([[WP:TW|TW]]) [[Image:Poseidon sculpture Copenhagen 2005.jpg|thumb|right|220px|Neptune in [[Copenhagen]], [[Denmark]].]] {{this|the Greek god}} In [[Greek mythology]], '''Poseidon''' ([[Greek language|Greek]]: '''{{Polytonic|Ποσειδῶν}}'''; [[Latin language|Latin]]: '''[[Neptune (mythology)|Neptūnus]]''') was the god of the [[sea]], as well as of [[horse]]s, and, as "Earth-Shaker," of [[earthquake]]s. The name of the sea-god [[Nethuns]] in [[Etruscan mythology|Etruscan]] was adopted in Latin for [[Neptune (mythology)|Neptune]] in [[Roman mythology]]: both were sea gods analogous to Poseidon. [[Linear B]] tablets show that Poseidon was venerated at [[Pylos]] and [[Thebes, Greece|Thebes]] in pre-Olympian [[Bronze Age Greece]], but he was integrated into the [[Olympian gods]] as the brother of [[Zeus]] and [[Hades]]. Poseidon has many children. There is a [[Homeric hymn]] to Poseidon, who was the protector of many Hellenic cities, although he lost the contest for [[Athens]] to [[Athena]]. Poseidon was given a trident during the [[Titanomachy|war of the Titans and the gods]], in which he fought alongside his siblings. The war lasted ten years, after which the gods divided the earth among themselves by drawing lots. Zeus took the sky, Poseidon the sea and Hades the underworld. Although Poseidon, unlike Hades, had a throne on [[Mt. Olympus]], he liked to stay underwater in his palace with his queen [[Amphitrite]], the daughter of the [[Old Man of the Sea]]. Poseidon's symbols are the trident and the dolphin. ==Worship of Poseidon== Poseidon was a major civic god of several cities: in [[History of Athens|Athens]], he was second only to [[Athena]] in importance; while in [[Corinth]] and many cities of [[Magna Graecia]] he was the chief god of the [[polis]]. In his benign aspect, Poseidon was seen as creating new [[island]]s and offering calm seas. When offended or ignored, he supposedly struck the ground with his [[trident]] and caused [[chaos|chaotic]] springs, [[earthquake]]s, drownings and [[ship]]wrecks. Sailors prayed to Poseidon for a safe voyage, sometimes drowning horses as a sacrifice. According to [[Pausanias (geographer)|Pausanias]], Poseidon was one of the caretakers of the [[Delphic oracle|oracle at Delphi]] before Olympian [[Apollo]] took it over. Apollo and Poseidon worked closely in many realms: in colonization, for example, Delphic Apollo provided the authorization to go out and settle, while Poseidon watched over the colonists on their way, and provided the [[holy water|lustral water]] for the foundation-sacrifice. [[Xenophon]]'s [[Anabasis_(Xenophon)|''Anabasis'']] describes a group of [[Sparta]]n soldiers in 400-399 BCE singing to Poseidon a [[paean]] - a kind of hymn normally sung for Apollo. Like [[Dionysus]], who inflamed the [[maenads]], Poseidon also caused certain forms of mental disturbance. A [[Hippocrates|Hippocratic]] text of ca 400 BCE, ''On the Sacred Disease''<ref>[http://classics.mit.edu/Hippocrates/sacred.html (Hippocrates), ''On the Sacred Disease'', Francis Adams, tr.]</ref> says that he was blamed for certain types of epilepsy. [[Image:Temple of Poseidon.jpg|thumb|left|Temple of Poseidon at [[Cape Sounion]], ca 440 BCE]] ===Bronze Age Greece=== The name seems to rather transparently stem from [[Greek language|Greek]] ''pósis'' "lord, husband" with a less-transparent ''-don'' element, perhaps from ''dea'', "goddess'. If surviving [[Linear B]] [[clay tablet]]s can be trusted, the name PO-SE-DA-WO-NE ("Poseidon") occurs with greater frequency than does DI-U-JA (Zeus). A feminine variant, PO-SE-DE-IA, is also found, indicating a lost consort goddess, in effect a precursor of [[Amphitrite]]. Tablets from Pylos record sacrificial goods