Poseidon, in ancient Greek religion, god of the sea (and of water generally), earthquakes, and horses. He is distinguished from Pontus, the personification of the sea and the oldest Greek divinity of the waters. The name Poseidon means either +IBw-husband of the earth+IB0 or +IBw-lord of the earth.+IB0 Traditionally, he was a son of Cronus (the youngest of the 12 Titans) and of Cronus+IBk-s sister and consort Rhea, a fertility goddess. Poseidon was a brother of Zeus, the sky god and chief deity of ancient Greece, and of Hades, god of the underworld. When the three brothers deposed their father, the kingdom of the sea fell by lot to Poseidon. His weapon and main symbol was the trident, perhaps once a fish spear. According to the Greek poet Hesiod, Poseidon+IBk-s trident, like Zeus+IBk-s thunderbolt and Hades+IBk helmet, was fashioned by the three Cyclopes.
