Poseidon, Host of the Sea
"I advise caution in your dealings with him; his mood can change suddenly."Among the god Poseidon’s many aspects are his responsibilities over all matters concerning water. Like all men, we depend on water for our survival but also prosperity – ships, trade, armies, children – they all rely on the good grace of the Lord of the Sea. Unsurprisingly, he is venerated as their chief deity by many of the cities of Magna Graecia, and in Athens is second only to the goddess Athena in importance. When new islands are created or seas are unexpectedly calm, that is the work of Poseidon. When we have caused offence or failed to pay the correct level of attention, he strikes the ground with his trident, causing earthquakes, shipwrecks and drownings. Naturally, all Greek sailors pray to Poseidon in the hope of a safe voyage, even drowning a horse on occasion in sacrifice.
