## History

### Season 1

At the beginning of Season 1, he and Zeus have a massive rivalry which is magnified by both of their feelings for Demeter, however by the end of the Pilot, they are both able to defeat the Nemean Lion.

Over the next few episodes, he and Zeus' rivalry grow. In the second episode The Bolt, Zeus gains the power of the Sky and Lightning fanning the flames of rivalry with Poseidon. In the third episode, Professor Kronos, Poseidon, and Zeus fight over the attention of Kronos, the new professor at the academy.

In the fourth episode, The Trident, Poseidon discovers and wields a trident that gives him the powers of the Sea, which (in his eyes) puts him on the same level as Zeus.

In the next episodes, he and Zeus begin to fight head to head. In The Underworld, he and Zeus are bickering constantly, much to the chagrin of Hades. The same thing happens in Cerberus, Bow & Arrow, & The Muses. In Thebes, he shares a moment with Demeter, which boosts his confidence, however, unbeknownst to him Demeter also shared a moment with Zeus

During the Primordials Arc, he and Zeus do not have much contact. In Kronos' World, he and Zeus are much more friendly as they both are focused on Demeter. In Betrayed, Poseidon and Zeus fight off Kronos along with the other Olympians.

In Crete, Poseidon goes to Crete, and Zeus stays back due to his grief over Kronos' betrayal. However, in the next episode Atlas, Poseidon finds Atlas who is holding up the sky and builds a contraption to hold up the sky in his place. He convinces Atlas to make a creation to cheer up Zeus. In the next episode Pegasus, Atlas and Poseidon present Zeus with Pegasus.

In the next episodes Aphrodite's Hideout, What's Your Problem?, Quicksilver, Student of War, and Cities of Greece. Zeus and Poseidon become close friends, ignoring their feelings for Demeter. In the final arc Defeating Kronos, Zeus and Poseidon begin working with each other to defeat Kronos. In the final episode Olympus Forever, he and Zeus takedown a big portion of Kronos' army. However, in the battle inside of Kronos' Realm, his first Trident is destroyed. Poseidon comforts Zeus with what he considers failure as Kronos got away

By the end of the episode, Triton and Amphitrite are now enrolled in MOA.

In the next episodes Flames of Tartarus, Chronus (Where they meet Chronos), Triton's Room, where we get a backstory on Triton and Amphitrite.

In the next episode Arcadia, the Olympians visit Arcadia a city that unbeknownst to them is occupied by Kronos' Army, they get captured and are taken to a prison on the outskirts of Arcadia. In the second episode of the Arcadia Arc, they start a prison riot, which doesn't work (because they are the only prisoners), so they just decide to break out and start a battle. And they eventually are able to escape from Arcadia

Once they return to Olympus, they discover a mysterious ship. Eventually, the five people come down from the ship, Jupiter, Neptune, Ceres, Pluto, and Juno. They come down seeking to capture them and bring them back to Rome. A battle ensues and the Romans are the victors they bring them back to Olympus. In the next episode Rome, City of Gold, Poseidon wakes up to in a cell and receives a visit from Neptune. Neptune (Poseidon's Roman Counterpart) berates Poseidon for being weak, Poseidon ignores him. Eventually, Mercury (Hermes' counterpart) takes the Olympians on a tour of Rome and accidentally reveals that Kronos killed his own counterpart, Saturn. Poseidon is then taken to a temporary residence in the Roman Palace at the center of the city. In The Adriatic the Roman Gods are transporting the Olympians to Kronos, when Zeus decides to fight and starts a battle on the ship, eventually, the Romans win again but Zeus gets to them and Jupiter decides to stand down. In the next two episodes, the Romans are at odds with the deal they made with Kronos, but eventually, Poseidon is able to reconcile with the Romans and they are set free.

Once they return to Olympus from Rome, the Olympians go to The Underworld again, over the next few episodes, the Olympians return to Delphi and visit Chronus again. At the start of the Crete Arc, the Olympians.......After Kronos is defeated he leaves behind a massive energy beam that can only be defeated by Hades, Zeus, and Poseidon, however for some reason Hades is missing so they have to utilize the help of Demeter. They are able to defeat close the energy beam but in the process create a brief gateway to the Underworld, in which Hades falls into (he was surrounded by some of Kronos' remaining forces).
