Poseidon often held a trident, which became his symbol. When he is angry, monsters will appear at the bottom of the sea. He can cause tsunamis and earthquakes by waving a trident, but the sacred animal dolphin, which symbolizes him, shows the tranquility of going to sea and Poseidon's cordial divinity. Greek sailors and fishermen near the Aegean Sea worshipped him very much.
Poseidon's trident is not only used as a weapon, but also used to break rocks. The clear spring flowing out of cracks irrigates the land and makes farmers harvest, so Poseidon is also known as the god of harvest. Poseidon also gave mankind the first horse. His chariot was pulled by a golden war horse. When his chariot gallops on the sea, the waves will become calm and the dolphins will follow.
Poseidon, with a wide range of divinity, strong aggression and great ambition, always wanted to seize the throne of Zeus, but Zeus found him and exiled him to the ground to be punished, helping King Laomeiton to establish Troy. In addition, he often fought with the gods, and there was a battle between him and Athena in Athens and Tromso.
Poseidon was ambitious and belligerent. He was dissatisfied with his power and plotted to oust Zeus from the throne. The plot failed and he was driven to serve a mortal. With the help of Apollo, he built the famous walls of Troy for King Laoxiton. Once he quarreled with Athena about the name of the new city Athens, and was finally forced to give in to the goddess of wisdom. On another occasion, he quarreled fiercely with Apollo because of the king of Corinth, and finally ended in victory.
Poseidon's love brought him strange children, and his wife Haixing gave birth to his half-man, half-fish son Trenton. Demeter didn't like Poseidon's attention to her, so he became a horse, and the shameless Poseidon became a horse and continued to pursue her. A good horse named Aryan is the crystallization of their love. This horse can talk. It must be the first carriage race in Greece. Poseidon also took away the beautiful girl Delphi, took her to an island, turned her into a sheep and turned herself into a ram. Then, the ram with golden hair appeared.
At first, three brothers Zeus drew lots to divide the sphere of influence, Zeus got the sky, Hades condescended to the ground, and Poseidon became the monarch of the oceans and lakes. Although the three brothers are divided into land, sea and air, their internal strength is not balanced. Zeus often talks wildly, trying to pull the earth and the sea together and hang them on Mount Olympus. Although Poseidon had to respect Zeus' position as the main god on the surface, he was not convinced. Greek gods love the world and their eyes, but they live in palaces under the sea every day, where seafood is born and rotten fish and shrimp are treated. In fact, he can only be regarded as the captaincy guarding the frontier. It was also Poseidon's anger that poured out like a raging sea. Both the earthquake and the tsunami are manifestations of his inner indignation.
Like the waves of the sea, Poseidon's character is unruly. He often drives a fine horse and a golden cart on the sea, but the sea makes a deafening roar. His standard weapon is a trident, which is not pleasant to say. It is an oversized harpoon. Of course, it can't catch up with Zeus' nuclear weapon-lightning.
Poseidon and Athena, the goddess of wisdom, have many pairs of protection rights to Athens in order to collect the protection fee of this rich city. At that time, Athens was equivalent to the central municipality of Mount Olympus. Poseidon is the big brother of this city, and Athena is the big sister. Poseidon is supposed to be a senior and Athena is a woman, so Athens should be where Poseidon can reach. But they bet that Poseidon would fail miserably. The content of the bet is to see who can give a gift to mankind. Poseidon hit the sea with a trident, and a fine horse jumped out of the sea. Athena inserted the spear into the ground, and an olive tree grew on the ground. The steed is the driving force and symbolizes the chariot, while the olive tree is a symbol of peace, which can extract oil and can be regarded as a poverty alleviation project in Greece with poor resources. Zeus presided over the decision of the Olympians, and Athena won by a majority.
Poseidon is as lewd as Zeus. His wife, An Fei Cui Te, was a beautiful fairy in Haihe River before becoming a queen. One day, she and her sisters danced on the island of Nagosos. Poseidon fell in love at first sight and swooped down like a big shark. The fairy was frightened and dived into the bottom of the sea. Poseidon immediately sent a dolphin to chase her. Dolphins are good at swimming, but Neptune is no match for them. Finally, when he was tired, he had to sit on the dolphin's back and become Poseidon's bride. Their monomer is Triton, the upper body is human nature, the lower body is fishtail, often covered with seaweed, and they are male mermaids. The prince in the sea inherited his father's lewd quality, married several sea fairies, and gave birth to children who played with conch. Sometimes when I am with my grandparents, I sing snail to clear the way.
Poseidon also had many sons and lovers from all walks of life, but his talent and upbringing were not as good as those of his brother Zeus. Poseidon's illegitimate children are mostly giants and rude heroes. A group of sons born to her and the goddess of nature, Thucys, were called Cook Lopez, among which Polyphemus, the cyclops, was particularly prominent, and was later blinded by Odysseus.
Poseidon and his mother Gaia (Poseidon's grandmother) gave birth to a son Aetna, namely Antaeus. Perhaps because of blood marriage, Antai is particularly Oedipus. Sleeping without a bed, lying directly in the arms of Mother Earth. The giant Antai is aggressive by nature, so everyone who passes through Libya must fight with him. However, when fighting, as long as he does not leave the earth, he can draw strength from Mother Earth. When he met Hercules, the heroic son of Zeus, he was knocked down three times without any harm. Hercules finally discovered the secret of his recovery. It was also he who held Antai in the air with strong arms and strangled him. People are used to using this story as a metaphor. People can't live without the earth, or heroes can't live without the people.
Poseidon was confused with Neptune in Roman mythology. Astronomers named Neptune after its Latin name. The Latin name of Zeus is Uranus.
