![]() They didn’t even initially belong to the same culture. These similarities, along with a few key details in mythology, show that Zeus and Poseidon were probably not originally thought of as brothers. This could be due to the conventions of portraying gods, but other Olympians have far more varied personalities. In both legends and art the brothers were very similar. In fact, some myths seem to even show Poseidon as a more king-like figure. In some myths Zeus uses his authority as king to command his brother, but in others they seem to be of similar importance. Zeus became their king and took the sky, while his brother Poseidon was given dominion over the sea. When the Titans were defeated the gods of Olympus split power between themselves.
