Actor Toby Stephens has taken on the role of Percy\u2019s father in the show, with episode 7<\/a> giving us a flashback to his and Sally Jackson\u2019s (Virginia Kull) relationship all those years ago.<\/p>\n The flashback showed Percy\u2019s mother telling Poseidon that she wanted to raise her son among humans rather than send him to Camp Halfblood.<\/p>\n Speaking to TV Line<\/a> about that scene, actor Stephens said: \u201cIt wasn\u2019t some mistake. It was a real connection between these two people. [They] were very much in love with each other, but there was an impossibility that they could be together. This son that they\u2019ve created is this connection between them.\u201d<\/p>\n Here\u2019s everything you need to know about Poseidon in Percy Jackson and the Olympians and actor Toby Stephens!<\/p> Poseidon is Percy\u2019s father and the Greek god of the sea, storms, earthquakes, droughts.<\/p>\n He broke an oath with Zeus and Hades by having Percy, a half-blood son, after falling in love with Sally. When Percy was young, Poseidon left and told Sally to send him to Camp Halfblood when he was old enough.<\/p>\n Episode 7 might be the first time we\u2019ve seen Poseidon in person, but his influence has been felt throughout the season.<\/p>\n When Zeus\u2019s Master Bolt disappears, the king of Olympus immediately suspects Posideon using Percy to steal it and demands it back by the summer solstice (a deadline Percy missed in the show<\/a>), threatening all-out war.<\/p>\n Understandably, Poseidon\u2019s not too happy and wants an apology from Zeus.<\/p>\n At the end of episode 2, Poseidon makes it clear he\u2019s claimed his son when Percy makes it through his first game of Capture The Flag.<\/p>\n British actor Toby Stephens is perhaps best known for playing James Bond villain Gustav Graves in the 2002 blockbuster Die Another Day.<\/p>\n The son of Dame Maggie Smith and Sir Robert Stephens, he started his career on stage before he starred in various films and TV series, including the\u00a0films The Machine, Hunter Killer, 13 Hours, and the Netflix series Lost in Space.<\/p>\n He\u2019s even taken on the role of a former Prime Minister, playing Tony Blair in 2016 film The Journey.<\/p>\n Percy Jackson and the Olympians is available to stream on Disney Plus.\u00a0<\/strong>Check out the rest of our<\/strong>\u00a0Sci-Fi<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and<\/strong>\u00a0Fantasy<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0coverage, or visit our<\/strong>\u00a0TV Guide<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and<\/strong>\u00a0Streaming Guide<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0to see what\u2019s on tonight.<\/strong><\/p>\n Try Radio Times magazine today and get 12 issues for only \u00a31 with delivery to your home \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0subscribe now<\/strong><\/a>.
