The god I chose is Poseidon and I will explain his powers, accompleshments, and life in the pages listed below. Poseidon is a very important because he is one of the major three gods called the big 3. He is the brothers of the other two, Zues and Hades. Since the big 3 swore to never have kids they couldn’t marry humans, so Poseidon married a sea-nymph named Amphitrite. He was the god of the sea and horses and protected and ruled both of those things. There are many rivers with their own gods, poseidon was the god of all water in general. Other than the sea and horses he is also the god of earthquakes and can cause or stop them. When he was not on Mount Olympus he was in or near the water at pretty much all times. Other than being able to
Many things through today's world is connected or brought on because of greek mythology. Poseidon is one of the most powerful gods or goddesses in mythology. Although, Poseidon is a dominant Greek god many still don’t know his mythology. Poseidon is a great Greek god because of his family, his role in Greek mythology, and the myths he was in.
In Lord Dunsany’s work “Poseidon” the narrator is talking to the old Greek god, who is slowly fading away. when the narrator asks the god as to what he does, the god answers “‘nothing now,’ he said. ‘I have retired. I do nothing now.’ he sighed and said no more” (35). Poseidon the great god who “used to shake the earth”, as one of his duties, has nothing to do now, because the people have stopped sacrificing to them and thinks of humans as “indolent and neglectful”. He thinks that “it is their duty” to sacrifice the bulls so that he shakes the earth to “alarm men living miles inland”. He thinks of their loss of interest in sacrificing to the god as troubling. it shows that the Greek god is unemployed and does not wish to work unless given
“About Poseidon, a great god, I begin to sing, the shaker of the earth and of the barren sea” (Morford, Lenardon, and Sham, 171). Poseidon in Greek Mythology, or Neptune in Roman Mythology, is the God of the Earthquakes and of the Seas. He is known for his “severe and rough” nature and is associated with “the surge of the seas” (Morford, Lenardon, and Sham, 171). Poseidon is often underrepresented in myth but his role is pivotal due to the fact that he ruled the earth and the seas. Travel via the sea was essential in the spreading of culture during this time period and worship to Poseidon played an important role.
Many years ago, the world had no water. The land was dry and there was no water to drink. Poseidon always had dreams of a blue liquid, but he never knew what it was. The land became bad and would continue if someone didn’t help. His father, Cronus, told him every day that he would become a powerful god. Little did he know, pretty soon he would be the god of the sea with some help from a goddess.
Being the god of all water and natural and supernatural occurrences, keeping Poseidon happy was a main priority of especially sailors; and with the temperamental, greedy and unpredictable attributes Poseidon possessed, this was not often easy. With trivial matters taken personally, Poseidon was known for have being the main cause for ground breaking earthquakes, shipwrecks and city drowning’s; and it is because of this very reason, he has been involved in countless conflicts with others.
The sea is a vast mass that has great mysteries within its depths. Our society today is researching and exploring the sea to try and reveal those mysteries. The sea and its great depths leaves today’s society in confusion. The ancient greeks had many beliefs and answers to what the thought was in those great depths. Poseidon is a greek god that has a major importance to greek mythology, is represented by many objects, and has many interesting characteristics.
Poseidon, according to Greek mythology was the god of the sea, earthquakes, and horses. He also held his own appointed position among the great gods on Olympus. Although he was officially one of the supreme gods of Mount Olympus, he spent most of his time in his watery domain. He was master not only of the sea but also of the lakes and rivers. In a sense the earth belonged to him, since his waters sustained it and he could shake it at will. He was the son of the Titans Cronus and Rhea, and the brother of Zeus and Hades. Poseidon was the husband of Amphitrite, who was one of the Nereids. They had son who they named Triton. Poseidon also had numerous other love affairs especially with nymps of spring and fountains. He was the father of several

The god that I will be doing is Poseidon. Poseidon was the god of the sea, earthquakes, storms, and horses. He is known to be one of the worst tempered, and greedy olympian gods. Poseidon is the son of Cronus and Rhea. His father swallowed him along with Hades, Demeter, Hestia, and Hera. Poseidon and his brothers then found out how to defeat their father and put his pieces into a special box so that, that can’t happen again.
Poseidon or Neptune is the god of the water or aka seas and rivers, creator of storms and flood, also the cause of earthquakes and destruction. Poseidon is one of the three brothers, the two other brothers are Zeus or Jupiter the god of the sky and thunder. Then there is Hades or Pluto is the god of the underworld. Poseidon was probably the most disruptive of all the Greek gods to the mortals and also to Zeus' peaceful reign of Olympus. Poseidon is the son of the Titans Kronos and Rhea.

But in the war to decide who gets to control the universe (The Titans, Giants, and the Olympians) Poseidon was a major key factor to win that war. On the Olympian's

They each had a lyre to play for the judges. Poseidon went first and played beautiful hymn. Apollo went next and played so well that the judges gave him first place before he
Imagine this, where there is no villain...as there is all light and a sliver of darkness. The definition of villain: is an "evil" character in a story, whether a historical narrative or, especially, a work of fiction. One of the villain is Luke from Percy Jackson ,and his dad is Hermes. Although some people may believe that that Poseidon is the best villain but some other people might think that Luke is better.
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.
