Long Ago in the Faraway Land of Greece there was the God Poseidon.
During this tragic time, Titans were ravaging the earth, and the world was not safe for anyone.
Poseidon and his wife Amphitrite headed up to Olympus where Zeus was holding his war council.
"Can anything be done about the Titans?" Zeus said.
Poseidon stood to stop his brother from pacing. "Why not just imprison them? With the power of your Thunderbolts and my Trident we will put them in their place!"
"Excellent idea!" Zeus said. "Did you all hear the idea I had! We'll imprison the Titans."
And so, Zeus was praised for yet another of Poseidon's ideas.
Together, Poseidon and Zeus imprisoned the Titans, after the other gods lured them into a trap.
However, in the end, Zeus got all of the glory.
But that did not matter to Poseidon.
For Poseidon was about to gain a son.
This son would someday be lauded with Earth's mightiest heroes. This boy would be strong, and wise, and fearless! He would brave the depths of Tartarus to save a soul in need.
Who was this son?
Percy Jackson.
