Thrones



The thrones of the Gods are the seats owned by the Olympians in the Hall of the Gods. The 12 thrones were arranged in an inverted 'U'. A god's power is connected to their thrones ,so destroying them is one of the ways to defeat the Gods, Kronos wanted to destroy the Hall of the Gods. They were all built by Hephaestus, with the first throne belonging to Zeus.

The Lightning Thief
Percy met with Poseidon and Zeus. He saw all the gods's thrones for the first time.

However, in the movie they are not arranged with the girls on one side and the boys on the other. Also, where Zeus and Hera are meant to sit side by side at the head (similar to arrangement of cabins at camp), Zeus is all by himself.

The Titan's Curse
While Percy is at the Council of Winter Solstice, he describes some of the god's thrones.

The Last Olympian
Percy sat on Poseidon's throne to try and contact his father. When Poseidon arrived, he would have blasted Percy if he hadn't looked and hesitated. In the end, Poseidon forgived Percy for sitting on his throne, since it was an emergency. Percy describes how he felt when he sat on Poseidon's throne: Like he was controlling the whole ocean. He realised how powerful his dad was and felt as though Posidon should be the one in charge, and thought of how it must be with eleven other gods all trying to get their own way.

Zeus
Zeus had a simple throne made out of solid platinum. While Zeus was praising the heroes that saved Olympus from Kronos, he also pointed out his throne was a little dented.

Hera

Poseidon

Instead of a pole, the holster held a bronze trident, flickering with green light around the tips. Basically, it looked like a chair on a deep-sea boat, that you would sit in it if you want to hunt shark or marlin or sea monsters.
