Motiv / Thema:
Poseidon (altgriechisch Ποσειδῶν Poseidṓn) ist in der griechischen Mythologie der Gott des Meeres, Bruder des Zeus und eine der zwölf olympischen Gottheiten, den Olympioi. Das Pferd ist ihm heilig, weshalb Hippios (lateinisch Hippius) einer seiner Beinamen ist.
In der etruskischen Mythologie wurde er dem Nethuns gleichgesetzt, in der römischen dem Neptun. In der Tiefe des Meeres steht sein kristallener Palast.

Motif / Theme:
Poseidon is one of the Twelve Olympians in ancient Greek religion and mythology, presiding over the sea, storms, earthquakes and horses. He was the protector of seafarers and the guardian of many Hellenic cities and colonies. In pre-Olympian Bronze Age Greece, Poseidon was venerated as a chief deity at Pylos and Thebes, with the cult title "earth shaker"; in the myths of isolated Arcadia, he is related to Demeter and Persephone and was venerated as a horse, and as a god of the waters. Poseidon maintained both associations among most Greeks: He was regarded as the tamer or father of horses, who, with a strike of his trident, created springs (in the Greek language, the terms for both are related). His Roman equivalent is Neptune.
