Poseidon was the god of the sea and is beside Zeus und Hera one of the oldest Olympic gods. He loved quite a lot of different gods and ordinary person and had a lot of children with them. His empire, the oceans, the seas and the rivers and he traveled across with a golden trailer always surrounded of dolphins. His weapon was the trident   and everywhere they were afraid of it. His wife was the daughter of Nereus and Doris, Amphitricha. She became the Princes of the Sea.

In the Trojan war he was fighting with the Greeks, but became that angry about the destruction of the city that he made the return of some hero's to hell. Among them Odysseus. Sure as he built the big walls of the Trojans

They said that one reason for Ariadnes stay in Naxos was her meeting with Poseidon, and they had later one two children.
