Poseidon's Tragic Hero

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 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.

Sitting high atop Mount Olympus, the gods and goddesses of Greece were engaged in a heated battle of words. Poseidon swore that Zeus had taken his triton, but Zeus held to his opinion that Poseidon was in possession of his lightning bolt. "If YOU don't return my lightning bolt I'll wage war with you, puny sea god!"

“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.

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.

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.

Poseidon says, “We have a lot of work to do so let’s get started on the project, codenamed: hockey.” Just then he sees a black streak, but he decides that it was just his imagination.

Many years ago, there was a clash between Zeus and Poseidon. Poseidon felt jealous of his brother, for Poseidon always tried to provide calm waters for the fishermen of a tiny village, allowing them to feed their families. However, the fishermen praised Zeus for providing calm winds to be able to sail by, enabling them to catch fish. In their ignorance, they didn’t see Poseidon’s hard work filling their nets with fish and calm waters and neglected him and his temples. All along, however, the temples to Zeus would fill with worshippers, and feasts were held in his Zeus’s honor, while Poseidon’s temples continued to fall into disrepair.Many

“Let’s not get too personal Poseidon. He had no choice. Your son was trying to eat him and his crew.” Athena corrected Poseidon.

When Poseidon was born Cronus swallowed all of his kids but Zeus . Then Zeus did a spell on Cronus and made them all come out of his body and then he is now the god of the sea.

Did you ever wonder what the Greek gods played in Kronos’s stomach? Hydra go seek! What does Poseidon use to freshen his breath? Trident layers! What did Poseidon say to the sea nymph to express his love for her? “I’ll love you whether you are Nereid or Farid.” What does Poseidon use to wash his clothes? Tide! All jokes aside, in the Ancient world, the Greeks invented many outlandish and depraved myths about false gods and goddesses to explain natural occurrences in creation. As far as Greek gods are concerned, Poseidon, god of the sea, is the most fascinating because of his (A) unnatural beginnings, (B) awesome powers, (C) gracious wife and fascinating children.

Poseidon is the god of the sea. He sometimes seems to have inferiority complex against Zeus, brother of Poseidon. Poseidon wakes his wrath to disturb Odysseus going back to his home. This is because Odysseus makes the Cyclops Polyphemus, son of Poseidon, blind, and Poseidon was the patron of Troy which was defeated by Greek army in which Odysseus was a leader. In addition, Athena is not only the patron of Odysseus, but also the rival to Poseidon for the patron of Athens, so Athena won that position. These are able to be reasons of the wrath of Poseidon.

Once he was so jealous of Jupiter’s (Zeus’s) powers and high authority that he tried to chain Jupiter but ultimately failed and Jupiter put him back to his place (Royal Mint Publishing, LLC, 2015). Romans, who weren’t sea faring, were scared of Neptune because of earthquakes and (The Goddess Path, 2006). But unlike Neptune, Poseidon was not jealous of his brothers; just of Zeus (Royal Mint Publishing, LLC, 2015). He did not want to rule the underworld (The Goddess Path, 2006). He also did not want the responsibility of being king of the gods or in charge of the world.

In the early twentieth century, writers like Franz Kafka and Lord Dunsany humorously reconsiders the place of the long-lost Greek god, in their works “Poseidon”, as the show how his life works. The great god, in these stories, portrays an image of an old and helpless man that is of no use to the human in his current state. Poseidon expects something in return, for using his powers, that are meant to be used for the benefit of human race. He does not think or use his powers for what they are meant for instead thinks of his duties as charity on humans. It is also shown in the stories that the long-lost god is also unable to trust anyone, thus he does not even have the time to see his own kingdom. Even the gods in medieval times did what
