## Role in the series

At the beginning of the series, Poseidon makes a bet with Athena and he was told her that he will never be able to reach his homeland, Ithaca.

After Odysseus has won the victory and defeated the Trojans during the war, the Odyssey continues following his voyage home as he was taken to the island of the Cyclops who were some of Poseidon’s sons. Not knowing what dwelt on the island and being quite lost, he and his men docked to ask for directions and replenished their supplies. They encountered one of Poseidon’s sons named Polyphemus. Polyphemus captured Odysseus and several of his men in his cave and refused to open it until the morning when he ate them.

He lulled Polyphemus to sleep by encouraging him to have the wine he had bough for bartering and when he was asleep stabbed him in the eye with an arrow, the confused and enraged cyclops fumbled around trying to find Odysseus but could not so he opened the door and waited for them to try to pass him, but he had already counted on this and covered himself and his men in sheep skins, bleating as they passed by with the rest of Polyphemus' heard of sheep so he could not tell them apart.

As Odysseus escaped the isle Polyphemus called out to his father to avenge him and so Poseidon’s anger at he became a full-out campaign of torment to see that he never saw the shores of Ithaca again as he sent him from one strange and dangerous uncharted island to another.

However, after the events with Cronus where he is captured by his father's in the Tartarus and is rescued by Odysseus, he consents to helps him and the gang to escape Tartarus but keep his grief against him.
