Poseidon's Behavior

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.

What is a villain? Is it a boulder of hate in a sea of kindness, or a person whose heart and world are filled with darkness? A villain is a person who wants to hurt others or do bad things. The god of the sea, Poseidon from the Odyssey, by Homer and President Snow from the Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins could both be considered villains. President Snow is a greater villain because of his cruelty, selfishness, and him being uncooperative.

Poseidon was the god of the seas. He was worshiped by seamen but also very feared for his power over the water. Poseidon was thought to be the second strongest god after Zeus.

First, Poseidon is the god of the sea, so he works well with water, and “he has a splendid palace beneath the sea.” (Hamilton 23) What I am saying is that if he get’s mad or something like that then he can just go to his palace so he will not hurt the animals if he is mad. When he is

It was a regular day in the Sea where Poseidon takes down furious enemies like no other. He is very very far from Mount Olympus, but he doesn't care. There's is also the island of Crete and a dark ominous island about 150 miles away from Mount Olympus. Poseidon is very strong and sometimes very angry in some situations.

Odysseus, the man who spoke against Poseidon. We all know him as the vain person who didn’t heed Poseidon’s warnings, but there is another side to him. The origins of the Odyssey are unclear, but it is one of the oldest stories ever developed on the face of the earth. Originally only spoken, the Odyssey was written by Homer and then translated by many to it’s common day forum. And although it was written to show how one should not go against the gods, Odysseus actually has some pretty great traits such as being a cunning leader, always staying determined, and caring about others.

And Poseidon was already unquestionably set on getting revenge on Odysseus, but now he had a new fire in his heart. Athena already had plead to gods in council to assure Odysseus’s life. (Homer 153) And saved him when he shipwrecked, per Poseidon’s storm, to Nausicaa’s home (Homer 166). If Athena had not saved Odysseus from the storm, he would’ve died a broken

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.

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.

However, after years of generations of ruling Atlantis’s rulers started to create tension with their fellow countries. “They conquered parts of North Africa and Europe, they were on their way to attack Egypt and Athens.” Shortly after the Athenians conquered parts of North Africa and Europe, all hell struck in the city of Atlantis. “It was protected by the god Poseidon, who made his son Atlas king and namesake of the island and the ocean that surrounded it. As the Atlanteans grew powerful, their ethics declined.”

There was a time when Poseidon wanted to find a mate or his future wife. Feeling a mixed emotion of bitterness, sadness and anger set out on a journey to come across Amphitrite. Captured and attracted to her beauty, he immediately fell in love and asked her to marry him, but of course she denied. She left to a nearby mountain wanting to stay a virgin; however Poseidon didn’t cease to chase her. He sent a messenger to send a message to her that he would not become angered and make the oceans move ferociously if she accepts his proposal. Therefore, they married and had three children named Rhode, Benthesicyme, and Triton.

Poseidon was in a hurry to get to earth because he knew his plan would take a long time. He was the first to leave Olympus and the first to get to earth. His plan was to use his powers to pull the water out of the ground, and do this until he filled all the lakes and oceans in the world. Poseidon began to walk around the earth until he came across an enormous forest. He started walking through it, hoping there would be an empty lake or ocean on the other side. He finally got through the forest, and saw a large hole that he assumed was a lake that had dried up. Poseidon stood in the middle of the hole and started to pull water out of the ground, in an attempt to fill

In ancient times around 800 B.C. a civilization arose that would become a great power called Greece. Poseidon was important to these people because the myth of Poseidon explained all the things that happened to the Greeks at sea so they could attain a greater knowledge of everything else and now have a form of religion which would cause a spark of order and unity. Poseidon also stood as one of the most powerful major gods. He is connected to our lives today through popular culture and literacy. Poseidon also stands as an example of power that could represent law enforcement or our military/homeland security.

Thousands of years ago, the ancient Greek civilization had a god for everything that they could have thought of. One such god was Poseidon. Poseidon was the god of the sea and horses (Gil). Symbols that represented Poseidon included the trident and dolphin(Gil). He became one of the most well known of the gods because of his fierce temper and his adulterous ways. Poseidon was also part of many battles, such as the Trojan Wars. (Poseidon: Greek) He also caused many hardships for Odysseus as he returned home from the war.(Gall 49). Poseidon was a lustful (Gall 48) being who showed signs of violence and was also known to hold fierce grudges against those who wronged him (Poseidon).

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.
