If we go by mythology, Zeus would win hands down. in the Illiad he mentions infront of all the gods that he is the strongest amongst all of them, and even Poseidon submits to his orders to leave the field of war when he threatens him. Also Zeus defeated both Poseidon AND Apollo and banished them from Olympos to work as slaves to build the walls of Troy when they tried to overthrow him. In Percy Jackson, Zeus would also win because of the fact that the heaves, his domain, is above and thus superior to Poseidon's. Also, Riordan does stick pretty close with original mythology so my above statements would count as well. Now if their was a gote amongst fans, Poseidon would win because of his popularity as Percy's father and because, of all the gods, his power is shown the most to the readers, also because Percy is his son.
