Although he was chiefly known as God of the sea & seafarers, his power extended to other domains, including earthquakes & horses/horsemanship. Worshipped across the entirety of the Greek world, Poseidon had particularly strong followings in seafaring city-states such as Athens & Corinth. Poseidon was as unruly as the seas he was thought to control. An instigator, a firebrand, & a rebel, Poseidon figured prominently in Greek mythology thanks to his resistance to Zeus' control over the pantheon. He was also well known for his disruptive influence over human affairs in Homer's the Iliad & the Odyssey. Stories of Poseidon provided the Greeks with some illusion of control over the one domain they could never fully master the sea. Along with his brothers & sisters Hestia, Demeter, Hades, Hera, & Zeus Poseidon was born of the union between Rhea & Cronus, Titans who ruled the universe before the rise of the Olympian pantheon. When Cronus discovered that one of his offspring was destined to overthrow him, he swallowed Poseidon & his other children. Eventually, mighty Zeus bested the Titan & forced him to regurgitate the children, including Poseidon. According to one variant, Rhea saved Poseidon from being swallowed by Cronus just as she had saved Zeus. When Poseidon was born, Rhea pretended that she had given birth to a colt, which she gave to Cronus to swallow. This myth reflects Poseidon's association with horses. Poseidon fought fiercely alongside Zeus & his other siblings in the cataclysmic conflict known as the Titanomachy. When they bested the Titans, Zeus, Hades, & Poseidon (being male & thus privileged to rule in Greek society) assumed control of the cosmos & divvied it up into various domains. The brothers drew lots, & Poseidon gained control of the seas, as well as all other waters. Poseidon Alabaster Sculpture Patina Aged - Greek God Of The Sea