destined for "the Two Queens and Poseidon" and to "the Two Queens and the King". The most obvious identification for the "Two Queens" is with [[Demeter]] and [[Persephone]], or their precursors, goddesses who were not associated with Poseidon in later periods. Poseidon is already identified as "Earth-Shaker"&mdash; E-NE-SI-DA-O-NE&mdash; in Mycenaean [[Knossos]],<ref name=Earth_shaker>{{cite web | url = http://www.csun.edu/~hcfll004/mycen.html | title = Mycenaean Divinities | accessmonthday = September 2 | accessyear = 2006 | work = List of Handouts for Classics 315 | first = Professor John Paul | last = Adams}}</ref> a powerful attribute where earthquakes had accompanied the collapse of the [[Minoan civilization|Minoan palace-culture]]. In the heavily sea-dependent Mycenean culture, no connection between Poseidon and the sea has yet surfaced; among the Olympians it was determined by lot that he should rule over the sea (Hesiod, ''Theogony'' 456): the god preceded his realm. Demeter and Poseidon's names are linked in one Pylos tablet, where they appear as PO-SE-DA-WO-NE and DA, referred to by the epithets '''Enosichthon''', '''Seischthon''' and '''Ennosigaios''', all meaning "earth-shaker" and referring to his role in causing earthquakes. ==Poseidon in myth== ===Birth and triumph over Cronus=== Poseidon was a son of [[Cronus]] and [[Rhea (mythology)|Rhea]]. In most accounts he is swallowed by Cronus at birth but later [[Cronus#In Greek mythology and early myths|saved]], with his other brother and sisters, by [[Zeus]]. However in some versions of the story, he, like his brother Zeus, did not share the fate of his other brother and sisters who were eaten by Cronus. He was saved by his mother Rhea, who concealed him among a flock of lambs pretended to have given birth to a colt, which she gave to Cronus to devour.<ref>In the second century CE, a well with the name of ''Arne'', the "lamb's well", in the neighbourhood of [[Mantineia]] in [[Arcadia]], where old traditions lingered, was shown to [[Pausanias (geographer)|Pausanias]]. (Pausanias viii.8.2.)</ref> According to [[John Tzetzes]]<ref>Tzetzes, ''[[ad Lycophron]]'' 644.</ref> the ''[[kourotrophos]]'', or nurse of Poseidon was [[Arne (mythology)|Arne]], who denied knowing where he was, when Cronus came searching; according to [[Diodorus Siculus]]<ref>Diodorus, v. 55.</ref> Poseidon was raised by the [[Telchines]] on [[Rhodes]], just as [[Zeus]] was raised by the [[Korybantes]] on [[Crete]]. According to a single reference in the ''[[Iliad]]'', when the world was divided by lot in three, [[Zeus]] received the sky, [[Hades]] the [[underworld]] and Poseidon the sea. ===The foundation of Athens=== Athena became the patron goddess of the city of [[Athens]] after a competition with Poseidon. Yet Poseidon remained a numinous presence on the [[Acropolis]] in the form of his surrogate, [[Erechtheus]]. At the dissolution festival at the end of the year in the Athenian calendar, the [[Skira]], the priests of Athena and the priest of Poseidon would process [[Baldachin|under canopies]] to [[Eleusis]].<ref>Discussed by Walter Burkert, ''Homo Necans'', (1972, tr. 1983143-49.</ref> They agreed that each would give the Athenians one gift and the Athenians would choose whichever gift they preferred. Poseidon struck the ground with his trident and a spring sprang up; the water was salty and not very useful,<ref>Another version of the myth says that Poseidon gave horses to Athens.