![]() ![]() Following Kratos' meddling with time and summoned by Zeus after the latter's defeat at the hands of his son, the God of the Seas witnesses with horror the assault of the Titans and Kratos against Olympus itself, which drives him to put aside his grievances with his brothers. Poseidon would then briefly returns in God of War II as a secondary character, where he is notably seen facing the Titans long before the events of the series alongside his fellow gods. As time passed, Poseidon became more and more suspicious of Zeus' behaviour, secretly doubting of the latter's ability to protect Olympus. Its destruction deeply infuriated the God of the Seas, who promised the Spartan that he would later pay for this sin towards him. His anger would become manifest when Kratos started meddling in the affairs of Atlantis, one of Poseidon's sacred sanctuaries. Unbeknownst to him, Poseidon as well as all his fellow gods would fell prey to the evils released by the opening of Pandora's Box. Poseidon is introduced in God of War (2005) as a minor supporting character, personally requesting Kratos to deal with the Hydra that terrorized the Aegean Sea, and granting the Spartan a fraction of his powers. His domain was so important that Poseidon's power was considered second only to Zeus, and at least equal, if not superior, of that of Hades. In the wake of the uprising of the Olympians led by Zeus and following their decisive victory, Poseidon was deemed to become one of the most important and powerful deities of the Greek Pantheon, gaining full authority over the seas and the weather as a whole. Poseidon made a name for himself at the height of the Great War where he notoriously helped his brother Hades subdue the gigantic Atlas, before taking on his father himself. Seeking retribution, Poseidon willingly took part of the rebellion against the Titans, playing a decisive role in what would became known as the First Titanomachy. ![]() But Poseidon wasn't the chosen one, and he would spend a long time prisoner of Cronos' stomach before Zeus came to free his siblings. His early life didn't exactly begin under the best auspices, as like his unfortunate siblings, Poseidon was victim of his father's madness and ended up swallowed by the Titan in a desperate attempt to prevent his demise at the hands of one of his children. Last but not least, Poseidon had family bonds with legendary warriors such as Hercules, Theseus and Kratos himself, though the latter has long been unaware of this particular link. He was also the unfaithful husband of Amphitrite and the uncle of powerful deities such as Ares, Athena and Hephaestus. Son of the Titans Cronos and Rhea, Poseidon was most notoriously known as the powerful brother of Zeus and Hades as well as Demeter, Hera and Hestia. Poseidon (Greek: Ποσειδῶν) was the Olympian God of the Seas, Rivers, Water, Storms, Tempests, Winds, Hurricanes, Rain, Floods, Drought, Earthquakes and Horses.
