On the subject of who's strongest. Don't you guys find it odd despite Zeus being king of the gods he and his children have the smaller spheres of power? I mean sure Jason and thalia can control wind,storms and electricity.But really that's it.

Children of Poseidon can control water,have perfect navigation skills while on water, can talk to fish and horses, have mastery over all liquids, can shape-shift and have superhuman skill (Sciron,Chrysaor)

Hades has mastery over the dead,darkness,precious metals,beings of the underworld, the styx,mortal life. It's like Zeus got the shallow end of the gene-pool
