What makes it more ridiculous is that Poseidon healed Polyphemus almost instantly. Like, it wasn't that big a deal, dude.

[riyaswami]

Well, at least we know Poseidon cares about his son, unlike some other greek god...
Cough, cough Zeus.

[Titanusrex]

“Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves…”

[sigmarunberogen]

Odysseus: I hurt your son because he killed my men

Well he did get home and find 15 armed men in his home

[magnus]

Poseidon when Percy (Jackson) harmed Polyphemus
“Uhhhh…..I’ll just let this slide”

[randomericthings]

If only Poseidon was this wrathful when it came to Percy being in danger.

[alejoqc]

Well, he just wanted to become rich for the Best-Seller he was creating.

[Venny_Wenny]

Odysseus:Then I'm telling everyone about you and Pelops..

[catsandclassics]

**Ruthlessness from Epic the Musical starts playing**

[Yougotcaged]

He seems like a calm and reasonable person

Nyx: And this is why I don't bother with the other Gods Gaea!
Gaea: But you need to socialize more!
Nyx: Oh my stars, Gaea, I'm fine on my own I have my shadows to keep me company!
Uranus: Have you ever had a conversation with any of them?
Nyx: SHUT UP URANUS!!
Gaea: Nyx don't yell at your brother!
Nyx: Why do I have you as siblings!!?? *Stomps away*
Uranus: Sometimes I feel like she's still a teenager...

Insert the song Ruthlessness from Epic

[MariuigiKhed]

"He disrespected the laws of your brother"
"...huh, that... might change things."

[MIGBMWLOVER]

Don't forget that Poseidon was with the Trojans during the war so he kinda was looking forward to punish Odysseus for the Trojan horse.

[nickscaring]

I mean to be fair the man did start it by breaking into his home and eating his sheep so there’s not much good going for good old Oddesseus

[godzillakingofthemonsters]

"IT'S ODDESY TIME BABY!"

[jessilynallendilla]

Athena glaring at her uncle
Poseidon: ...It's the principle of the thing! I have a reputation to uphold!

[claytabulusshogun]

This is literally the "Poseidon we meant no harm, we only hurt him to disarm him" part of Ruthlessness lol

[lk]

Now I want a video game edit of super mario oddysee that plays out the myth...

[piffny]

I think I can *hear* Athena face palming in the background