</ref> whereas Athena offered them an olive tree. The Athenians (or their king, [[Cecrops]]) accepted the olive tree and along with it Athena as their patron, for the olive tree brought [[wood]], [[olive oil|oil]] and food. After the fight, infuriated at his loss, Poseidon sent a monstrous flood to the Attic Plain, to punish the Athenians for not choosing him. The depression made by Poseidon's trident and filled with salt water was surrounded by the northern hall of the [[Erechtheum]], remaining open to the air. "In [[Cult (religion)|cult]], Poseidon was identified with Erechtheus," [[Walter Burkert]] noted.<ref>Burkert, ''Homo Necans'' (1972, tr. 1983:157). "That Poseidon and Erechtheus were merely two names for a single god, a fact that is stated by Euripides, is also clearly visible in the cult." (p. 149).</ref> "the myth turns this into a temporal-causal sequence: in his anger at losing, Poseidon led his son [[Eumolpus]] against Athens and killed Erectheus." The contest of Athena and Poseidon was the subject of the reliefs on the western pediment of the [[Parthenon]], the first sight that greeted the arriving visitor. This myth is construed by [[Robert Graves]] and others as reflecting a clash between the inhabitants during Mycenaean times and newer immigrants. It is interesting to note that Athens at its height was a significant sea power, at one point defeating the [[Iran|Persian]] fleet at [[Salamis Island]] in a sea battle. ===The walls of Troy=== Poseidon and [[Apollo]], having offended [[Zeus]], were sent to serve King [[Laomedon]] of Troy. He had them build huge walls around the city and promised to reward them well, a promise he then refused to fulfill. In vengeance, before the [[Trojan War]], Poseidon sent a sea monster to attack Troy (it was later killed by [[Perseus]]). ===Consorts/children=== [[Image:Neptúnova fontána.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Neptune's fountain in [[Prešov]], [[Slovakia]]]] His consort was [[Amphitrite]], a [[nymph]] and ancient sea-goddess, daughter of [[Nereus]] and [[Doris]]. Poseidon was the father of many heroes. He is thought to have fathered the famed [[Theseus]]. A mortal woman named [[Tyro]] was married to [[Cretheus]] (with whom she had one son, [[Aeson]]) but loved [[Enipeus]], a [[river]] [[god]]. She pursued Enipeus, who refused her advances. One day, Poseidon, filled with lust for Tyro, disguised himself as Enipeus, and from their union were born the heroes [[Pelias]] and [[Neleus]], twin boys. Poseidon also had an affair with [[Alope]], his granddaughter through [[Cercyon]], begetting the Attic hero [[Hippothoon]]. Cercyon had his daughter buried alive but Poseidon turned her into the spring, Alope, near [[Eleusis]]. Poseidon rescued [[Amymone]] from a lecherous [[satyr]] and then fathered a child, [[Nauplius (mythology)|Nauplius]], by her. After having raped [[Caeneus]], Poseidon fulfilled her request and changed her into a male warrior. Not all of Poseidon's children were human. In an archaic myth, Poseidon once pursued [[Demeter]]. She spurned his advances, turning herself into a [[Mare (horse)|mare]] so that she could hide in a herd of horses; he saw through the deception and became a [[Horse|stallion]] and [[rape|captured]] her. Their child was a [[horse]], [[Arion (mythology)|Arion]], which was capable of human speech. Poseidon also courted [[Medusa]] on the floor of a temple to [[Athena]]. Medusa was then changed into a [[monster]]. When she was later beheaded by the hero [[Perseus]], [[Chrysaor]] and [[Pegasus]] emerged from her neck. There is also [[Triton (mythology)|Triton]], the [[merman]]; [[Polyphemus]], the [[cyclops]]; and [[Aloadae|Oto and Ephialtae]], the [[giant (mythology)|giants]]. {{cite web |url=http://ancienthistory.about.com/cs/grecoromanmyth1/a/poseidonmates.htm |title=Mates and Children of Poseidon |accessdate=2007-02-05 |author=Gill, N.S. |year=2007 |language=English}}<!-- I hope I did this right.

