Poseidon concept art
"Upon defeating the Titans, Poseidon took dominion over the seas and is master to its creatures."
Greek Mythology
In Greek mythology, Poseidon was the god of the seas and of earthquakes. He was the son of the Titans Cronos and Rhea, and in some versions of the Greek myth was one of the children swallowed by Cronos. However, in other versions, Poseidon was saved along with Zeus, by being concealed among a flock of lambs. To escape the fate of being swallowed, Rhea pretended to have given birth to a colt, which she gave to Cronos to devour. Poseidon was also known to have spawned many children, both human and creature.
