Poseidon is AWESOME! I mean who couldn't like the dad of Percy Jackson
Something to keep in mind... In mythology, Poseidon actually led to the creation of Medusa, and his part in it is... Pretty F'ed up. Look it up, he isn't that great of a guy tbh
Poseidon is the best obviously. I mean, who doesn't like Poseiden.
POSEIDON IS THE BEST GOD EVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For the people that think Poseidon rules the ground well no not really I mean Hades is the ruler of the Underworld but I don't think that Poseidon really rules the ground I'm not going to say there isn't a god that rules the ground because there is a lot of gods but come on guys really?
POSEIDON IS THE BEST OF THE GREEK-ROMAN, EGYPTIAN, AND NORSE GODS
Yes, Poseidon is pretty cool, but one thing I would like is if everyone could just spell his name correctly. Look, I'm a twelve year old female kid and I'm spelling his name right. Also, for the comment below this one, how does Poseidon control ground? He is the god of the sea!
Poseidon is awsome just because he is ruler of the seas and controls the ground!!!!!!!
He is the best he could drowned every god with water and if sues shot a lightning bolt he could just surround him in water and make him shock himself.
Poseidon one of the original gods, child of the titans. God of the seas
Poseidon was usually in direct competition with Athena; they had a contest on who could win the favor of people and name a city after either Poseidon of Athena, Athena won over the hearts of the people therefor creating Athens.
Poseidon and Athena also created Medusa, who was a very beautiful maiden and saught after by Poseidon. Poseidon chased Medusa into Athena's temple and proceeded to rape her multiple times in the sacred temple. Athena was angered by the mockery made by Poseidon and cursed Medusa to become a horrible monster.
Poseidon and some of the best heroes and worst enemies in Greek legend. He married a mermaid named Amphitrite.
Poseidon is the strongest of the big three because he can control water, Air (Storm-Bringer powers) and Earth (Earth-Shaker powers)
Poseidon is a beast. I think in a one on one battle poseidon would win.
Poseidon can control the clouds (Zeus' territory)
because clouds are made out of water and since the sun heats the water in the sea, the water in the sea evaporates and becomes the clouds.He is also one of the big three.
If you look at it this way Poseidon had the strongest descendants. In fact he has the strongest demi-god descendant Achilles.....Proteus son of Poseidon, Thetis daughter of Proteus, And Achilles son of Thetis..... there are no strong demigods that will be able to defeat him unless he meets Hercules, maybe a problem but you don't know who's gonna win remember Achilles can bend water!
i am so glad he is the god of the water. who wants the sky? water is much more cooler but he should still be the king. he is much more powerful
POSEODON is the GOD OF THE SEAS and considered as one of the strongest and one of the BIG THREE. He is the MOst Cool god... he had fight with his brother Zeus and Hades and He thretened them. He is the Dad of Percy Jackson. Poseidon and bring violent earthquakes,stromes and typhoon and waves,, HE IS THE BRAVE OF ALL, He is one of the 6 children of Kronos and Rhea. but just beacause he Rhea did not save him he is not the kning otherwise he should be the choosen one. and his Trident can beat the crap of ZEUS s Lighting Bolt an HADES Dark Helmet... HE IS GREAT
His is so cool he has control of most of our planet 70% of it!!!!
Poseidon rocks!!!!! Ultimate god! Ruler of the seas! Victor over the giant [Sorry. Forgot the name]! Defeater of Typhoeus in Percy Jackson! Almost destroyed Odysseus! Father of the Pegasus and the ram with the Golden Fleece! One of the only gods to respect Medusa (The other was Hepheastus)! Father of horses! Go Percy Jackson! Also father of Poluphemus, Otus , Ephialtes, Cycnus, Despoena, Arion, Tyson, Antaeus, Triton, Theseus, and do you have 20 years? POSEIDON IS THE MOST COOL GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
POSEIDON RULES he should be king of gods instead of the old hag zeus
Many temples, large fountains, and eloquent pools were built at large vast cities, such as Cape Sounion " A chosen city, southern-most tip of Greece", also built at Pylos in Crete, and as well on Mount Mykale in Greek Anatolia. Freshwater springs, and irrigation canals, were often consecrated to Poseidon as well. Greek theatres are constructed from shell like structures and earthworks for protection from many earthquakes. Rowing sports were held in his honor off Cape Sounian. Famous in the Greek State of Chalcidice, because the state is in the shape they call the "Chalcidice Trident". Finally, famous for the "Megáli Naós tou Poseidona." (The Great Temple of Poseidon).
God of Rivers, Horses, Lakes, as well as, storms, and by some Greek sailors, and sea pioneers, a greatful God of Independence and other explorations into the unknown. Also, Atlantis, was, of course, his first holy chosen city.
Secretly, In competition with Zeus for power.
During Alexander's time, he was the protector of many Hellenistic cities, where his blue marble face would reflect light and fire on Mediterranean Seaport lighthouses.
Another tall tale legend has it he, also, escaped, from Cronos's cannibalism by replacing, instead of a rock his younger brother, Zeus used , but by with a bird covered in cloak.
VOTE FOR POSEIDON!!!! HE'S THE BEST!!!! MY FAVORITE EVER!!!! I AM ALSO THE ULTIMATE PERCYJACKSON FAN!!!!

