Greek Poseidon refers to the numerous gods in charge of the sea in Greek mythology. Plato once said that the Greeks were like frogs living by a pond because their cities were spread along the Mediterranean coast from mainland Greece to Asia Minor, Libya (Cyrenaica), Sicily, and Magna Graecia. Because of this geographical situation, ancient Greece developed a rich Poseidon system.

The range of Greek sea gods in the classical era not only ranged from primitive gods to Olympian gods, but also included rich mythological characters such as heroes, Chthonius, nymphs, and monsters. The most famous Greek god of the sea is Poseidon, whose weapon is the trident.

Extended information

Poseidon is the god of the sea in Greek mythology and the younger brother of Zeus, who controls the ocean. In terms of pure power, it is second only to the mighty Zeus. In addition to taming the huge ocean power, he also has a magic weapon-the trident.

The trident can not only be used as a weapon, but also used to break rocks. Clear spring water will flow out from the cracks in the broken rocks to irrigate the earth, allowing farmers to have a good harvest. So Poseidon is also called the harvest god. When Poseidon rides his chariot on the sea, the huge waves will become calm, and there will be many dolphins following him around.
