| Poseidon is a god of many names. He is most famous as the god of the sea. The son of Cronus and Rhea, Poseidon is one of six siblings. The greeks thought of poseidon as a god of violent, unpredictable movement. He is most often the god of the ocean, which is of course the biggest, most unpredictable and most dangerous thing around. Many greeks spent alot of time sailing on the ocean, and they paid a lot of attention to Poseidon. But poseidon is also the god of earthquakes, and earthquakes are also very common in greece. He stamps his foot or he hits the earth with his trident (like a pitchfork) to make an earthquake. And maybe for some reason poseidon is the horse-god because there big and unpredictable. Poseidon was brother to Zeus and Hades. These three gods divided up creation. Zeus was ruler of the sky. Hades had the underworld and poseidon was given all water. There are not very many stories involving Poseidon. |
