Poseidon

"Poseidon, god of the ocean. Thank you for watching over the Adrestia."

- Kassandra

Poseidon, known to the Romans as Neptune, is the Greek god of the seas and the ocean, horses and earthquakes.

He is regarded as one of the Twelve Gods, the major deities of the Greek pantheon as well as the brother of Pluto. Additionally, Poseidon was also rumoured to have fathered Byzas with the nymph. Byzas later became the founder of Byzantium, which later came to be known as Constantinople.

Amphitrite, wife of Poseidon and queen of the sea, was said to have birthed his other son Triton, who had a conch shell to control the sea.

During the Peloponnesian War the misthios Kassandra obtained Poseidon's Trident within the ruins of a temple dedicated to him. This trident was an Isu artefact attributed to Poseidon that allowed the wielder to breathe underwater and was said to "control the seas".

In 48 BCE, Poseidon was invoked by Phoxidas during his time defending the Egyptian seas with Aya.
