Greek god Poseidon
Poseidon is the god of the sea, and is one of six siblings who divided the power of the world. The other divinities attributed to Poseidon involve the god of earthquakes and the god of horses. The symbols associated with Poseidon are dolphins and tridents. Poseidon was relied upon by sailors for a safe voyage on the sea. Poseidon was a very moody divinity, and his temperament could sometimes result in violence. When he was in a good mood, Poseidon created new lands in the water and a calm sea. In contrast, when he was in a bad mood, Poseidon would strike the ground with a trident and cause unruly springs and earthquakes, ship wrecks, and drownings. Poseidon often used his powers of earthquakes, water, and horses to inflict fear and punishment on people as revenge. Though he could be difficult and assert his powers over the gods and mortals, Poseidon could be cooperative and it was he who helped the Greeks during the Trojan War.
