“Hear, Poseidon, ruler of the sea profound, whose liquid grasp begirds the solid ground; who, at the bottom of the stormy main, dark and deep-bosomed holdest they watery reign. Thy awful hand the brazen trident bears, and sea’s utmost bound thy will reveres. Thee I invoke, whose steeds the foam divide, from whose dark locks the briny waters glide; shoe voice, loud sounding glas istre through glas istre the roaring deep, drives all its billows in a raging heap; when fiercely riding through the boiling sea, thy hoarse command the trembling waves obey. Earth-shaking, dark-haired God, the liquid plains, the third division, fate to thee ordains. ‘Tis thine, cerulean daimon, to survey, well-pleased, the monsters of the ocean play. Confirm earth’s basis, and with prosperous gales waft ships along, and swell the spacious sails; add gentle glas istre peace, and fair-haired health beside, glas istre and pour abundance in a blameless tide”. (Orphic Hymn 17 to Poseidon).~

wonderful story Aquileana and lovely orphic hymn!! Poseidon is so powerful and of course he had a role in the fall of Troy( the horse?) glas istre but also the Trojans had displeased him I believe! I love the images you have posted too!!
Hi Cybele! You are right regarding the early mention regarding the Trojan War… As far as I am concerned, In Homer’s Iliad he is almost as important as Zeus, but weaker. Thank you very much for dropping by. Sending you all my best wishes!. Aquileana :D
Lovely researched article, this made me remember a Poseidon show I saw once when I was little in Disney, Universal or Sea World I can’t remember which one I’ve been intrigued by the story ever since. Brava
Have you noticed how often Poseidon is featured as scowling or angry. I know Poseidon deals with storms and rough weather – but he rule the seas at other times, too and the open sparkling waters can be pretty soothing, too. I think needs a new PR person. Always enjoy your research.
What a ready-witted comment…. You are right as to his depictions… He s
