In the myths

In Greek myth, Poseidon is a son of Cronus and Rhea and a brother of Zeus. When the brothers drew lots for the world, he won the sea, where he lives in a palace beneath the waves.

With his trident he stirs storms and shakes the earth, and in one telling he made the first horse. He lost the contest for Athens to Athena, and in the Odyssey his anger keeps Odysseus wandering for years.
