Thrones



The thrones of the Greek 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 their throne is one of the ways to defeat a god, and why 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 god'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, and they are not divided by gender. The thrones do not appear to match the gods' powers however; instead they appear to be made of white marble and celestial bronze.

The Titan's Curse
While Percy is at the Council of Winter Solstice, he describes some of the god's thrones (with Hades pulling up a small chair).

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 forgave 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 realized how powerful his dad was and felt as though Poseidon should be the one in charge, and thought of how it must be with eleven other gods all trying to get their own way.

Poseidon's

According to Percy, it isn't nearly as grand as Zeus' throne. It has a molded black leather seat which was attached to a swivel pedestal, and with a built-in holster for a fishing pole.

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.
