mainimg_main

Poseidon was the God of the Seas, the horses and the earthquakes.


The Roman name of Poseidon is "Neptune"

    Poseidon, the Greek god of the seas, was born by the major Titans Cronus and Rhea.

    Poseidon's symbols were the trident and the dolphin

    Imposing and strong with long, blue hair

    Poseidon was considered to be the bad-tempered, moody and greedy god among the Olympians. He possessed two palaces, the one was up in Mount Olympus and the other was located in the depths of the seas and was bejewelled with gold and precious gems. Usually Poseidon preferred to stay with his wife Amphitrite beneath the ocean.

    Poseidon was the Greek god responsible for natural and supernatural events, mainly the ones associated to the sea world. He possessed a trident which was so powerful that it could shake the earth. Poseidon could cause tempests and earthquakes, drown lands, shatter rocks and had the ability to finally bring back peacefulness.
