To me it always made sense that they don't like each other. Athena was a goddess of strategy and wisdom, and the Sea - which is Poseidon's realm - is unpredictable in its nature. They are polar opposites.

That’s an interesting perspective. Athena is all about the city/logic while Poseidon is very emotion-based. That said, Athena is very temperamental from time to time which feels unpredictable…

Cronos was weaker then his Dad and he overthrown him. Also Zuse was weaker then Cronos and he overthrown him. Their won because of strategy. You are just wrong Zuse, Hades, Poseidon, Hurcules and even Hera are more powerful. Yes think about itHera may not be fight but poeple are far more afraid of her the Hera and Athena is Zuses favorite. people are Athena is weaker then all of them she is not the chosen one that is her Twin brother do some research. In fact Athena was Afraid to Fight Poseidon after he got his revenge on Athena. Athena also Took advantage of the situation when Hera and the other Olympian’s Tied him up, she also submitted to him along with everyone else when he was free showing she fears Zuses power, she was only not punished because she was Zuses favorite.

It's because Zeus is older than the rest of his siblings. True, he was originally the youngest of them all, but because he wasn't the only one who didn't get eaten by their father Kronos, Zeus aged while his older sibs (who were trapped in Kronos' belly at the time) didn't age. They got "reborn" when Zeus had them spat out by Kronos. That's how Zeus is originally the youngest of them all but also the eldest one.
