Description
Poseidon is a supporting character in the 1986 anime Arion. He is one of the three titan brothers, together with Zeus and Hades, and he belongs to the circle of powerful divine rulers whose struggle for control shapes the world of the story. As the god of the sea, he holds a domain of his own, but his ambition reaches beyond it. Poseidon seeks to overthrow Zeus, the ruler of Mount Olympus, and claim supremacy for himself, which places him in direct opposition to his brother and makes him one of the central rivals in the conflict among the gods.
His most significant relationship in the story is with the protagonist, Arion, who is his son. Arion is born from an illicit union between Poseidon and the goddess Demeter, and this parentage ties the hero's origins directly to the sea god, even though Arion grows up without knowing the full truth about his lineage. Poseidon's role in the narrative is therefore that of a divine father figure whose existence is woven into the hero's background and destiny, while his own appearances keep him on the supporting side of the tale rather than at its center.
In personality, Poseidon is portrayed as an ambitious and formidable deity. His desire for power is described as knowing no bounds, and his rivalry with Zeus defines his position within the divine family. His relationship with Hades is that of a fellow brother sharing the same turbulent inheritance of rule, while his connection to Demeter is marked by the circumstances of Arion's birth. The story places little emphasis on personal development for Poseidon; he functions mainly as one of the great powers that the protagonist must face as the conflict escalates, and he is counted among the warlords of the divine realm against whom Arion eventually leads his campaign.
Notable abilities associated with Poseidon stem from his nature as the god of the sea, giving him authority over the waters and a place among the three brothers who divided dominion over the world. He is depicted as a male deity with black hair, and his standing as one of the ruling gods underscores his capacity to influence the fate of both gods and mortals in the story.
