Poseidon

Poseidon (also associated with the Roman god Neptune), is the god of the seas in Greek Mythology. He was said to control the storms and winds at sea, as well as earthquakes, which he was said to cause by using his trident.

Attributes
Poseidon was known to be a jealous god, known to spite mortals if they, in turn spited him. The most well-known example is that of Odysseus, who Poseidon forced to sail aimlessly towards his home for years in an act of revenge for Odysseus claiming he did not require the aid of Poseidon to win during the Trojan War.

Family
Poseidon is brother of Zeus, Hades, Hera, and Hestia. His wife is Amphitrite, the granddaughter of the Titan Ocean. Among his children are Proteus, Triton, and any number of Nymphs.

He is the Son of Kronus and Rhea.

Symbols
Poseidon is associated with the open seas, underground rivers, horses (the first of which he was said to have given to man), the trident, and sometimes with bulls.
