Poseid n Neptuno

1. Poseid�n (Neptuno) 1. Etimolog�a, atribuciones y representaci�n. Etimolog�a: La m�s probable es la de "esposo de Da" (Posis+Da), siendo Da un nombre antiguo, probablemente prehel�nico, de la diosa de la Tierra (cf. Dem�ter). Atribuciones: En su origen es una divinidad ct�nica, relacionada con la tierra, de donde sus ep�tetos, que se conservan en Homero, por ejemplo, de "sacudidor de la tierra", o "abrazador de la tierra", causa de los terremotos. Esta atribuci�n no es muy importante en la mitolog�a cl�sica. Relacionado asimismo con este car�cter ct�nico est�n los ep�tetos de Hippios ("el de los caballos") y Ta�reios (�el de los toros�). Su car�cter de dios del mar es posterior: de hecho, los aqueos vinieron por tierra, y no pod�an traer un dios marino; cuando se hicieron al mar, su dios se hizo marino. Representaci�n: figura alta y majestuosa, algo parecida a la de Zeus en su aspecto general, pero se distingue de �l por el tridente, y por su apariencia algo m�s salvaje y tosca. De hecho, se le representa casi siempre enfurecido, frente a Nereo, divinidad marina tranquila y apacible. Posid�n es el que produce terribles tempestades en el mar y destroza las rocas de las costas con los golpes de su tridente. De hecho, el mes de Posid�n en el calendario �tico era el mes de las tempestades invernales.
