Poseidon is god of the underworld. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.89.216.3 (talk) 01:51, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

No. Hades is the god of the underworld. Poseidon is the god of the sea. Feinoha Talk 04:46, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

Wait a minute. 184.89.216.3, you're the one who said Poseidon is the god of the sky!! Please take your vandolizational comments elsewhere. Dragonlover21 (talk) 20:26, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

I'm not sure he maybe vandalizing, but Poseidon, Demeter, and Persephone were worshipped together (Pre-Greek or something else) as deities overseeing the Earth, Underworld, and the cycle of life and Death. Hades was "derived" from Poseidon, apparently:
Some information can be obtained from the study of the cult of Eileithyia at Crete, and the cult of Despoina. In the cave of Amnisos at Crete, Eileithyia is related with the annual birth of the divine child and she is connected with Enesidaon (The earth shaker), who is the chthonic aspect of the god Poseidon.[1]

Persephone was conflated with Despoina, "the mistress", a chthonic divinity in West-Arcadia. The megaron of Eleusis is quite similar with the "megaron" of Despoina at Lycosura. Demeter is united with her, the god Poseidon, and she bears him a daughter, the unnameable Despoina. Poseidon appears as a horse, as it usually happens in Northern European folklore. The goddess of nature and her companion survived in the Eleusinian cult, where the following words were uttered "Mighty Potnia bore a great sun". In Eleusis, in a ritual, one child ("pais") was initiated from the hearth. The name pais (the divine child) appears in the Mycenean inscriptions, and the ritual indicates the transition from the old funerary practices to the Greek cremation.

Poseidon's son's

In the Ancient Greek times, it was all about the men. Poseidon had a lot of different types of sons including Polyphemus, the cyclops, Arion, the horse, and Perseus, a demigod who rescued Princess Andromeda. All are different, cyclops, horse, demigods. Books and movies have been made about Poseidon's sons including Polyphemus the great. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.28.19.109 (talk) 16:50, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

No, Perseus is the son of Zeus not Poseidon, wrong. Personthingstuff (talk) 18:01, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
Actually, Perseus is the son of Poseidon. Dragonlover21 (talk) 20:29, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
The only thing that says that is Percy Jackson and that is a very loose adaptation Personthingstuff (talk) 18:27, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
That's correct, Perseus was the son of Zeus and Danaë, see for example: Homer, Iliad 14.312–321.

please change "Poseidon appears in Percy Jackson and the Olympians as the father of Percy Jackson and Tyson the Cyclops. He also appears in the ABC television series Once Upon a Time as the guest star of the second half of season four played by Ernie Hudson."

from the "In literature and art" section to

"Poseidon appears in Percy Jackson and the Olympians & The Heroes of Olympus as the father of Percy Jackson and Tyson the Cyclops. He also appears in the ABC television series Once Upon a Time as the guest star of the second half of season four played by Ernie Hudson."

if the addition doesn't work as a link here is the link to the Wikipedia article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Heroes_of_Olympus A big dumb (talk) 06:55, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

@A big dumb: Instead of linking to another book series, would you say that it would be more concise to link to Camp Half-Blood Chronicles instead? I haven't personally read the books or watched the movies, but to my knowledge, Percy is a recurring character and his father wouldn't change in the same fictional universe. ◢  Ganbaruby!  (Say hi!) 11:45, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
