The Rise Of Poseidon

Poseidon is the brother of the Gods Zeus and Hades. Poseidon’s weapon is a trident. He is second to Zeus. Poseidon is also called Neptune. Poseidon is married to Amphitrite. He also has a son and two daughters. Poseidon tried to stop Odysseus from getting back to Ithaca because Odysseus blinded his son the cyclops Polyphemus. Poseidon is a patron of the Phaeacians, who ultimately helped Odysseus return to Ithaca. Poseidon trapped Odysseus and his men after the Trojan war when they were going back to Ithaca in a lee with big storms and high winds. Eventually Odysseus did get free and returned to Ithaca. (Graves

Poseidon is hit and goes down, so he thought. Out of nowhere the floor under Zeus crumbles into a blackhole of water under him. Poseidon from above him starts to smirk. Hades is missing the attention, he throws his mighty trident at his brother. Poseidon moves as swiftly and quickly as the wind but the trident was faster, and cuts his cheek. Poseidon, fures and hurt, he charges at Hades with his mighty trident.

Poseidon sometimes rode over the waves on a chariot pulled by horses, he was accompanied may mermen who blew high pitched blasts on con shells to warn people to keep away/keep out of the way. Poseidon also lost a battle with his brother Zeus for control over the sky, after the battle Poseidon moved to a golden palace somewhere under the Aegean Sea. Some sailors even sacrificed themselves to Poseidon. Sometimes Poseidon also provided springs of water to people.

Poseidon is a Greek god who was the god or ruler of the sea, horses, and earthquakes. The two Titans named Cronus and his sister Rhea where Poseidon's parents. The symbol of Poseidon and his favorite weapon was the mighty trident. Poseidon gained the power to rule the sea by drawing lots with Zeus and Hades after they defeated the Titans in order to rule Mount Olympus. Triton was one of three son's of Poseidon but his most famous ones of the three were Theseus and Bellerophon.

Poseidon has a very interesting history. There are a lot of different things about him. He has a weird history. Cool different appearances. A really big family. And many different celebrations. These are the things about him.

In The Odyssey The Great Odysseus encounters the god Poseidon, and the goddess Athena that impact his life in negative and positive aspects, but none of these impacts could have been done without the decision of Odysseus himself. Mortals venerate these gods and goddesses; from a young age they’re taught to respect them or bad karma may come their way. As a human nature we make absurd mistakes without consent and analysis, Odysseus’s greatest mistake was his ignorant decision on attacking Poseidon’s son, “Hear me Poseidon...if I really am your son, and you claim to be my father grant that odysseus, raider of cities, Laertes son who makes his home in Ithaca never reaches home” ( Homer 228) Poseidon receives this message from his son, and his wrath gives misfortune on

The next god is Poseidon. Poseidon is the god of the sea, earthquakes, and horses. He was most known for his three pointed trident. He is one of the three most powerful gods along with Zeus and Hades. Poseidon rules over the ocean and all bodies of water. The greek sailors and greek

Throughout the Odyssey, the struggles of Odysseus are revealed to the reader through the well written epic. His journey is very difficult and he is haunted with the loss of his entire crew and seemingly impossible task of getting home to his family. While journeying homewards, Odysseus makes the mistake of harming the Cyclops, who happens to be Poseidon's son. Poseidon is so angry at Odysseus for the harm he inflicted on the Cyclops, that through the influence of all powerful Zeus, he punishes Odysseus along with his other children, the Phaeacians, who can be seen to parallel as well as contrast with the Cyclops.

Although some people may believe Poseidon is a villain, it is clear he is not because of vengeful, powers, and smart. To begin, Poseidon is vengeful. According to the text, “ Poseidon is possess, god of the sea, stared angrily down at him, brandishing his great trident”(Lister 6). Some people believe that shows Poseidon is as villain however, he has powers for sea in the Odyssey . Additionally,Poseidon is powerful. According to the text, Poseidon is god of sea and make earthquakes(Lister). Some people believe that shows Poseidon is as villain however, he can not get killed at all. Accompanying that, Poseidon is smart. According to the text, Poseidon attacking people on his grounds, sea/ocean(Lister). Some people believe that shows Poseidon is as villain however, he does not fight on land.

Poseidon is the ancient Greek god who resembles the power of the untamed, the brutal, and the wild. After the defeat of the Titans, Poseidon drew straws with his brothers and got the middle straw. Therefore, he became the lord of the Sea, earthquakes, and horses. The Romans knew Poseidon as Neptune. He is also associated with clouds, which was essential to agriculture. Poseidon could create springs, floods, and even tidal waves when angered. Besides the sea, Poseidon is also connected with the earth. It is believed that his anger is

An ancient description of attributes for the trident that I have not found in anything current is that it represents all that is known of science, philosophy/religions, and history. Tools such as these would make it possible to conceive of an enabled god named Poseidon dominating and controlling by wielding these powers over the three principalities (heaven, earth, and hell). In addition the “trident” is akin to the symbolism of the shepherd's crook. The shepherd uses the hook/crook to save fallen animals/humans or to ensnare them. If the crook was used to ensnare then this could play out as the ability to withhold or

One story that shows the competition between Poseidon and the other gods and goddesses is when he and Athena tried to persuade the citizens of Athens to make one of them their patron god (Gall 48). Poseidon’s gift was that of a spring that bubbled from the ground. The people were amazed at this site. Unfortunately for Poseidon, the water was as salty as the sea and it could not be drunk. Athena’s gift was that of an olive tree (Gall 48). The citizens loved this gift and chose her to be their patron and in her honor, named their city Athens (Cavendish (2074).

Greek mythology has always been a very fascinating subject to talk about. The belief that gods and goddesses once ruled the Earth is an interesting idea. To think that the land and sea were once looked upon by one of the strongest and fiercest gods that ever lived. Poseidon or Neptune was known to be one of the strongest gods that ever walked on the planet. Poseidon is best known for protecting and watching over the ocean.

Poseidon was the Greek god of the sea, earthquakes and horses (Felson, “Poseidon”). In E. M. Berens’ book, he states that, “In the earliest times of Greek Mythology, Poseidon only symbolized the water element” (154). Although he was the God of the sea, he mostly controlled the Mediterranean Sea as he watched over fishermen (Berens 153, 157). Poseidon was the son of Kronos and Rhea being brothers with Zeus and Hades (Berens 152). After defeating their father, the three brothers drew for domains and Poseidon received the sea as his domain (Felson, “Poseidon”). He was the absolute ruler of the ocean and all that lived within the ocean but he still was not above Zeus (Berens 161). The Romans worshipped the god, Neptune and just gave him the attributes of the Greek god Poseidon (Berens 161). Neptune was originally a god of water but not of the sea like Poseidon was. Not until Neptune became associated with Poseidon that his dominion was extended to more than just water (Stapleton 144). After this, Roman commanders would only take a naval expedition after a proper sacrifice to Neptune was made (Berens
