Sixth Post:Poseidon and Zeus

http://blogs.yis.ac.jp/19vettorettij/2013/02/24/poseidon-and-ares/  Poseidon is the Greek god of the sea.  His mother and father are the titans Kronos and Rhea. His brothers and sisters are Zeus, God of the sky and thunder, Hera, Goddess of women and marriage, Demeter, Goddess of agriculture, Hades, God of the dead and the Underworld, and Hestia, Goddess of the hearth. Poseidon and all of his brothers and sister except Zeus were swallowed by their father because he was afraid of the prophecy that told him one of his son would kill him as he kill his father. Rhea gave Kronos a rock to eat instead of Zeus. When Zeus was all grown up he feed his father a mixture of mustard and wine that made him vomit. Kronos vomited Poseidon and all of his brothers and sisters up. Then Zeus destroyed Kronos with his own scythe and threw him into the depths of Tartarus.  Poseidon's wife is Amphitrite. His children are all cyclops Theseus, Triton, Polyphemus, Belus, Agenor, Neleus, and Atlas. The Cyclops made him his trident. Poseidon had a competition with Athena over the city Athens. Athena created an olive tree; Poseidon produced a saltwater spring. The people of Athens thought Athena's gift was better. You can kind of see why the people Athens thought Athena's gift was better.Poseidon got angry anyway and flooded the place. Once Poseidon even tried to seduce the beautiful sea nymph Scylla, his wife, Amphitrite, became jealous and transformed her into a horrible sea monster with six dogs' heads. Scylla terrorized sailors, and she devoured several of Odysseus's companions. Poseidon symbols are a trident, Dolphin, Horse. He created the horse. The island of Atlantis was the chosen domain of Poseidon.  Poseidon has been call Earth-Shaker and Father of horses. He can make earthquakes. He is one of the most known god in Greek mythology. His lives on Mount Olympus with the rest of the Olympian gods and goddesses.
