 Poseidon, Lord of the Seas

Poseidon was powerful, decisive, competitive, and dignified.

It was very important to stay on his "good side", for he was also moody
and quick to take offense. He made a hobby out of taking revenge.

He spent eight years getting even with Odysseus for blinding his one-eyed
son, Cyclops.

Before setting out to sea, ancient mariners would pray and make offerings
to Poseidon, hoping for a safe and profitable journey.

His Roman name is “Neptune”.
