Lil' Poseidon Statue

Poseidon – Greek God of the Sea, Earthquakes, and Horses

CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE:

• Poseidon is one of the Twelve Olympians and the brother of Zeus and Hades. As god of the sea, he rules over oceans, rivers, storms, and aquatic life—but also holds dominion over earthquakes and horses.

• Feared and respected in equal measure, Poseidon represents the unpredictable, emotional, and deeply primal forces of nature.

• Mariners, coastal cities, and even entire regions of ancient Greece worshipped him for protection, safe passage, and control over natural disasters.
