Poseidon (Percy Jackson)

Poseidon is one of the main characters of the adaptation of The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan. He was portrayed by Kevin McKidd.

Personality
Poseidon is in stark contrast to his book counterpart. Despite being somewhat distant, Poseidon loves all his children. According to Sally, Percy's birth was the best thing that ever happened to Poseidon, as he loved both Sally and Percy. However, he was forced to abandon his lover and son, one of the hardest things he ever did. He even responded to Tyson when he asked for Poseidon's help in using one of the Hippocampi to helping transport his sons and their companion Annabeth Chase to the Princess Andromeda. Poseidon is sometimes into conflict with his brother, Zeus, and even threatened war on Zeus if he ever harmed Percy. However, Zeus did let Poseidon talk to Percy just once.
