In addition to being the god of the sea, Once's Poseidon is also the father of Merrin Dungey's Ursula, a concept omitted from Disney's The Little Mermaid in 1989, though later included in the Broadway musical.
In the revamped version of the musical developed by Glenn Casale in 2012, Ursula and Triton's backstory was changed, making her the youngest of seven sisters like Ariel. Unlike Ariel, she was not a beautiful mermaid like her sisters and was despised and ignored by their father Poseidon while her sisters were adored.
Ursula was the younger sister of Triton, their parents were Poseidon ( in Greek mythology, Poseidon is Triton's father ) and Amphitrite ( possibly ). Ursula was born with great power and was a sea goddess of the highest rank.
Poseidon is the father of King Triton, and therefore the paternal grandfather of Ariel and her sisters. He is, presumably, the son of Triton's Grandpa Neptune.
Ursula's father, King Poseidon, hates pirates because one killed his wife and Ursula's mother. He makes Ursula use her singing voice to lure pirates to crash and die on rocks. She does not like doing this, and spares ships when she can.
The Messed Up Reason Ursula Was NOT Gifted The Trident From Poseidon...
Who is Emma's baby daddy in Once Upon a Time?
Henry is the biological son of Emma Swan and Neal Cassidy, half-brother of Hope Jones, the stepson of Killian Jones, the adopted son of Regina Mills, nephew of Neal Nolan and grandson of Rumplestiltskin, Prince Charming/David Nolan, and Snow White, husband of Ella Mills, and biological father of Lucy.
Since Ariel in The Little Mermaid is Triton's daughter, and according to Greek mythology, Triton is the son of Poseidon, this makes Ariel the granddaughter of Poseidon. And who else is on that family tree? None other than Hercules's father Zeus, who is the brother of Poseidon.
While it is known that her mother perished, there is no story attached to the event. However, much later, in 2008, an animated The Little Mermaid prequel revealed that Ariel's mother was crushed by a pirate ship during an altercation between humans and merpeople.
Rather, Ursula's appearance is radically different from her family, and she sports tentacles that look like a permanent black dress. It's possible Ursula is not a mermaid in appearance because she and Triton did not have the same mother or father. If they're half siblings, Ursula's tentacles make more sense.
Description. Meet Uma, fierce leader of the high seas, daughter of Ursula, the sea witch, and the newest villainess-in-training in Disney's Descendants 2!
Melissa McCarthy's version of Ursula is revealed to be King Triton's sister. The sea witch was banished and wanted power and revenge on her older brother, as well as his trident.
[The Little Mermaid] (1989): Ursula's pseudonym, Vanessa, was an intentional reference. "Vanessa" was a name made up by Jonathan Swift (that's not an important part) for a character based on a woman named Esther Vanhomrigh, "Van" from her surname and "Essa" being a then-common pet name form of Esther.
No, Ariel's father was Triton, and although he has the same name as Poseidon's son and is also a Merman like his namesake he is not related to Poseidon in any way.
Queen Athena is a minor character in Disney's 2008 animated feature film The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning. As ruler of Atlantica alongside her husband, King Triton, Athena is the mother of Ariel and her six older sisters.
Castor and Pollux (the Dioscuri) are figures from Greek and Roman mythology considered the twin sons of Zeus or Jupiter. Semi-divine figures, the twins were credited with the role of saving those in trouble at sea or in grave danger in war. They were particularly associated with horses and sports.
I was just randomly thinking about how Ariel is the daughter of Triton and then I realized that Triton is the son of Poseidon so therefore, Ariel is the granddaughter of Poseidon. So basically, Percy is Ariel's uncle.
Thalia is the daughter of Zeus and the Lieutenant of the Hunt. Thalia and Artemis are sisters due to the oath. Thalia is also the half-sister to any child of Zeus; Athena, Ares, Artemis, Apollo, Hebe, Hephaestus, Dionysus, Hermes, Aphrodite, Persephone etc. Thalia, Percy, Bianca, and Nico are cousins.
So, y'all, Poseidon and Zeus are brothers, and Percy is Poseidon's son and Athena is Zeus' daughter, which makes Annabeth Percy's first cousin, once removed.
