In the final draft, Rick chose Poseidon over Zeus, so that Percy would never be too perfect and would always have to work really hard to be a hero. I'm glad Percy's a son of Poseidon instead of a son of Zeus too. It was so much better that way. And I'm also glad that Annabeth is a blonde as well. I don't know why, but I don't like brunettes. Though, if Percy were a son of Zeus, I think he would be like Jason, and Jason would be the son of Poseidon and be like Percy.
