Also claiming that Zeus children are the most powerful because their father is King of the Gods isn't a good argument. Yes he is the king, but that doesn't mean he is the most powerful; only that he is the best for the job. He demands respect and for the most part keeps the gods in line. His two brothers, who may be just as powerful (if not more), wouldn't demand that same kind of respect. Poseidon has his own kingdom in the ocean and is too laid back to really demand respect. Hades who is the oldest of the three also has his own realm, but is untrusted by the other gods most of the time. Zeus has only one throne and runs Olympus, but that doesn't make him the most powerful. In fact at one point the other gods trapped him and forced him to be a better leader.
