Poseidon is the sea god in ancient Greek mythology. Greek sailors and fishermen near the Aegean Sea worshipped him very much, and Neptune's Latin name also originated from him. In addition, Poseidon is also the god in charge of horses. It is said that he gave mankind the first horse, and his mount was a golden chariot driven by a white horse.
People say that when Poseidon is angry, there will be sea monsters in the sea. When he wields a trident, he can not only easily set off huge waves, but also trigger storms and tsunamis, which will sink the mainland, split heaven and earth, shatter everything and even trigger a major earthquake. When his chariot is driving on the sea, the waves will become calm and the dolphins will follow. Poseidon often held a trident, which became his symbol.
Poseidon's life experience
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.
