## Personality

Poseidon is overall a benevolent god, even though he shares many characteristics with his brother Zeus, including pride, stubbornness & a fearsome temper. However, he has matured over the centuries to a point where these attributes do not dominate Poseidon, making him much more reasonable.

However, when Poseidon is feeling type of negative feelings, he can be *extremely* dramatic, much like Zeus. When unable to woo Amphitrite the first time, Poseidon pointlessly wandered about his palace, bellowing "louder than a humpback whale," giving many whales & giant squids terrible migraines. When Queen Cassiopeia claimed to be more beautiful than any of the fifty beautiful Nereids he admire, Poseidon summoned a gigantic & bloodthirsty serpent to terrorize her kingdom. Another infamous example of his vengeful rage is when Minos refused to appease the sea god by sacrificing the a white bull that the god had previously sent him. In response, Poseidon had Aphrodite force Minos' wife to fall madly in love & mate with the white bull, which resulted in the birth of the Minotaur.

Poseidon also has a very particular sense of humor, sometimes making it hard to tell if he is joking or not. He also has a habit of toying with his younger brother. When Zeus has to begrudgingly thank his brother for his help, Poseidon would interrupt with phrases like "I'm sorry brother. What was that?"
