Poseidon

God of the Sea

 

Distinguishing Features: Hawaiian shirt, shorts, flip flops, and a three-pointed trident.

 

Now: Poseidon walks the beaches of Florida, occasionally stopping to chat with fishermen or take pictures for tourists. If he’s in a bad mood, he stirs up a hurricane.

 

Then: Poseidon was always a moody guy. On his good days, he did cool stuff like create horses out of sea foam. On his bad days, he caused minor problems like destroying cities with earthquakes or sinking entire fleets of ships. But hey, a god has the right to throw a temper tantrum, doesn’t he?

 

Symbol: Three-pointed trident

 

Roman name: Neptune
