It has occurred to me recently that Zeus has no apparent power over the earth listed here or referenced. now this may be a deliberate decision of Riordan to not mention it or leave it as going without saying.

what exactly am I smoking when I say Zeus has no apparent power over earth and why should it matter. well the myths. the reason is simple when deciding on which domains to rule. the earth could not be claimed. Hades took the underworld which is the not the upper earth you think of. it is the under-earth where Gaea has no power. Poseidon is lord of earthquakes. seems a little odd doesn't it. unless you consider control over Gaea was to be shared between all 3 brothers.

In other words Zeus should have powers over the earth equal to but, not necessarily in the same manner as his 2 brothers.

Discuss on why this may or may not be the case here please.
