Recognizing Poseidon In imagery: Poseidon holds a trident, a three-pronged spear that he uses to stir up the sea or cause earth quakes. He often rides a chariot that is drawn by horses (Iliad, 13.25) In works of art, Poseidon may be easily recognized by his connection to his trident, horses, dolphins, chariot. Mosaic of Poseidon on his chariot

Recognizing Poseidon In literature: In many scenes, he was depicted as an angry, violent God who causes disaster at sea. In The Odyssey, he sent a gigantic wave to shatter Odysseus’ raft (5.366). He despised Odysseus for blinding his one-eyed son Cyclops. Bulls are normally sacrificed for him. For example, in The Odyssey, the Phaeacians wanted Poseidon to stop threatening them by sacrificing twelve bulls (13.149-52). Sailors refer to him frequently and fear him, but Poseidon can also protect them so they want to stay on his good side. Referred to as the Earth Shaker, Rain-God, Cloud-Gatherer, and Neptune in Roman mythology http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Neptune_in_Florence_Piazza.jpg Statue of Poseidon, Florence, Italy

Bizarre Facts He had many lovers and loved seducing and raping women. Poseidon also tried to seduce Medusa and made love in the temple of Athena. The virgin goddess Athena, who was furious, turned Medusa into a hideous monster with snakes as hair. Most infamous Poseidon rape was with his sister, Demeter. She tried to escape Poseidon’s love by turning herself into a mare to hide inside a herd of horses. Poseidon transformed himself into a stallion and mounted her. He had a male lover named Pelops, who was a prince of Lydia and later Kind of Pisa in Elis.
