[1]
Greek
:
Ποσειδῶν
,
pronounced
[poseːdɔ̂ːn]
) was one of the
Twelve Olympians
in
ancient Greek religion
and
myth
, god of the sea, storms, earthquakes and horses.
[2]
In pre-Olympian
Bronze Age Greece
, he was venerated as a chief deity at
Pylos
and
Thebes
.
[2]
He had also the cult title "earth shaker". In the myths of isolated
Arcadia
he is related with
Demeter
and
Persephone
and he was venerated as a horse, however it seems that he was originally a god of the waters.
[3]
He is often regarded as the tamer or father of horses,
[2]
and with a strike of his trident, he created springs which are related with the word horse.
[4]
His Roman equivalent is
Neptune
.
Poseidon was protector of seafarers, and of many Hellenic cities and colonies.
Homer
and
Hesiod
suggest that Poseidon became lord of the sea following the defeat of his father
Cronus
, when the world was divided by lot among his three sons; Zeus was given the sky, Hades the underworld, and Poseidon the sea, with the Earth and Mount Olympus belonging to all three.
[2]
[5]
In
Homer
's
Iliad
, Poseidon supports the Greeks against the Trojans during the
Trojan War
and in the
Odyssey
, during the sea-voyage from Troy back home to
Ithaca
, the Greek hero
Odysseus
provokes Poseidon's fury by blinding his son, the
Cyclops
Polyphemus
, resulting in Poseidon punishing him with storms, the complete loss of his ship and companions, and a ten-year delay. Poseidon is also the subject of a
Homeric hymn
. In
Plato
's
Timaeus
and
Critias
, the legendary island of
Atlantis
was Poseidon's domain.
[6]
[7]
[8]
Athena became the patron goddess of the city of
Athens
after a competition with Poseidon, and he remained on the
Acropolis
in the form of his surrogate,
Erechtheus
. After the fight, Poseidon sent a monstrous flood to the Attic Plain, to punish the Athenians for not choosing him.
