All the myths about Poseidon

Poseidon is the son of Cronus and Rhea, the brother of Zeus, and one of the twelve gods in Greek mythology. After the war with Titan, Poseidon became a great and majestic sea king, in charge of all the waters around the mainland. He ruled his kingdom with a chilling earthquake. He has the skill of summoning the wind, and he can lift or calm the raging sea. Holding a trident, he drove a car with bronze hooves and golden horses across the waves. Although he has a place on Mount Olympus, most of the time he lives in his dazzling golden palace in the depths of the ocean.

Poseidon often held a trident, which became his symbol. When he is angry, monsters will appear at the bottom of the sea. He can cause tsunamis and earthquakes by waving a trident, but the sacred animal dolphin, which symbolizes him, shows the tranquility of going to sea and Poseidon's cordial divinity. Greek sailors and fishermen near the Aegean Sea worshipped him very much.

Poseidon's trident is not only used as a weapon, but also used to break rocks. The clear spring flowing out of cracks irrigates the land and makes farmers harvest, so Poseidon is also known as the god of harvest. Poseidon also gave mankind the first horse. His chariot was pulled by a golden war horse. When his chariot gallops on the sea, the waves will become calm and the dolphins will follow.

His Roman name is Neptune, Neptune among the eight planets. After defeating his father Klaus with Zeus, he carved up the world together. He is in charge of the ocean, rules the waters with a trident, has supreme authority on the water, and is a swinger of the earth. He can summon or calm the storm and easily crush any ship. Poseidon once competed with Athena for Athens, but was finally defeated by Athena. In a rage, Athens was once flooded. In the battle for Athens, he turned out the first horse, so he was also the patron saint of horses. Poseidon, in the myth, has a wide range of divinity, strong aggression and great ambition. He always wants to seize the throne of Zeus, but Zeus finds him and banishes him to the ground to be punished, helping Troy, Wang Jianli, the country of Laomeidun. In addition, he often fought with the gods, and there was a battle between him and Athena in Athens and Tromso.

Poseidon was ambitious and belligerent. He was dissatisfied with his power and plotted to oust Zeus from the throne. The plot failed and he was driven to serve a mortal. With the help of Apollo, he built the famous walls of Troy for King Laoxiton. Once he quarreled with Athena about the name of the new city Athens, and was finally forced to give in to the goddess of wisdom. On another occasion, he quarreled fiercely with Apollo because of the king of Corinth, and finally ended in victory.

The Ethiopian Queen often boasted in front of people that she and her daughter (Andlau Moda) were the most beautiful women in the world, and even Poseidon's daughter Nereid was not as good as them, which angered Poseidon. The king and queen had to dedicate their daughter to Poseidon, but fortunately, they were saved by the hero Poerxiusi. Later, Poseidon was moved by them and lifted the king and queen to the sky to become constellations.

Poseidon's love brought him strange children, and his wife Haixing gave birth to his half-man, half-fish son Trenton. Demeter didn't like Poseidon's attention to her, so he became a horse, and the shameless Poseidon became a horse and continued to pursue her. A good horse named Aryan is the crystallization of their love. This horse can talk. It must be the first carriage race in Greece. Poseidon also took away the beautiful girl Delphi, took her to an island, turned her into a sheep and turned herself into a ram. Then, the ram with golden hair appeared.

At first, three brothers Zeus drew lots to divide the sphere of influence, Zeus got the sky, Hades condescended to the ground, and Poseidon became the monarch of the oceans and lakes. Although the three brothers are divided into land, sea and air, their internal strength is not balanced. Zeus often talks wildly, trying to pull the earth and the sea together and hang them on Mount Olympus. Although Poseidon had to respect Zeus' position as the main god on the surface, he was not convinced. Greek gods love the world and their eyes, but they live in palaces under the sea every day, where seafood is born and rotten fish and shrimp are treated. In fact, he can only be regarded as the captaincy guarding the frontier. It was also Poseidon's anger that poured out like a raging sea. Both the earthquake and the tsunami are manifestations of his inner indignation.

