Poseidon’s Non-Forbidden Children Would Be Elderly In Percy Jackson’s Timeline
The Pact Of The Big Three Goes Back To The 1940s
Part of the reasonPercy Jackson & the Olympiansdoesn’t reference other offspring of Poseidon is becauseall the god ’s non - forbidden children would be elderly in the Disney show ’s timeline . The Pact of the Big Three conk out back to the end of World War II , with Zeus , Poseidon , and Aidoneus agree that their demigod kid were becoming too powerful in the 1940s . However , something else happened to engender their understanding : the Oracle of Delphipredicted a nipper of the Big Three would either save or destroy Olympus . Fearing the latter , the troika decided not to have any more demigod children — though two of the three gods broke this vow .
This Great Prophecy has n’t been referenced in Disney’sPercy Jacksonshow just yet , but it ’s likely to hail up as it continues . The late books dig into it a bit , especially as other forbid children emerge . But as the Big Three limit their procreation after puddle their pact , Percy does n’t have a cabin full of brothers and sis at Camp Half - line of descent . The majority of Poseidon ’s other offspring were born before the 1940s , meaningthey’d be much older than Percy , whose story takes place in the 2000s .

Poseidon’s Mortal & Immortal Children In Greek Mythology Explained
The Sea God Has Many Children In Greek Mythology
Thanks to the Pact of the Big Three , Poseidon ’s children are comfortable to keep track of duringPercy Jackson ’s timeline . However , the Olympian god has far more offspring in Hellenic mythology , some of whom exist in Riordan ’s world , though they ’re either immortal or born long before Percy . Many of Poseidon ’s nipper in Grecian mythology are mortals , just like in Riordan ’s playscript . Some of Poseidon ’s most well - known deadly offspring admit Theseus , Neleus , Atlas , and Agenor ( viaTheoi Greek Mythology ) . The ocean god also has kid with nymphs and goliath , which is likely where the stirring for Tyson ’s case comes from .
Per Greek mythos , Poseidon also has immortal nestling who run as less God . Some of these exist in thePercy Jacksonuniverse even if they do n’t play large roles in Riordan ’s story , let in the fishtailed Triton ( viaFandom.com ) . Other immortal nipper from Greek mythology include Aeolus , Asopus , and Telchines . In some myth , Athena is also the girl of Poseidon , though others dub Zeus her father . Athena does n’t seem to be Poseidon ’s child inPercy Jackson & the Olympians , which clearly take its own glide path to the Olympian gods and their materialization .
