Poseidon



﻿I am the great god Poseidon. One of the "Big Three'. Ruler of the sea and all water, not to mention the Earth. I am the brother to Zeus and Hades. Hades is ruler of the underworld and all dead souls. Zeus is of course the head god and god of the sky and heavens. Why does everyone make such a big deal about Zeus?? I don't think Zeus is all that great!! If I had my way I would be the main god not my little brother Zeus, and Athens would be named after me!!!!! You see a few eons a go, me and Athena had a competition! The bet was whoever gave the people of what is now Athens the best gift would have their city named after them. I gave the most wonderful gift! Do you know what that is? A gorgeous saltwater spring!! Do you know what Athena gave them? An olive tree! I give them a beautiful saltwater spring, and Athen﻿a gives them a stinking olive tree!!!!! Oh well, it's their loss. I wish I could tell you that's my only embarrassing story but I can't. One day Zeus was really getting on me and Apollo's nerves, so we made a plan to get rid of Zeus. Me and Apollo had the most wonderful plan. We were to kidnap Zeus and throw him in Tartarus. Alas, our plan failed us. Instead of Zeus leaving for good, and me taking my place as King of The Gods, Zeus found a way out of us kidnapping him. Somehow Zeus got out and me and Apollo were forced to build the wall of Troy!! How dare he sentence gods to punishment!! Oh well I'm over it. Did you know that all of the gods have two names? One in Roman and one in Greek. My Greek name is the one most call me by and the one your probably most familiar with. My Roman name is Neptune. I have a planet named after me! In case you didn't know My Realms are Earth and Sea, so I rule most of the world!!!! And Zeus is still king!!!!!!!!!

Here are some of my symbols! I hope you think of me next time you see one of these!!! Tridents Horse
