Poseidon, also called Neptune by the Romans, was the god of the sea in ancient Greek mythology.  Following the overthrow of the [[Titans]], he was granted dominion over the sea, while [[Zeus]] was granted dominion over the sky, and [[Hades]] dominion over the [[underworld]].  Sailors often prayed to Poseidon for safe journeys, and in mythology failure to pay heed to Poseidon would lead to disastrous travel.  In [[The Odyssey]], Odysseus (also called Ulysses by the Romans) attacks the Cicones, a favored tribe of Poseidon, and blinds Polyphemus, a Cyclops and son of Poseidon.  As a result, Poseidon causes storms that blow Odysseus off course, and through a series of misadventures, cause him not to return home for 20 years.
