Poseidon A Greek god.

Poseidon's early life Poseidon is the son of Cronus and Rhea and was swallowed by his father along with Hades, Demeter, Hestia and Hera. However, in some believed that Poseidon, like Zeus, was not swallowed by Cronus because his mother Rhea who concealed him among a flock of lambs and pretended to have given birth to a colt, which was devoured by Cronus instead.

Power of Poseidon Poseidon was god of the sea, earthquakes, storms, and horses and is considered one of the most bad-tempered, angry and greedy Olympian gods. He was known to be unforgiving when insulted like when he blinded the Cyclops Polyphemus because his father Odysseus insulted him.

Facts about Poseidon Poseidon was most notably the God of the sea and the protector of all waters; sailors relied on him for safe passageway. Poseidon distributed his dominion after the fall of the Titans. Because of his power of the waters, he was worshipped in connection with navigation. Poseidon was worshipped as a fertility god. His name is Greek for “husband.” Poseidon could strike the ground with his trident to cause an earthquake. This earned him the nickname “Earth-shaker.” Poseidon had a palace, made of gems and coral, on the ocean floor. He was at Mount Olympus more often than his palace. Poseidon’s mood was dependent on completely by nature: his temperature meant he was unstable, and his emotional fluctuations often resulted in violence.
