      Don't get me wrong, but I know Poseidon can be moody and such. But in Percy Jackson and The Lightning Thief, Poseidon mostly cares about his son mostly. When I saw Poseidon and Zeus meeting up with each other, i heard Poseidon said: You're accusing my son? I haven't seen him since he was a baby, he doesn't know me and doesn't know much because of you. And then Zeus said: If he is the thief, I'll sent him to the pits of Tartarus. And then Poseidon grabs him by his jacket aggressively. And he said: You touch him, you'll have to go through me. When I saw them doing that. I thought they were about to going at each other. But I was wrong.

    Several ancient or classical texts mention that Zeus was the greatest and most powerful god, more powerful than Poseidon.
    In the Iliad, book 8, Zeus tells the other gods how powerful he is :
    "Come, try me, immortals, so all of you can learn.
    Hang a great golden cable down from the heavens,
    lay hold of it, all you gods, all goddesses too:
    you can never drag me down from sky to earth,
    not Zeus, the highest, mightiest king of kings,
    not even if you worked yourselves to death.
    But whenever I'd set my mind to drag you up,
    in deadly earnest, I'd hoist you all with ease,
    you and the earth, you and the sea, all together,
    then loop that golden cable round a horn of Olympus,
    bind it fast and leave the whole world dangling in mid-air-
    that is how far I tower over the gods, I tower over men."
    Zeus was known by other names in other places or regions in Antiquity.

      In Ancient Greek Religion/now Mythology Zeus is the strongest deity with only exceptions the Primordial Goddesses Ananke (force, constraint, necessity) and Heimarmene (in particular, the orderly succession of cause and effect, or rather, the fate of the universe as a whole, as opposed to the destinies of individual people). Some times we can see Poseidon or Hera defying him but only up to some level. When they are one step before the full rupture they step back.

      He could never lose the Being of what is represented in his Essence, which is a depth that will never be fully lit. In this way, one could say he is 'more' powerful. This would misrepresent the idea, crucially, the infinite scope of that to be discovered, does not designate power, but only potential for realization of itself. This understanding... through Zeus, becomes apparent that the Light it more powerful, but it's illumination. Again, we would be arguing purpose here, and this is not necessary in the sense that that which is unknown, must become known. It isn't hard to see that interplay being of utmost importance here, and while knowledge reigns, there will always be something to learn.

    I've been studying ancient culture, mythology, and religion for ages. I've had an understanding that the Judaic "devil" was a conflation of multiple entities. When relating to Greek, it includes Cronus, Zues, Hades, Poseidon and Hermes as well as possibly others. From there, I deduced that Zues, Hades and Poseidon were actually the same entity. I did not, however, know about the Mycenae take on this. I appreciate this video so much. It's opened up a whole new branch of research for me. Can't wait to see if they have any explanation of Hermes being involved in this misunderstanding.

      Interesting, so the Big 3 Bros of the Greek Gods were perhaps all different aspects of the Devil?
      Like the idea that, in a view from Christianity, all the Gods/Goddesses, Titans or monsters or Demigods from other religions were, more often than not, Fallen Angels or Nephilium. And so after their Rebellion against God, they tried to lead humans astray and to worship them instead, and used heavenly powers to control what mortals saw as their Spheres of Influence.
