Poseidon QUOTES

1 " He kissed me wildly, overwhelming me like a giant wave rushing to shore. I was soon lost in the turbulent grasp of his embrace and yet…I knew I was safe. His wild kiss drove me, pushed me, asked me questions I was unwilling to consider. But I was cherished by this dark Poseidon, and though he had the power to crush me utterly, to drown me in the purple depths of his wake, he held me aloft, separate. His passionate kiss changed. It gentled and soothed and entreated. Together we drifted towards a safe harbor. The god of the sea set me down securely on a sandy beach and steadied me as I trembled. Effervescent tingles shot through my limbs delighting me with surges of sparkling sensation like sandy toes tickled by bubbly waves. Finally, the waves moved away and I felt my Poseidon watching me from a distance. We looked at each other knowing we were forever changed by the experience. We both knew that I would always belong to the sea and that I would never be able to part from it and be whole again. "

2 " My mother made a squeaking sound that might of been either " yes" or " help" .Poseidon took it as a yes and came in.Paul was looking back and forth between us, trying to read our expressions.Finally he stepped forward." Hi, I'm Paul Blofis." Poseidon raised an eyebrow and then shook his hand." Blowfish, did you say?" " Ah, no. Blofis, actually." " Oh, I see," Poseidon said. " A shame. I quite like blowfish. I am Poseidon." " Poseidon? That's an interesting name." " Yes, I like it. I've gone by other names, but I do prefer Poseidon." " Like the god of the sea." " Very much like that, yes" " Well!" My mother interrupted. " Um, were so glad you could drop by. Paul, this is Percy's father." " Ah." Paul nodded, though he didn't look real pleased. " I see." Poseidon smiled at me. " There you are, my boy. And Tyson, hello, son!" " Daddy!" Tyson [shouted]...Paul's jaw dropped. He stared at my mother. " Tyson is..." " Not mine," she promised. " It's a long story. "

3 " After the satyrs filed in to dinner, the Hermes cabin brought up the rear. They were always the biggest cabin. Last summer it had been led by Luke, the guy who fought with Thalia and Annabeth on top of Half-Blood Hill. For a while, before Poseidon had claimed me, I'd lodged in the Hermes cabin. Luke had befriended me...and then he'd tried to kill me. "

4 " My whore of a brother has done it again." " Then, as always, orders me to clean up the mess." " I think I hate him." Poseidon to his brother, Zeus. "

5 " Otis barreled towards them empty-handed, before apparently realizing that a) he was empty-handed and b) charging towards a large body of water to fight a son of Poseidon was maybe not a good idea. "

6 " The constellation she's named after tells the story of a princess, who was shackled to a rock as a sacrifice to a sea monster--punishment for her mother Casseopeia, who had bragged to Poseidon about her own beauty. Perseus, flying by, fell in love with Andromeda and saved her. In the sky, she's pictured with her arms outstretched and her hands chained. "

7 " Remind me again-why do you hate me so much?" I don't hate you." Could've fooled me." She folded her cap of invisibility. " Look...we're just not supposed to get along, okay? Our parents are rivals." Why?" She sighed. " How many reasons do you want? One time my mom caught Poseidon with his girlfriend in Athena's temple, which is hugely disrespectful. Another time, Athena and Poseidon competed to be the patron god for the city of Athens. Your dad created some stupid saltwater spring for his gift. My mom created the olive tree. The people saw that her gift was better, so they named the city after her." They must really like olives." Oh, forge "

8 " As for my brothers," Zeus said, " we are thankful" -he cleared his throat like the words were hard to get out-" erm, thankful for the aid of Hades." The lord of the dead nodded. He had a smug look on his face, but I figure he'd earned the right. He patted his son Nico on the shoulders, and Nico looked happier than I'd ever seen him." And, of course," Zeus continued, though he looked like his pants were smoldering, " we must...um...thank Poseidon." " I'm sorry, brother," Poseidon said. " What was that?" " We must thank Poseidon," Zeus growled. " Without whom . . . it would've been difficult-" " Difficult?" Poseidon asked innocently." Impossible," Zeus said. " Impossible to defeat Typhon. "

9 " You speak horse?" Hazel asked." Speaking to horses is a Poseidon thing," Percy said. " Uh, I mean a Neptune thing." " Then you and Arion should get along fine," Hazel said. " He's a son of Neptune too." Percy turned pale. " Excuse me? "

10 " I couldn’t miss Percy’s fifteenth birthday,” Poseidon said. “Why, if this were Sparta, Percy would be a man today!”" That’s true,” Paul said. “I used to teach ancient history.”Poseidon’s eyes twinkled. “That’s me. Ancient history. "

11 " Thalia had been turned into a pine tree when she was 12. Me... well, i was doing my best not to follow her example. I had nightmares about what Poseidon might turn me into if i were ever in the verge of death—plankton, maybe. Or a floating patch of kelp. "

12 " Your uncle," Poseidon sighed, " has always had a flair for dramatic exits. I think he would've done well as the god of theater. "

13 " If there were ever any half-bloods who needed to worry about that, it
was Thalia and me. I wondered if maybe I should've sent Poseidon that seashell pattern tie
for Father's Day after all.

14 " Fish gathered to look at us - a school of baracudas, some curious marines. SCRAM! I told them. They swam off, but I could tell they went reluctantly. I swear I understood their intencions. They were about to star rumors flighing around the sea about the son of poseidon and some girl at the bottom of Siren Bay. "

15 " Wait just a minute," Ares growled. He pointed at Thalia and me. " These two are dangerous. It'd be much safer, while we've got them here—" " Ares," Poseidon interrupted, " they are worthy heroes. We will not blast my son to bits." " Nor my daughter," Zeus grumbled. " She has done well. "

16 " Poseidon raised his eyebrows as they shook hands. “Blowfish, did you say?”" Ah, no. Blofis, actually.”" Oh, I see,” Poseidon said. “A shame. I quite like blowfish. I am Poseidon.”" Poseidon? That’s an interesting name.”" Yes, I like it. I’ve gone by other names, but I do prefer Poseidon.”" Like the god of the sea.”" Very much like that, yes. "

17 " Could an Olympian parent turn against his half-blood child? Would it sometimes be easier just to let them die? If there were ever any half-bloods who needed to worry about that, it was Thalia and me. I wondered if maybe I should've sent Poseidon that seashell pattern tie for Father's Day after all. "

18 " I tried to imagine how things could get much worse. The gods were in the Midwest fighting a huge monster that had almost defeated them once before. Poseidon was under siege and losing a war against the sea Titan Oceanus.
Kronos was still out there somewhere. Olympus was virtually undefended. The demigods of Camp Half-Blood were on our own with a spy in our midst.
Oh, and according to the ancient prophecy, I was going to die when I turned sixteen—which happened to be in five days, the exact same time Typhon was supposed to hit New York. Almost forgot that. "

19 " There was Tyson moving into the Poseidon cabin, giggling to himself every fifteen seconds and saying, " Percy is my brother?" like he'd just won the lottery.Aw, Tyson," I'd say. " It's not that simple. "

20 " Poseidon grinned. " You're doing well with those new cabins, by the way. I suppose this means I can claim all those other sons and daughters of mine and send you some siblings next summer." " Ha-ha." Poseidon reeled in his empty line.I shifted my feet. " Um, you were kidding, right?" Poseidon gave me one of his inside-joke winks, and I still didn't know whether he was serious or not. "
