Poseidon in ancient Greek mythology was the god of the sea, horses, earthquakes and storms, floods and droughts, and was also a protector of mariners. Due to his governance over natural disasters like storms and floods, Poseidon was probably the most destructive of the gods, although he wasn't necessarily always a negative force. Poseidon was also associated with horses, as the patron of horses and horse breeding, and to the Romans, he was known as Neptune.

Poseidon was married to the Nereid Amphitrite, although she didn’t always seem too keen on the prospect of marrying Poseidon since, at one point, she fled to the Atlas mountains until the dolphin Delphinus persuaded her to return and marry the god of the sea. With Amphitrite, Poseidon had a few children, their most famous being Triton who was half fish and half man.
