Poseidon, Greek god of the sea and all waters (Roman Neptunus), son of the Titan Kronos and his sister and wife Rhea, brother of Zeus and Hades, 
  
with whom he shared dominion over the world, husband of Amphitrite, who bore him Triton. Poseidon was the lord of the earth's depths, who caused earthquakes and storms with his trident. He was highly revered as the god of earthquakes, especially in Boeotia and Arcadia, which is why the poet Homer gave him the nickname ‘Earthshaker’.
 
He dwelt in the depths of the sea and appeared in a large retinue of lesser sea deities and animals. He built the walls of the city of Asia Minor for Laomedon, whose son Priam later ruled Troy. 
 
Enraged by the blinding of his son Polyphemos, he pursued Odysseus with his wrath. Poseidon was often associated with bulls or horses and was considered the protector of fishing.
 
The Isthmian Games have been celebrated in honour of Poseidon since 582 BC. In the 2nd and 4th year of each Olympiad, the Isthmian Games were held on the Isthmus of Corinth with sporting competitions and horse races, and later also with musical competitions. The winning prize was a spruce wreath.
 
In art, Poseidon was usually depicted naked and with a trident. The depiction of Poseidon's quarrel with Athena in the west pediment of the Parthenon is famous. Numerous fountains have sculptures of Poseidon.
 
 
The 2.08 metre high bronze hollow-cast statue was probably created by the early classical artist Kalamis around 450 BC. It was found in 1928 in the sea near Cape Artemision, in the north of the island of Euboea.