Zeus is awesome he can throw lightning and he is the God above all gods in the world
ZEUS is so EPIC he can throw lightening. Vote for this if you LOVE ZEUS!!!!
Zeus killed Cronus and Cronus killed Uranus i think its pretty fair.
Zeus the god of the sky and air was self proclaimed king of the Olympians and humans.
Zeus married his sister Hera and saved his siblings from their titan father Cronus.
Zeus was a Misogynistic god, he had numerous affairs with young girls and teenage boys.
Zeus is powerful! even all the gods combined can't defeat him
Zeus Ruled Olympus. He was free to train himself as a child while the other gods were still inside Cronos'es stomach. He was the one who freed the cyclopses, giants and hundred-handers who in turn aided him in battle against the titans. He was the only one who stood up against Typhon and only got help from Hermes to retrieve him back a part of his foot torn off by Typhon while all the other gods and even Poseidon retreated like a posei-cat! He also had all of the other gods (excluding Hades, he was under a rock at that time) on the run when they tried to rebel against him, Zeus had Hera who lead the assault chained to the sky and enslaved two of her followers, Apollo and Poseidon, and forced them to build the walls of Troy. It may have even been said that he punished humans for their cannibalism by flooding the world, something you would expect Poseidon to do. Most of all, to the Greeks, Zeus was the only god that truly mattered to them.
King of the gods! Controls the sky and weather and his lightning bolts are thousands of times hotter than the surface of the sun!
He is a cool old man that has control of lightning, winds, storms, and the god of all the gods he is pretty cool
Main patron symbol to take over the great Persian nation.
Founder of many theaters, and temples; first cities were named after his children.
King of the gods, God of the sky, storms, judgement, courage, and law; "Father of Gods and men", who ruled Mount Olympus as a father ruled the family. The God of construction. Of course, his holy chosen city is Olympia. Secretly, In competition with Poseidon. Famous for the Temple of Zeus.

she is goddesses of wisdom , war strategy , the arts and skill in ancient greek religion mythology and as temple to the goddess.....
I don't think that Annabeth is really her daughter because in Percy Jackson it was just a story and its still true that gods never get to see their kids...

Athena is smart and great! She invented the loom, a way to make cloths and many other things such as her famous olive tree, which she beat Poseidon! You've got to make her higher then Poseidon!
I say that Athena has got to be third, because Zeus is the King of the Gods, and Poseidon... He's definitely second.
According to mythology Athena is even smarter than Zeus, and her plans always work.
I think that athena is the best goddess because she is even smarter than Zeus-and even strength has to bow to wisdom sometimes. I speak from experience.
Athena rocks!!!!!!! She is awesome I like all the goddesses but if I had to pick a favorite it would be Athena
Really cool God, but wouldn't Zeus or Poseidon be first? Just sayin!
Athena is like the structure of the Olympians NOT HERA she has great judgement and great battle tactics
Amazing nice smart but don't mess with her either goddess of war...
Ares, respects her as an irritation . He just CAN't STAND ANY OF HER HONORABLE & GLORIOUS FUNK!!!!
Athena is usually, the only one , Hades can trust, talk ,and be privileged in hell.
All gods, respect her, even Poseidon, though both loathed each other, but once they get along both do produce a greater compatibility, than many other gods, for major change on earth : both plotted taking over Zeus, both were main sources for the Greeks over the Trojans, and both worked together to create Greeks favorite sport Olympics chariot racing.

