Have you ever wondered who rules the oceans? Meet Poseidon, the mighty Greek god of the sea! He's a powerful figure with a trident, a three-pronged spear that can shake the earth and stir up storms.

A Family of Gods
Poseidon is part of a powerful family of gods. He's a brother to Zeus, the king of the gods, and Hades, the ruler of the underworld. Together, they divided the world: Zeus got the sky, Hades the underworld, and Poseidon the vast oceans.

A Powerful Protector and a Fearsome Foe
Poseidon can be both a protector and a destroyer. He can calm the seas to help sailors, but he can also unleash raging storms. He's known for creating earthquakes and tsunamis with his powerful trident.