Like the waves of the sea, Poseidon's character is unruly. He often drives a fine horse and a golden cart on the sea, but the sea makes a deafening roar. His standard weapon is a trident, which is not pleasant to say. It is an oversized harpoon. Of course, it can't catch up with Zeus' nuclear weapon-lightning.

Poseidon is as lewd as Zeus. His wife, Hai Houxing, was a beautiful fairy in the Haihe River before she became a queen. One day, she and her sisters danced on the island of Nagosos. Poseidon fell in love at first sight and swooped down like a big shark. The fairy was frightened and dived into the bottom of the sea. Poseidon immediately sent a dolphin to chase her. Dolphin is a good swimmer, but the portrait of Neptune is no match for it. When he was finally tired, he had to sit on the back of a dolphin and become Poseidon's bride. Their monomer is called Triton, the upper body is human nature, the lower body is fish tail, and their bodies are covered with seaweed, so they are male mermaids. The prince in the sea inherited his father's lewd quality, married several sea fairies, and gave birth to children who played with conch. Sometimes when I am with my grandparents, I sing snail to clear the way.

Poseidon also had many sons and lovers from all walks of life, but his talent and upbringing were not as good as those of his brother Zeus. Poseidon's illegitimate children are mostly giants and rude heroes. A group of sons born to her and the goddess of nature, Thucys, were called Cook Lopez, among which Polyphemus, the cyclops, was particularly prominent, and was later blinded by Odysseus.

Poseidon and his mother Gaia (Poseidon's grandmother) gave birth to a son Aetna, namely Antaeus. Perhaps because of blood marriage, Antai is particularly Oedipus. Sleeping without a bed, lying directly in the arms of Mother Earth. Antai, a giant, is aggressive by nature, so anyone who passes through Libya must fight him. However, when fighting, as long as he does not leave the earth, he can draw strength from Mother Earth. When he met Hercules, the heroic son of Zeus, he was knocked down three times without any harm. Hercules finally discovered the secret of his recovery. It was also he who held Antai in the air with strong arms and strangled him. People are used to using this story as a metaphor. People can't live without the earth, or heroes can't live without the people.

Poseidon was confused with Neptune in Roman mythology. Astronomers named Neptune after its Roman name. Zeus's Roman name is Jupiter.

Tears of Mermaid, the legendary mermaid princess, Poseidon's youngest daughter, sighed for her sad love with the prince, and the tears she shed solidified into translucent amber. ...

Atlantis According to Plato's account, about 12000 years ago, there was a highly developed ancient civilization in the Atlantic Ocean west of the Strait of Gibraltar today. Plato said it was "bigger than Bilibija and Asia combined". According to the viewpoint of his time, the area of Libya plus Asia is about 654.38+million square kilometers today. Plato said that Atlantis was rich in mineral resources, especially copper, which was highly valued by the ancient Greeks. It is this rich land that gave birth to a highly developed civilized society. Plato said that when Zeus, the king of gods, and his brothers Poseidon and Hades overthrew their father Cronus's rule in heaven, they drew lots to divide the world. Zeus won the earth and the sky, Hades won the underworld, Poseidon won the ocean and Atlantis. Thus, Poseidon became the patron saint of Atlantis. Atlanteans established the capital of their empire in the middle of the mainland and named the city after the great patron saint Poseidon. This magnificent city is built with red, yellow and black stones, and the important buildings in the city are decorated with brass and silver. Temple of poseidon is richly decorated with gold and ivory. The city is divided into five districts with five concentric circles, and the capital is connected with the whole island through a canal system extending in all directions. There is a huge brass pillar in the center of the island, engraved with Poseidon's sacred laws for residents. This powerful empire has been ruled by ten emperors, and no one can compete with it at that time. They sent a powerful fleet to conquer the Mediterranean countries and were invincible. Only when they marched into Athens did they fail under the attack of Athens' powerful heavy infantry. At this time, the residents of the island became more and more proud, corrupt and degenerate because of their rich life. They even abandoned their patron saint and worshipped various pagan gods.
