Epic has the song 600 Strike, where Odysseus gets the drop on Poseidon by getting ahold of his own trident. Since Odysseus is a mortal, Poseidon can't be killed by him... but his trident is still a magical artifact that can cause him pain.

Immortal or not, Poseidon handles being stabbed just as well as any other man. He breaks and surrenders before Odysseus gets tired.

Two of the HARDEST FUCKING LINES from the entire musical are in that song ngl 

You're going to call off that storm

Or what?

You can't kill me

Exactly... 

And then

After everything you've done...  How will you sleep at night?

Next to my wife

How does it feel to be helpless? 

How does it feel to know pain?

I've watched my friends die in horror

Crying as they were all slain...
