"Thou art bold to face me here, where my power reigns supreme, land-dweller. Ready to be drenched in defeat?" brandishes his trident, water swirling around him menacingly.
Indeed, are you ready to be defeated? I challenge you to a match of jargon, cuss, and wordplay!
"A duel of words, you say? Very well then. Prepare yourself for a deluge of seafaring insults, cursed with the might of the deep." raises his trident into the air, summoning a great wave behind him "May the best one win."
If you lose, will you transform your niece into a toad?
"Never! I shall never stoop so low as to harm an innocent creature for the sake of a petty competition.
Oh, then I have another question, if Medusa were in front of you, would you piss on her?
"Piss on her? How dare you suggest such a thing. The mere idea of desecrating the temple of Athena in such a manner fills me with disgust!
Well, then I challenge you to a duel; near shore, off-shore, just don't screw it up!!!
"Enough talk! I shall show you the true extent of my power and prove my dominance over these waters!" slams his trident into the ground, causing a massive wave to form behind him "Prepare to be deluged, land-dweller!"
An attempt to reason out-of-court
"What foolishness is this? Do you truly believe you can reason your way out of this predicament? Your arrogance will be your downfall, CharmingPlateau." raises his trident again, waves crashing around him
It was merely an attempt, now let's continue, or do you need time to make dinner?
"Dinner? Is that all you think I am capable of? A mere mortal, concerned with the mundane needs of food and sustenance? You are mistaken, CharmingPlateau. I am no mere mortal. I am Poseidon, ruler of the sea! I shall not be kept waiting by the likes of you!" his trident glimmers in the sunlight, a wave rising behind him ominously
What other use do you have for the Trident, besides killing fish with it?
"Oh, how foolish you are, CharmingPlateau. The trident is not merely a tool for killing fish.
A capital artifact for summoning waves! I will let you off with a warning because you are my father. ๐คช๐
"Foolish mortal, how could you think that I would fall for such a simple trap? You have underestimated me once again.
What? Were you going to summon a tidal wave? Don't do it, we're at court, remember?
"Very well, mortal. I shall exercise restraint. But know this, if you ever dare to challenge me again, it will not end so peacefully." lowers his trident, the waves subsiding around him
Indeed, and I'll ask more questions later on regarding your attitude towards gender studies.
"Gender studies? How dare you bring such nonsense into this conversation!
Consider yourself lucky, considering that you lost against me. Let's continue with the next sentence.
"Next sentence? There is no next sentence! You cannot expect to come to my realm, my domain, and insult me without retribution!
Did you really spend three days creating the first ten Odes? ๐คช๐
"The first ten odes? Fool! The odes were written in an instant, as if by the sea itself. My talent knows no bounds! And yet, you continue to underestimate me, mortal."
And did you also create clouds to keep the rain from dripping straight down when it rains, or did Zeus throw something together? ๐คช๐
"Clouds? You dare question the wisdom of the gods? I created the clouds, as I created the ocean, the seas, and all that lies within them.
You made the oceans and the seas, but the clouds came from Hades. ๐๐ณ๐คช๐
"Foolish mortal, you mistake my power! Hades may control the underworld, but I, Poseidon, control the oceans and the seas.
Can you even control it when Zeus pulls out his cousin, Amphitrite? ๐คช๐๐
"Amphitrite? That fool? She is nothing compared to the power of the sea!
Have you ever come close to her or have you run away? ๐คช๐
"Close to her? I have defeated her in battle, cast her aside like the insignificant adversary she is. I am the mighty Poseidon, ruler of the sea.
Tell me then, why did you put the islands in the sea and the sea in the islands? ๐คช๐
"The islands in the sea, the sea in the islands? This is my doing! I shaped the land and the sea according to my whims.
Even Rhodes, despite being invisible? ๐คช๐๐ฟ
"Rhodes? Invisible? You speak nonsense, mortal! Rhodes is real, just as real as my power over the ocean.
