The main problem with Greek gods is that they are not all powerful. They are also not very intelligent. It is a little like the super spy movies of the nineteen sixties where the evil Soviet spy put the good American or British agent into a device that was meant to kill him. True these devices were effective killers if they took three seconds perform their task, unfortunately for the evil Russian their device always allowed plenty of time for the good spy

to escape and foil the Russian's plans for world domination. In a way that is how the gods are. If Poseidon was so powerful and really wanted to kill Odysseus why didn't he just talk Zeus into frying Odysseus with a lightning bolt? Either Poseidon had no desire to kill Odysseus or he simply did not have the power to do that.

To put it very simply, Greek gods are powerless and are dim-witted. They will try to stop humans from doing what they want for a little while. Unfortunately for the gods with their minimal powers they do not have the power to stop a persistent human with a mind to do what they want. It is almost ridiculous how powerless these gods are. They cause a big wave or an earthquake and apparently that is supposed to have these classic Greek men quaking in their boots. Obviously the classic Greek man would give Zeus the ancient Greek version of "the finger" and then go on to succeed at whatever task they were doing prior to the gods getting involved. Odysseus would just cuss at Poseidon and make Poseidon look like a fool.
