However, of more influential and recognizable status are the brothers known as the Great three: Zeus, god of the sky, Poseidon, god of the sea, and Hades, god of the underworld.

The three brothers Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon are all equally matched in power, with strengths beyond any other god. They are all wise and cunning leaders. The brothers ruled vast domains more than any others. Zeus with the entire skies, Poseidon with the vast sea, and Hades with the whole underworld. All gods have their own domains but some are unhappy with what they have.

Cronus was the chief god, but his children overthrew him. Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon then divided up the rule of the world by drawing lots. Zeus won control of the heavens and became the chief god, while Hades became the god of the underworld. Rule of the sea fell to Poseidon. Poseidon would calm or guide the waves for people he favored, protecting them and speeding their way during voyages at sea.

He created the horse for Demeter. So

Together the Gods went to war against Cronus and the Titans for ten years, and Cronus was defeated. Having beaten the old gods, Zeus made himself supreme god of the Olympians and most powerful god.

One day while tending Poseidon’s hippocampi, the cyclops were approached by Aphrodite. She instructed them to give Poseidon the nectar and then tell him to seek her immediately, and they did, for they could not resist the soft voice and beauty of Aphrodite. Once given the nectar and instructions, Poseidon created a tsunami and rode it to Mount Olympus. Once Poseidon arrived he was immediately met by the vengeful goddess. Aphrodite whispered in Poseidon’s ear, “Take Eelos’ beauty and make it mine, for if you do, I will be yours.” The nectar coursing through him, making him very suggestive, Poseidon went away immediately and did as told. He dipped his trident in the blood of the slain serpent Python, then in the sea. Poseidon found Eelos and took him by wrist and led him down to the sea, where he stabbed Eelos with the laced trident.

Three brothers had to decide which to rule. Some believe that they drew straws to decide others believe that it was by choice.
