As the god of the sea, Poseidon traveled with his golden chariot on the waves, which opened happily in his passage, while dolphins played around him. With his trident he could both create storms and calm the water. He was considered the protector of sailors and fishermen and even, as responsible for geological phenomena such as earthquakes, he was offered sacrifices and invocations for the stability of the land and the safety of buildings, while he was honored with horse racing.

Poseidon was an important god of various cities: in Athens, he was second only to Athena in importance, while in Corinth and in many cities of Greater Greece he was the chief god of the city. In his benevolent aspect, Poseidon presented himself by creating new islands and offering calm seas. But when he was angry, he hit the ground with his trident and caused chaos, earthquakes, shipwrecks and drownings at sea. In the Odyssey, Poseidon’s grudge against Odysseus prevented the multi-talented hero from arriving in his homeland, Ithaca. Sailors prayed to Poseidon for a safe voyage.
