Poseidon • Greek Name: Poseidon • Latin Name: Neptune • Parentage: Kronos and Rhea • Sphere of Influence: Sea • Attributes: Earthquakes, dolphin, springs, bull, white pine, tidal waves, sea monsters • Birthplace: Crete • Favorite Place: Posidonia, now called Paestum in Italy
Images of Poseidon • This image is from 399 AD • I chose this picture of a statue because I think it shows his trident and his dark beard. Poseidon is known for this dark beard and his sturdy build. I think he is sitting on a stone looking out at the sea admiring it.
Modern Art of Poseidon • This modern picture of Poseidon shows him as a merman. He is controlling the water with his powers and he has his trident with him. I like this picture because it shows how powerful he is and how angry he looks.
