'''Poseidon''', (Greek: Ποσειδών; Spanish: Poseidon) also called Neptune by the [[Romans]], is the god of the sea in ancient [[Greek]] [[mythology]]. Following the overthrow of the [[Titans]], the sons of [[Kronos]], drew lots; Poseidon was granted dominion over the sea, and over earthquakes and horses, 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.
