Poseidon (Ποσειδῶν) is the Greek god of the sea, and of the earthquakes and horses the old Greeks also placed in his keeping. When the brothers Zeus, Poseidon and Hades divided the world, the sea became his portion. On Attic vases he stands as a dignified bearded man in chiton and himation, trident in hand, a dolphin beside him. Sailors prayed to him before setting out, and his marble temple at Cape Sounion still stands above the Aegean.
