mythology family ♥︎ poseidon for @feanarofinwion
poseidon, in greek religion, god of the sea (and of water generally), earthquakes, and horses. the name poseidon means either “husband of the earth” or “lord of the earth.” traditionally, he was a son of cronus (the youngest of the 12 titans) and of cronus’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.
