* ParentalNeglect: Its not shown how Poseidon is with his other children, but it is confimred by Demeter that he has never even met his horse son Arion- oh, and refuses to pay child support.

to:

* OnlySaneMan: Compared to his brothers, at least. Of his family, Poseidon is the only one to have a stable, if varied love life, a mostly stable home life and given that most of the story's problems are coming from the Mortal Realm, Olympus or the Underworld, his Realm is the only one that's completely stable.

* BadassAdorable: [[spoiler: After finding out Persephone and Hera have gone to Tartarus to deal with Kronos and Erebos, he tracks both goddesses there. By himself. He even brings wine to offer Tartarus.]]

*AdaptationalRelationshipOverhaul: [[spoiler: Ultimately, Hera divorces Zeus over his treatment of her and starts a relationship with Echo.]]



* AllTakeAndNoGive: Zeus and... everyone else. Zeus was raised spoiled and smothered. Becoming the god king because, mainly, his brother's didn't want it. Zeus' main talents lie in convincing other's do things for him- mainly his own work. But whenever anyone asks Zeus to return the favor he will deflect, gaslight, or just outright refuse.

* BornWinner mixed with BornLucky: Essentially what Zeus is. Looking at his life compared to the other five of the original six traitors. From the time of Titans alone, he escaped his father eating him, emerged completely unscarred from the Titanomachy, and was elected king with work horses like Demeter, Hera, and Hades doing the boring stuff under him, like ruling. Deconstructed too, because he's never had to struggle, meet a problem he had to handle on his own, and receiving constant praise and hope on his shoulders since he was born; Zeus had never had to grow up and he can't empathize with people that have. Zeus's own children are better at the 'boring' stuff than he is. On some level Zeus knows this but because he's never had to grow in any real way in the thousands of years of his life, the king of the gods quite literally can't become a better person.
