POSEIDON

Also known as ENOSICHTHON

POSEIDON: God of the Sea. Took charge of the waves while his brothers ZEUS and HADES plumped for the earthy bits.

Feared by sailors, he can cause storms and shipwrecks with the aid of his three-pronged trident, but if he's in a good mood he can soothe the sea to sleep.

He's father of many Gods and heroes, including THESEUS, TRITON, POLYPHEMUS, ORION and PEGASUS. His wife is the reluctant AMPHITRITE but he still leaps from one lusty affair to the next. With Iphimedeia he produced the ill-fated ALOADAE twins OTUS and EPHIALTES. DEMETER presented him with ARION and DESPOENA. And so on. Sea air is obviously good for the libido. Check out his flowing beard and ruddy complexion.

Under the Romans, POSEIDON was poised and ready to become NEPTUNE.
