He is the son of Cronus and Rhea, and the brother of Zeus and Hades. Poseidon rules over the seas, earthquakes, and horses, symbolized by his trident, a powerful weapon.
Poseidon's story is filled with strength, passion, and control over nature. According to myth, he resides in a palace beneath the sea, using his trident to control the storms and earthquakes of the ocean. Poseidon often interacts with other gods and humans, showcasing his power and influence. Sometimes depicted as a temperamental deity, he can cause fierce storms and earthquakes when angered.
Let me share with you a fascinating tale from ancient Greek mythology about how the city of Athens got its name and its divine protector.
Long ago, in ancient Greece, the gods Poseidon and Athena competed to become the guardian of a newly founded city. To win the favor of its people, each god offered a unique gift. Poseidon struck his trident into the ground, creating a powerful spring of saltwater, symbolizing naval power and strength. Athena, in turn, planted an olive tree, representing peace, prosperity, and sustenance. The people, impressed by the olive tree's promise of long-term benefits, chose Athena as their protector. Thus, the city was named Athens, honoring the goddess of wisdom and war, who had given them the gift of enduring prosperity.
