing him to his knees. During a great battle between the Gods and the Titans, Poseidon aided his brother Hades to bring down the mighty Atlas. When he was released, he fought alongside his brother, Zeus, in the Great War of the Gods and Titans. Like most of his siblings, Poseidon was swallowed by the Titan King Cronos. When she was later beheaded by the hero Perseus, Chryasor and Pegasus emerged. Angered by the blasphemy but unable to harm Poseidon, Athena changed Medusa into a Gorgon.
In the known Greek Mythos, he raped Medusa on the floor of one of Athena's temples. Like his youngest brother Zeus, Poseidon was known for having many human lovers. Poseidon and Amphitrite, a nymph and ancient sea-goddess and daughter of Oceanus, had many children including Triton, the messenger of the sea and herald to Amphitrite, Theseus, the cyclops Polyphemus, and Orion the giant master hunter. Linear B tablets show that Poseidon was venerated at Pylos and Thebes in pre-Olympian Greece, but he was integrated into the Olympian gods as the middle brother of Hades and Zeus and fifth of all of his siblings, generally considered a little less powerful than Zeus. In Roman mythology, he was known as Neptune.
