Just to point out, the power of the olympians was heavily nerfed by Riordan, probably to make them more human and thus relatable. in myth, Zeus single handedly defeated Typhon, and Apollo's (or Helios) sun chariot alone nearly destroyed Gaia when Phaeton drove it. So, it may be that Poseidon isnt far beneath Zeus in power in the books, but Zeus will still win, being the king and the oldest (and youngest at the same time, the gods are confusing)
