Poseidon


 
 
 
 
Poseidon was the brother of Zeus and the god of the Sea. He had many loves and many children.  His symbols include the trident and the dolphin and the horse.  His famous son Theseus killed the minotaur, abandoned Isis-Ariadne, and went on an adventure like Heracles.  It is said that Poseidon was hid on the island of Rhodes as a child just as Zeus was hidden on Crete to avoid their murder by Cronus.
