Talk:Zeus

So who was Zeus`s kid in world war 2

It never really says who any child of the big three is. All we know is that the sons of Zeus and Poseidon were on the Allies side, wheras the sons of Hades were on the Axis side. I personally believe Winston Churchill was a son of Zeus and FDR was a son of Poseidon. It's also almost certain one or more of the Axis leaders was a son of Hades, most likely Hitler and/or Mussolini.Sonofjones 02:22, February 20, 2010 (UTC)

Poseidon compared to Zeus
The books are not 100% clear on who is more powerful. Based on actual mythology, which the books follow fairly closely Zeus was always the more powerful brother with Poseidon being a close second. In the books it is no 100% clear who is more powerful. However, it is presented pretty clearly that Zeus's master bolt is considered the most powerful weapon. Otherwise, the only real comparision we have between them is the battle with Typhon, but all combatants had been fighting for weeks and Typhon himself was in chains at the time so he would have difficulty defending himself.

It took all of the Gods to put Typhon into Mt. Etna, but it was Poseidon, not Zeus, who cast Typhon into Tartarus. And Poseidon was tired and weakened anyway, as was Typhon. So does that make Poseidon more powerful than Zeus? BleedingEffect (talk &bull; contribs) 13:09, August 2, 2010 (UTC)

This does not make Poeidon more powerful for several reasons. One, the two have been rivals for centuries. If Poseidon was that much stronger he would have overthrown his brother a long time ago. Two, in some versions Zeus himself was able to defeat Typhon in the past. Other versions required the intervention of the fates to weaken Typhon enough for Zeus to defeat him. Three, Poseidon obviously to some degree fears the master bolt. The first book established it was the most powerful weapons and Typhon surivived at least one if not more strikes from it. Four, Poseidon was weakened from his battle. Typhon was weakened by battling the other gods. So none were in great shape when they battled. So its not possible to tell if Typhon was strong enough to even really defend himself at that point. All comtantants were weakened. Typhon's whole plan was to get to Olympus and by destroying it it would weaken the other gods. Finally, Typhon was bout in chains by the Cyclopses limiting his movements and abilities to defend himself. Poseidon got off a good hit, but we don't know if he would have even been able to do that before that moment. The other gods were also continuously attacking at the same time.

In short, all the combantants were too weak to make any real conclusions. We have no idea if Poseidon just got off a lucky shot by taking him by surprise or near his las legs. Typhon was bound in chains limiting his movements while all the gods bearing down on him. Poseidon and the Cyclopses he brought were able to bind a weakened Typhon enough to banish him. If it has been Poseidon fighting with the gods for weeks and Zeus being the one who fought a Titan, but came at the last moment the results could easily have been the same.seekquaze1
