Poseidon's Throne



Poseidon's throne is the throne of Poseidon in the Hall of the Gods. It is decorated with corals and has a built-in holster for a trident. It is described as a deep sea fishing chair. Percy once sat on it trying to communicate with his father in The Last Olympian during the Battle of Manhattan on Mount Olympus and he felt the power of sea at his disposal. It was so powerful Percy nearly spontaniously combusted, for when he lept down from the throne after trying to contact his father, Grover comments on the smoke coming off of Percy. When Poseidon started talking to Percy, he claims he would have blasted Percy if he hadn't looked and saw it was Percy, not an attacker. In the end, Poseidon forgave Percy for sitting on his throne, since it was an emergency. Percy describes how he felt when he sat on Poseidon's throne: like he was controlling the whole ocean. He realized how powerful his dad was and felt as though Poseidon should be the one in charge, and thought of how it must be with eleven other gods all trying to get their own way. This shows how Poseidon probably felt but controlled himself (as Percy did). It is shown that the throne lent power to Percy as he said "he felt the power of the ocean flowing through him". This was when Kronos tried to destroy the throne at the end of the Last Olympian. Percy was able to cut Kronos' armor and drive him away.

It is placed in the right side or the male's side of the Hall. It is the first in the line because he is one of the Big Three and one of the eldest gods. His throne is before Hephaestus' Throne and is opposite to Demeter's Throne.

Poseidon's throne was made of gray/green white streaked marble. The arms were sea beasts and he sat on a seal skin. It was decorated with coral, gold chips and pearls.
