My dad, brother and I are reading
“The Titan’s Curse” by
Rick Riordan. One of the characters is Poseidon and I wanted to learn more
about him. Poseidon is the Greek god of the sea. He is one of the most powerful
gods.
Poseidon’s family are the gods and goddesses. One of his brothers
is Zeus and his dad is Kronus. Kronus
was a Titan and he ate Poseidon and his brothers and sisters. Zeus saved
them by giving Kronus a potion. Then there was a big war between the gods and
Kronus that almost destroyed the world. The gods won and became the rulers of
the universe.
Poseidon had a lot of wives and kids. One of his main wives
was Amphitrite. Some of his kids were Cyclops, sea monsters and half-bloods. He
sometimes turns into a horse. Once he was a horse and had a love affair with
Medusa.
As the god of the sea, Poseidon is very powerful. Poseidon
has a trident. When he puts his trident in the ground it splits open and starts
to rumble. If he puts his trident in the sea it rumbles and there are crashing
waves that drowns people and sinks ships. He can be nice. Sometimes he puts his
hand out and makes islands and nice calm waves.
I think it would be scary to meet Poseidon but I like
reading books about him.
