Poseidon was one of the twelve Olympians, god of the sea, earthquakes, storms, and horses.

Poseidon was protector of seafarers and of many cities, but was also known to be bad-tempered, moody, and vengeful when insulted. He could create springs with a strike of his trident. His Roman equivalent is Neptune.
