Poseidon

Poseidon

  Poseidon was the middle boy child of Kronos and Rhea. He was the god of the seas and creator of earthquakes. He was called the Earthshaker because of how he created earthquakes with his Trident, his symbol of power. He married Amphitrite, one of the 50 Nerieds. She initially didn't want to marry Poseidon, but Delphin, the minor god of dolphins, convinced her that Poseidon would treat her well. Poseidon was overjoyed, because he was in love with her. They later had two children, Triton-the original figure for mermaids- and Rhode-a minor sea nymph.
