The Greeks and heroes of Greek mythology

 



Poseidón 
he is the god of the seas and, as "Agitator of the Earth", of earthquakes in Greek mythology. The name of the Etruscan sea god Nethuns was adopted in Latin for Neptune in Roman mythology, both of whom were sea gods analogous to Poseidon.




Poseidon was an important municipal god of several cities: in Athens, he was second in importance behind only Athena, while in Corinth and in many cities of Magna Graecia he was the chief god of the polis.
