Athena punishes alot of people. For one, she punished Medusa for dating with Poseidon in her temple, which is VERY, EXTREMELY rude for a goddess. She couldn't punish her uncle( poseidon) so she punished Medusa, and Medusa's hair turned to snakes.
he punished him with slavery (not that sure but that is what i remeber.)
Poseidon tried to punish Odysseus by laying a curse on him, saying that he (Odysseus) would never set foot on Ithaca without divine intervention (help from the gods).
Athena did, when Medusa had desecrated her temple by making love to Poseidon there.
Odysseus didn't directly fight Poseidon, he fought the effects of the wrath of Poseidon. This was since Odysseus blinded the son of Poseidon, Polyphemus, and told him his name. Therefore, Polyphemus prayed to his father, asking him to punish Oeysseus.
He allows Poseidon to punish them for being good hosts
He stabbed Phoyphemos in the eye and Polyphemos was Poseidon's son so Poseidon told Zeus to punish Odysseus.
in return they punish them to learn
When Poseidon spots Odysseus in Ithaca, he becomes enraged at the Phaeacians for assisting his nemesis. He complains to Zeus, who allows him to punish the Phaeacians
Poseidon punished Ulysses because he blinded the Cyclops Polyphemus, who was Poseidon's son. Ulysses' act angered Poseidon, and as the god of the sea, he had the power to make Ulysses' journey home from the Trojan War much more challenging by causing storms and obstacles for him.
alot of people liked poseidon
Poseidon killed many that travel the seas
