Poseidon
People believe and say that
the sea is of everyone but guess what, in the past Poseidon was the God of the
sea, earth-quakes and horses. Was officially one of the most important Gods of
the Olimpus and the brother of Zeus and Hades.
There were various rivers
personified as Gods, these would have been technically under Poseidon sway.
Poseidon has married Nereu´s
daughter. Romans called Poseidon Neptune.
The God demostrated his
power by striking the Acropolis with his three-ponged spear, wich caused spring
of salt water to emerge.
Poseidon was the father of
hero Theseus. Poseidon was not so well-disposed towards another famous hero.
Minos has proved his divine
right to rule crete by calling on Poseidon to send a bull from the sea. So
Poseidon asked Aphrodite to make Minos´s wife, Pasiphae, fall in love with the
bull. The result was a monstreous Minotaur, half – bull, half – man.
Poseidon often adopted the
shape of a steed. It is not certain if he was in that form when he wooed
Medusa. But when Medusa was killed from her neck, orn a winged horse, Pegasus.
I choose this character because,
he was the God of the sea and the brother or two great Gods, also he controled
the sea and the horses. His history is very interesting and in my opinion he is
the best God of the Olimpus.
