Poseidon

God of the Sea, Water, Oceanstorms, Floods, Droughts, and Horses

**Poseidon**, also known as the "**Earth-Shaker**", is both a fictional character and tritagonist of the *Tales of 12 Legends* series created by David Jaffe and Scott Phillips. He is the Olympian God of the Seas, Oceans, and Water.

He is the second son of the Titan King, Cronus, but was consumed out of Cronus' fear of a prophecy that a god would rise and overthrow him one day (whether by one of his children or a god from a far from Olympus).

Poseidon was saved by his brother, and they waged a rebellious war against the Titans to set themselves up as gods on Olympus. After the war, he ascended to become the king and ruler of Atlantis after the downfall of Oceanus.

And for his war participation, Poseidon is also rewarded with the ruling control over the oceans and sea, though his most notable role is the protector of all waters.

Over the centuries, he has had a strong influence in the mortal world, as sailors relied upon him for safe passage. Considered the most ill-tempered of the Olympian Gods, Poseidon is also known to be vengeful when insulted.

He is also a hot-blooded deity and has had many disputes with both gods and men, most famously with Athena and Odysseus.

Sea, no matter how you put it, is always beneath the sky, so in the end, Poseidon was beneath the shadow of Zeus who got the highest position and he's not that happy about it. Despite this, he still gathered his own set of worshipers while quenching his rage.

One and ruler of the Oceans, worshipped by the Ancient Greeks and Atlanteans. The brother of Zeus and Hades, Poseidon is also the God of earthquakes, storms, and horses, though his most notable role is the protector of all waters.

His chance for glory would come when he encountered one of mankind's wondrous cities...but someone else had been vying for the worshipers from that town: Zeus' daughter Athena.

Poseidon then proposed a contest: both gods would offer a gift for these would-be worshipers so they could select their sponsors. Offering his trident, Poseidon made a limitless spring, but the water was from the sea and thus salty and undrinkable.

Athena on the other hand made an olive tree that counted multiple gifts as one: food, wood, oil. Thus, the city was named Athens and glory eluded Poseidon again.

"*My one wish is that I had more time to learn from you. In time, I may have learned to be more human.*"

—Poseidon.
