Poseidon is the sea god in Greek mythology and one of the twelve gods of Olympus. At the same time, he is also the god in charge of horses. It is said that he gave man his first horse. His mount is a golden chariot driven by a white horse. He is the brother of Zeus and Hades.
When Poseidon is angry, there will be sea monsters in the sea. He waved a trident, which not only easily set off huge waves, but also triggered storms and tsunamis, sank the mainland and split the world. He can also smash everything into pieces and even cause a big earthquake. When he drives a chariot on the sea, the waves will become calm and dolphins will turn around him. Therefore, Greek sailors and fishermen near the Aegean Sea worshipped him greatly.
The origin of Poseidon's life
Poseidon was the son of Cronus and Rhea, the titans. Because Cronus was afraid that his children would overthrow him, every child was eaten by Cronus at birth. Only the youngest Zeus was replaced by a stone by Rhea and escaped.
Later, with the help of Zeus, Cronus vomited all the children in his belly. They are Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades and Poseidon. In the war against Cronus, Cyclops helped Zeus make lightning, Poseidon's trident and Hades' invisible helmet. Help them overthrow the rule of Cronus. After the three brothers decided to draw lots to allocate the ruling areas, Poseidon drew lots to manage the ocean and became the god who ruled the ocean.