He is my favorite because he likes to mind his business and easily accepted his faith as basically Satan if you want to think about it from a biblical stand point
The guy's actually quite okay, never cruel nor unjust, he sometimes even gets swayed by his wife and gives a second chance to people.
He didn't choose the job but was assigned to it by Zeus.
Also, he's the least rapey of the three brothers: Zeus' rapeyness is (literally) legend and Poseidon's the kind of guy who'd rape a girl in a temple just to offend a fellow goddess.
Hades is super cool he is like a warrior army man
he lives in Hell!!!
Hades was an incredibly ferocious fighter he was feared by Zeus and Poseidon who had to trick him into the underworld after the defeat of the titans.
Eventually fell in love with Demeter's daughter, Persephone who was also his niece.
Hades' domain was a dark and lonely place but was also filled with beautiful and rare gemstones. He had a three headed guardian called Cerebus. Hades is the only god that does not commit adultery. He was not death, he was just the God of the dead realm but is still often portrayed as evil, while in most stories is passive. Thanatos was the embodiment of death.
god of wealth, dead and underworld creatures, i bet Hades is the most powerful of the three. everything dies goes down to underworld.. now who has the most number of sentry?
Even if he is not liked he must be in the top 3 : Zeus, Poseidon, Hades

I hate him because he is one of the most adulterous gods so much that he even had boyfriends
Guys! Apollo has a job you know! if weren't for him to wake us up with the sun, well who of you guys are alive... But he's a bitch sometimes I know. Well, also...which god can handle medicine, the sun, poetry, music and somehow archery(together with Artemis) altogether!
Okay, no offense to anyone, but Apollo is nowhere near as good as Gaia. I'm not saying Gaia is first (she's not) but she's better and more powerful than Apollo. Yeah, Rick Riordan portrayed her as the bad guy (or girl) but he's a fiction writer. Don't always believe him! I love his books, but they're not necessarily true.
Apollo pulls the sun in a chariot for cryin out loud!!
#Apollo #1
to help summarise what he is the god of he is actually god of everything good in society. also... my dog is named apollo making him my favorite even though i can admit he isnt the most powerful yet out of the olympian gods he is the second most powerful
he is Bad A** he is the god of the sun, poetry, medicine, archery, the chariot, sports, And music he is super cool!!!
Famous for one small step for man, one giant leap for the shining hour into the cosmos.
Plausibly, and possibly the most beautiful and gayest of all the gods!!!!!
God of music, a god of light and the sun; truth and prophecy; medicine, poetry and more.

I think Artemis should probably be the #1 here! She doesn't just wait for someone to do her bidding for her, but does it all herself! And, she defends her family instead of trying to hurt them!
Artemis is awesome she's independent and the symbol of women and she's amaze balls at archery and she has silver stags to pull her moon chariot
He is the best god ever and affects the outcome of things instead of sitting on his chair blasting people out of the sky with lightning.
it will be awsome to be a hunter of artemis i am a fan of percy jackson heros of olympus and kane chronicles
she awsome has a bow and arrows she is goddess of animals and nature and of hunt
Her cult is stil exist till today, maybe she's the only goddess that still worship by many

leo is the best because without him they would of all have died about a million times
no offense but hera threw him down the mountain because he was ugly
He hangs out in a volcano with cyclopses all day building robot. How can he not be the best? He's also married to Aphrodite and is more than willing to deal with Ares (the freaking god of war) when he sleeps with Hephaestus' wife. Also, without him, Zeus wouldn't have any lightning bolts, Poseidon his trident, half the gods their swords, and perhaps most importantly Apollo his chariot. That's right, Hephaestus made the sun with his hammer and forge. The only reason he isn't as popular is because the Romans hated him, since they favored Ares/Mars.

