** Tropers/{{The_Taming_Interpreter}}: I believe that I have an explanation, for Poseidon at least. According to a leak after the third installment of the story, there is a claim that Poseidon only started using a Trident as his weapon as a means to symbolize his patron city, Atlantis, due to the popularity of the weapon in addition to bows. Poseidon is even claimed to have been quoted saying, “I would use my hands if I could.”Why is this significant? It is because as said in the old legends and myths, Poseidon was gifted with a trident as his relic of power from the cyclops’ out of gratitude for the ladders being freed from Tartarus. So in the case of his battle with Kratos, we can speculate that the trident that he was using in his large elemental form wasn’t his ACTUAL trident ( it’s also been stated that the trident that Kratos claims during the Challenge Of Poseidon also wasn’t the real thing despite it’s name). Keep in mind that Hades at least had his own relic (Helm Of Darkness) when he battled Kratos, while Zeus lost the Blade Of Olympus to Kratos when the ladder defeated him after killing the Sisters Of Fate. So perhaps if Poseidon had his real trident for the battle, he would have perhaps posed a larger threat to Kratos. Not only that, but Poseidon was even infected with the evils of Pandora’s Box as well, and as mentioned in his letter to his Princess, it is also likely that he wasn’t exactly himself by the time he and his nephew were duking it out. Hope that this helps!
