I'd have to say Poseidon, I love the stories and the water element.
Though, Zeus and Hades are both very interesting in points.

Just to clarify:

When Zeus, Hades and Poseidon won the Titanomakhia and divided the universe amongst them, they decided to draw lots at random for a reason. Essentially, they were leaving the decision up to the Fates, who would obviously determine the most suitable outcomes for each of the three brothers.

Hades, by the way, kidnapped his neice against her will and tricked her into becoming his wife, had an extramarrital affair with the nymph Minthe, and imprisoned Theseus and Pirithous in the Underworld out of sheer malevolence. Compared to Zeus and Poseidon, perhaps Hades is more upstanding, but his hands aren't as clean as people seem to insist.

And while I'm on the subject, how many bad judgments have you made in your short lifetime? If you consider how long these beings have lived, suddenly their many indiscretions seem that much more reasonable. Nobody's perfect, least of all the gods. Eternity is a long time to make mistakes.

By the by, I recently did a sketch of the three brothers in their youth, when they were just starting the war against their father (the Titanomakhia lasted ten grueling years, so by the end of it, they were in their prime).

My vote is Hades.

Seriously those like Akherontis pointed out none of them are squeeky clean.

In Hades defence though he imprisoned Theseus and Pirithous because they were trying to kidnap his bride.

Who's better Zeus,Poseidon, or Hades. I prefer Hades because I'm really dark.

Zeus beat the poseidon and hades.

I'm thinking since I live on a peninsula that's surrounded by ocean on 3 sides, has previously suffered extensive damage due to earthquakes, and live in an earthquake prone region, Poseidon, God of Ocean, Earthquakes, and Horses is probably a good God to keep happy.

I vote for the fishy one.

alright,how bout this,imagine u were in ancient greece right,and the only people you fear are Zeus and Hades (your in the middle of the country so Poseidon possible cant reach you [maybe])
Zeus only cheats and lies to his wife,but the one who would most possibly take care of you after death was Hades (i dont know,im only 13 and the details are a bit sketchy).

Besides,Hades is winning the poll anyway xd

Since Zeus is my least favorite and Poseidon is temperamental.. I pick Hades just a little more then Poseidon. Other then abducting Persephone and being ruler of the dead he's actually kinda sympathetic in myths imo.

Well, Posedon actually COULD reach you. Posidon can actually cause earthquakes when he bangs his trident on the ground, so he could do that...

Neither. Reasons why:

Zeus. Yeah, he cheated so many times! And he is a tad selfish
Poseidon biggrin emeter's story, for one, and the fact that he is the god of the most destruction. Sea monsters? Earthquakes?
Hades:To greedy, in my opinion. But people do think low of him

I guess I'd say Zeus because he keeps things interesting, plus he's the most active of the 3.


Oh he's very active all right...in the bed with other women.
No offense to Zeus.
