THE GOD OF THE SEA
You think the
ocean is always beautiful? Sometimes it can be very rude…
Poseidon is
one of the sons of Cronos and Rea, Zeus and Hades are his brothers and also
he’s known as ‘’the god of the sea’’ in in the Greek mythology.
When Poseidon
born, Cronos heard that one of his sons was going to dethrone him, so he
started eating all his sons but Rea didn’t want Cronos to do that, so Rea hide
Poseidon in a group of lambs and she gave Cronos a lamb instead of Poseidon to
end with his hunger. But there are more versions of this story that says that
Poseidon was ate by Cronos and then Zeus arrive to save him taking him out from
Cronos, making him ‘’The god of the sea’’.
He made his
own palace under the sea full of corals and colored stones. He was accompanied
by gods like Ponto, the Titans and Tetis. He used to like to take rides through
the ocean in his carriage pulled by his horses. He wasn’t very peaceful
sometimes he was very rude.
He had a
confrontation with Athenea, goddess of the war, because both want the control
of the city of Atenas. For having the agree of the citizens Poseidon place a waterhole
but the water was salty. Then Athenea made grew up a big and indestructible
olive tree that was the present that the citizens prefer the most, and Zeus had
to let Athenea be the winner, which caused the fury of the god of the sea, with
the risk of having tsunamis.
Poseidon was
a very interesting god in the Greek mythology, that’s why I decided to research
of him and now that I research, I know more of this god and I see that is more
interesting now, than when I was only thinking to research him.
Of this god I
learn things like when he was in fury he can make tsunamis and affect other
people so I learn that my bad acts can affect others.
