I like both Poseidon and Athena. As for who is the better god, well, the answer is obvious: no one. No Greek God at all.

Still, I will definitely side with Poseidon than Athena. Here's why:

1. Poseidon is the freaking Lord of the Oceans and several other things. The Greeks and the Romans were terrified of this guy. Even the Younger Olympians are scared to fight him.

2. Granted that Poseidon lost Athens, but according to the Ancient Greek writers, he was the protector of Greece. Besides, who even wants to rule a city when you can rule oceans huger than the Mongol Empire.

3. Athena has only skill, human knowledge and standard godly powers. She has more muscles than Ares. That is nothing compared to Lord Poseidon's earthquakes, storms, floods and his über powerful trident. At best, she can only survive Poseidon's attacks.

4. Polybotes was more powerful than Enceladus. And still he is nothing compared to Poseidon who can grow hundreds of feet tall, raze entire cities and sink entire fleets of ships.

5. Athena is too smart. She is more into defense and strategy rather than full frontal combat. The last thing she needs is to make one of the greatest and most powerful gods who can chuck entire mountains and islands go Typhon on her. She'd be foolish to do that.

Athena is really cool because she is so hypercompetent, but Poseidon is way more awesome. People, there is a reason why Poseidon is one of the Three most powerful Gods of Greece.
