Poseidon played a huge role in Greek mythology. He is the god of the sea, and controls whatever goes on in the sea. In the stories like Iliad, He is always in the middle of the action. I thought they displayed that well in the Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. In the book, he is just like he is in all of the old Greek stories. He's powerful and the god of the sea, and he is Percy Jackson's father, and Poseidon is always demanding. That's part of the role of being a leader, and Poseidon definitely was.
In Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, Poseidon is tough and fearless, and he is always in charge. He fought against Zeus in the book, but in the old stories it says he was nice to Zeus, but not Hades, his brother and the leader of the underworld. I think the author did that to add some friction between the gods, and make for a more interesting story. I like the change they made. I thought it added more suspense to the tale and made it a better story. Poseidon was on his phone for a little in the book, and this is definitely a change because they obviously didn't have phones back then.
I like your piece but it needs an author's note.
