A child of a more powerful god being more powerful than a child of a less powerful god you say? Well, what about all we've said about parentage and power being invalid? Hazel is less powerful than Percy yet managed to beat him in a thread, and if what you're saying has validity in tewrms of power, explain your vote for Will Sollace against Leo Valdez, the first fire user in centuries and one of the seven most powerful demigods alive.

Superhuman strength you say? Wow, Persephone has that? I would think so. She's a goddess, which Amphitrite became once she marrried Poseidon, so even though we do not have much stories about Amphitrite since she cares the least about her husband and his exploits, we can make a 'logical conclusion' that Amphitrite has super human strength as well. How, you ask? She's also a goddess.

Next, manipulating the ground, you say? You forget, Poseidon is the Earthshaker. Hades only even draws the ground because he's always in it and because precious metals are in the ground, and maybe cause the dead are buried in the ground, though I'm not sure about that one. Anyway, point being Amphitrite beats Persephone hands down as long as we're talking about powers over the ground.

Next, can control the dead you say? If Persephone is bringing an army of undead warriors then what about an army of nereids for Amphitrite. Oops! Back to square one.

And finally I have not read that book yet though it is sitting in my school library, but 'manipulating stygian sleep' would do absolutely nothing against Amphitrite.

Five points made. Five successfully countered. I pretty much was gonna say everything you just said..We also forget at Persephone has never shown power over the dead unless Hades was around. I think its similar to how Athena is able to use Zeus' lightning bolts, but with his 'permission'. So honestly we don't even know if Persephone could raise the dead, which leaves her with earth powers, but her plant powers can be cancelled out(Amphitrite can suck the water out of them). Leaving Persephone with ground powers...but O WAIT! Amphitrite is the wife of the god of earthquakes!

Seriously@8th if Persephone can control the dead because of her husband then shouldn't Hera summon lightning and control the wind?
