Poseidon

Poseidon is the supreme sea god in ancient Greek mythology, one of the three main Olympian gods along with Zeus and Hades. Son of the Titan Kronos and Rhea, brother of Zeus, Hades, Hera, Demeter and Hestia. When the world was divided after the victory over the Titans, Poseidon got the water element. Gradually, he pushed aside the ancient local gods of the sea: Nereus, Oceanus, Proteus and others. Giving Poseidon the status of supreme god is connected with the great importance of the sea for the ancient Greeks, because Greece is surrounded by seas and is a maritime civilization.