He was so desperate to feel power that he made an army to cause war so that there will be use for a wargod
Ares can overpower most other gods I would put him 3 behind Poseidon and Hades
I he isn't only the god of war, but he is also the god of defense. So it really would be a great fight between Athena and Ares because she has battle strategy and he has defense.
He's the god of war what do you expect a kind person with tons of feelings.
He's dumb. Look, you ever heard the saying: the pen is mightier than the sword? Well, it's true. Athena could beat Ares. She could make some genious battle plan, make some cool stuff and thrash him. Not to mention that every one I know believes I'm descended from Athena. Well, not descended, but I'm twelve, and I don't know a single other person, even an adult, who can talk with me in intelligent conversation.
I know he is the god of war but he needs to be nicer. I mean seriously? you are being mean to your own son
Although he is the god of war, he needs to keep his temper under control!
If you are the son or daughter of Ares, you get the blessing of Ares which makes you invincible and gives you more energy!!!!!!

wow really gods don't need agriculture to survive they don't really rely on anyone to survive plus they aren't real so yeah really just think about it
First thing first is that with out Demeter no God or goddess would be alive because she's the godess of agriculture so she should be number one she is kind and motherly.
the goddess of farming, crops , and fertile earth she is the most beautiful and kindest

Gaia was a Titan,meveryone khows that, even I do, and I'm ten! And she was referred evil because of her hatred to the Olympiams
Gods! Who said Gaia was evil? Riordan, huh? It's a FICTION AND FANTASY BOOK! She is a primordial by the way, stronger than the gods.
oh my god all these commants are based off of percy jackson plus alot of the things included in percy jackson are actually false news breaker guys and also gaia is a goddess just not an olympian there are many minor greek gods that arent olympians so please think about the comments u will post before u post them
Famous in the film animation:
Disney Fantasia 2000 "Firebird":
As queen mother , at a very young age, she begins to fill her world with green peace, until Chaos scares her and challenges her. She escapes, feeling hopeless. A deer, symbol of honor and abundance, helps her on her feet, and she continues her ongoing body growth.

She is also the goddess of crossroads and choices like Janus but cooler. She also invented the torch and is the goddess of illusions and she is kind because she tried to help Demeter find Persephone.
Hecate is awesome, she's even more powerful than Zeus, and she is MAGIC!! She supported the Titans in the battle, and without her help, the Titans would have lost in five seconds ( even though they did lose )
hekate is a titán, she was more powerful than zeus, and so he left her alone, she resides in the under world, and controls far more territory than hades, no one has ever opposed her, he power was primordial and didnt rely strength, so would be considered more powerful than kronos. making her stronger than all gods and titans, except for gaia(earth), nyx(night), erebus(dark) chaos(universe) Oceanus(water,seas) anything she needs to exist.

God Of Love. He is the youngest God and was rumored to create all the birds in the world with chaos! And he is adorable. :)
Comments:
He is the most influential god of them all and who can't live without love
Eros child of Aphrodite, was the god of love he carried a golden quiver with golden arrows and a great golden longbow.
Eros fell in love with a princess named Psyche who he eventually married, they loved each other eternally they had a daughter who's name translated to pleasure
Eros is usually portrayed as a baby with wings and Psyche having butterfly wings.

Humanity was in its "Golden age" during his reign so other than eating his kids he wasn't that bad
he is swallowed his dougther and he the father zeus,athena,aphrodite,poseidon,heatia,hera,artemis,apollo and demeter
Kronos is usually confused with Cronus who are two different deities. one being a god the other a titan.
Kronos was the Greek god of time.
kronos is a god also cronus and kronos are two seperate gods just because they arent olypians doesnt make them any less a god
Kronos wasn't a god...he was a titan therefore he shouldn't be on this list!

Trying to act smart? Cronos is the same as Kronos. Chronos is different though, with an h. And you got your facts wrong, guest, Uranus was thrown into the sea which Aphrodite was created from. Get your facts right, your embarassing yourself now.
Cronus not to be mistaken as Kronos the god of time- was the titan son of Ouranos and Gaia. He consumed his children after receiving a prophecy in which his children would over throw him. Ouranos his father eventually found out about the devouring of his grandchildren and castrated Cronus and flung his testicles into the ocean and then created Aphrodite which translates to "of the ocean" or "from seafoam" Cronus was given a rock or boulder by Rhea who he mistook as a small Zeus which in turn was Cronus' downfall.
Also, the first divine hero, to castrate the first worst father and the first golden age of mythology and power.
actually, Kronos was a titan and one of the worst fathers i've ever heard of.

Though Hera and Zeus hated him he should really be in the top ten since he does have an Olympian throne correct?
