It's funny how Hades bribes Poseidon with the city of Athens. In the original myths Poseidon and Athena competed to be the patron god of the city. Poseidon created a war horse for protection, and Athena created an olive tree for peace, with the argument that the war horse only incites war. Athena won and the city was named in her honor, and the two gods have been feuding ever since. Bribing Poseidon with the city is probably the best thing to bribe him with.
ArdaxElementus and Athena is all wise like with her calling Poseidon Seaweed Brain only for their children be in a romantic relation with the same nickname
Collin McLean it's actually sad cuz Poseidon raped Medusa.. not only did the beautiful uncursed Medusa catch Poseidon's eye he raped her bc of his deul with Athena.. like Medusa was a great and loyal follower/priestess of Athena therefore she has to remain a virgin like Athena.. she even took an oath.. and f*cking Poseidon goes and ruins her life.. Athena should've punished Poseidon.. it's not like Medusa could've stopped him.. well she did date him for a while.. but she didn't see THAT coming
PipaPlays Athena wasn't really innocent either, she knew Medusa was raped but decided to punish her anyways because she was jealous of her hair and looks.
The strange thing is, in the original Greek myths, Poseidon was way more of a villain- figure than Hades (Who was generally more of a neutral, "Don't mess with me and I won't mess with you" kind of god). Exhibit A) Poseidon caused Medusa to be turned from a beautiful maiden into a hideous gorgon by raping her in a temple devoted to Athena worship, arousing Athena's wrath. Exhibit B) Speaking of his womanizing turning women into monsters, his fooling around with Scylla caused her too to be transformed from a beautiful nymph into a horrible, six- headed, man- eating beast. Exhibit C) In the Odyssey, Poseidon hit Odysseus and his crew with one jerk- move after another. Usually, when a man wrongs a god, the god punishes him or her once, but Poseidon just kept hitting them again and again and again.
Why is Poseidon so under-utilised in a lot of media except for Percy Jackson? He’s the second most powerful god there is, he rules the ocean that covers 75% of the planet, and has absolutely insane powers.
@@michaelcollins2030 Actually to the ancient Greeks Poseidon was far more relevant than Hades. The greeks were largely seafaring and were terrified of earthquakes. Pacifying Poseidon was paramount. Hades was more or less cool doing his own thing in the underworld. Poseidon was either really chill or extremely angry.
Poseidon is diet Zeus in terms of personality. With Hades you either get a Satan allegory or if you want to be accurate the level headed brother to Zeus. Poseidon is Zeus if he was somehow less responsible
The movie just had everyone give Hades the stink eye, it's kinda refreshing to see someone being on good terms with him, even if Hades scams him in the end.
Fun fact, in the original myths Poseidon was in competition with Athena to become the Patron God of the city of Athens (although it wasn't called Athens yet). I forget how it went, but Athena won the competition and thus the city got called "Athens" after her. Poseidon forever held a grudge against her and Athens and was looking for ways to claim Athens as his own city.
How could they make Poseidon not important in the movie? He is one of the big 3. Though to be fair, Jason Alexander already contributed to The Hunchback of Notre Dame in movies, the rest of stuff for Disney he mainly contributes to TV.
That’s really James Woods. Hades is one of his favorite characters, and he’s been happy to reprise the character whenever Disney needs him, including in video games like “Kingdom Hearts”.
Heard she was suppose to be part of the series but as Hades' DAUGHTER, the whole thing about her spending half the year with Demeter n half with Hades was a custody dispute I think
Jason Alexander as Poseidon who, in this episode, is the literal architect of marine life. And! Not only is he an architect but a marine biologist as well. 🤯 dreams do come true 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Fun Fact : in Ancient Greek mythology there was an argument between Poseidon and Athena if who would get to name Athens. Athena won by providing the people Olive trees.
Jason Alexander does the voice of Poseidon. As George in Seinfeld in the famous "Marine Biologist" episode, his famous final monologue is about a sea mammal they ran into on the beach and has "blowhole" as the comedic clímax.
Anyone else notice that the fish and Poseidons Trident is the same exact one from the movie that Hercules used to try and fight off the River guardian.
"He's got the heavens AND the earth!" The surface area of the earth alone is 70% water. On top of that, that's only taking surface volume into account: while the vast majority of non-aquatic life can only survive within the narrow window of the surface of land masses, oceans are habitable from top to bottom and have life and ecosystems at every depth, AND that depth exceeds the entire terrestrial habitable window by a great deal, such that you could submerge entire mountains into the mariana trench neatly. Claiming poseidon got screwed because he got "just the oceans" is comparable to zeus taking the pickle and leaving the entire rest of the burger for poseidon
Zeus: heavens, mount olympus, lightning, king of the Gods Poseidon: Seas, earthquakes Hades: underworld, tartarus, creatures, not the god of death ruler of the dead
It's fun to notice that in the original mythology, Zeus and Poseidon are terrible people while Hades is just chilling with his wife and doggo and being a good guy...
If Poseidon wanted Athens so bad, then he really should have given them a better gift than a SALT water spring compared to Athena giving them a olive tree.
Funny thing is that some archaeologists believe Hades and Poseidon were the same dude at some point and the Minoans considered that god the chief god, not Zeus.
@@josephallen1695 yes, Thalassa and her brother Pontus were children of Gaia, they are the physical incarnations of the sea itself rather than deities that have dominion over it.

In actual Greek mythology, Hades was the one who was content with his domain and Poseidon who was salty about his.
Why would Poseidon hate ruling the seas? He owns half the earth and could wipe out all humanity with a flood
70%
Ikr.. I really feel sorry for Hades
Classy Villain Gaming *rimshot*
Well he did try to overthrew his brother zeus before so maybe that s why he said that Poséidon was salty about his domain.
Fun fact: Poseidon actually attempted to overthrow Zeus along with Hera Apollo and Athena. Hades was never a participant.
Hades was busy working. Being Lord of the Dead is a difficult job.