He was associated with [[dolphin]]s and three-pronged [[fish]] [[spear]]s ([[trident]]s). He lived in a palace on the [[ocean]] floor, made of [[coral]] and [[gem]]s. In the ''[[Iliad]]'' Poseidon favors the Greeks, and on several occasion takes an active part in the battle against the Trojan forces. However, in Book XX he rescues [[Aeneas]] after the Trojan prince is laid low by [[Achilles]]. In the ''[[Odyssey]]'', Poseidon is notable for his hatred of [[Odysseus]] due to the latter's having blinded the god's son, the [[cyclops]] [[Polyphemus]]. The enmity of Poseidon prevents Odysseus's return home to [[Ithaca]] for many years. Odysseus is even told, notwithstanding his ultimate safe return, that to placate the wrath of Poseidon will require one more voyage on his part. In the ''[[Aeneid]]'', Neptune is still resentful of the wandering Trojans, but is not as vindictive as [[Juno (mythology)|Juno]], and in Book I he rescues the Trojan fleet from the goddess's attempts to wreck it, although his primary motivation for doing this is his annoyance at Juno's having intruded into his domain. A hymn to Poseidon included among the [[Homeric Hymn]]s is a brief invocation, a seven-line introduction that addresses the god as both "mover of the earth and barren sea, god of the deep who is also lord of [[Mount Helicon|Helicon]] and wide [[Aegae]]<ref>The ancient palace-city that was replaced by [[Vergina]]</ref>, and specificies his twofold nature as an Olympian: "a tamer of horses and a saviour of ships." ===In contemporary culture=== "King" Neptune appears as the ruler of the sea, from cans of tuna to ''[[The Spongebob Squarepants Movie]]''. Disney animators have portrayed Neptune as a fish-man, mistaking him for [[Typhon]], in the 1997 animated ''[[Hercules (1997 film)|Hercules]]''. In [[Percy Jackson & The Olympians]], by [[Rick Riordan]], the main character Perseus Jackson is a son of Poseidon (making him a [[demigod]]). The comic book superheroes [[Namor]] and [[Aquaman]] also bear a strong resemblance to Poseidon. In the anime/manga, [[Eyeshield 21]], one of the teams is called Kyoshin Poseidon, with Poseidon as the mascot. In the animé [[One Piece]] Poseidon is viewed as a weapon capable of destruction on a massive level which can be found by reading the inscriptions on a poneglyph. In the manga [[Saint Seiya]], [[Poseidon_(Saint_Seiya)|Poseidon]] is one of arc villains and the name of second story arc in the series. ''[[The Poseidon Adventure]]'' is a 1969 Novel by Paul Gallico depicting a luxury ocean liner named Poseidon. On New Year's Eve the ship is hit by a rogue wave and capsizes but does not sink immediately, which starts a battle for survival for the people still inside the ship. It was made into a 1972 motion picture directed by Irwin Allen and re-made into a 2005 motion picture named ''Poseidon'' which was directed by Wolfgang Peterson. Poseidon is the name of a United States Military [[Nuclear Missile]] that is launched via [[submarine]]. ''[[Age of Mythology]]'' In the Age Of Mythology Game's Campaign Poseidon is seduced by the power the Titan Kronos promises him in return to setting him free. Poseidon then aids one of his cyclops children Gargarenses in freeing the Titan. They are eventually through mortal means, discovered by Zeus who after the plan is foiled chains Poseidon in Tartarus for his betrayal. In [[Marvel Comics]], Poseidon (more frequently referred to as "Neptune") is the patron deity of [[Namor]] the Sub-Mariner, and his undersea kingdom of [[Atlantis]]. ===Sound and images=== {| class="wikitable" |- ! style="background:#ffdead;" | Poseidon myths as told by story tellers |- |[[Media:Zeus and Tantalus, with Poseidon and Pelops - wiki.ogg|'''1.
