Zeus punished Poseidon primarily for his involvement in the construction of the walls of Troy, which were built with divine assistance. When Poseidon and Apollo helped build these walls for King Laomedon, they were not adequately compensated, leading to Poseidon's anger. As a result, Zeus decided to punish Poseidon by sending a sea monster to terrorize Troy, demonstrating his authority and the consequences of defying him. This incident highlights the complex relationships and rivalries among the Olympian gods.
