There are three thousand sons – river gods, and three thousand daughters – oceanids, goddesses of streams and springs, Ocean. He lives far away, on the borders of the world, and earthly affairs do not trouble his heart. The sea gods are powerful, their power is great, but all of them are ruled by the great brother of Zeus, Poseidon.Īll the seas and all the lands are surrounded by the white-haired Ocean – a titan god, equal to Zeus himself in almost glory. Often, floating from the depths of the sea to the surface, he revealed the future and gave wise advice to mortals who crossed the seas. Among the companions of the earthquaking Poseidon is the god Glaucus, patron saint of sailors and fishermen and he has the gift of prophecy. And he is a prophetic god, you just have to make him discover the secret of the future. The storm subsides, again the sea is calm, smooth as a mirror and barely audible splashes along the shore – blue, endless.Īmong the sea deities is the old man Proteus, who changes his image like the sea and becomes at will various animals and monsters. But as long as Poseidon stretches his trident over the waves, they calm down. Then the violent sea waves hit the rocky shore with a crash and shook the earth. And when Poseidon waves his terrible trident, then the sea waves rise like mountains, covered with white ridges of foam, and a fierce storm rages in the sea. Equal in beauty to Zeus himself, he drifts swiftly across the boundless sea, surrounded by dolphins, fish float out of the depths of the sea and crowd around his chariot. When he races across the sea in his chariot drawn by wild horses, the ever-roaring waves recede and give way to Lord Poseidon. Among the deities are the beautiful sisters of Amphitrite – the Nereids. Among them is Poseidon’s son Triton, who with the thunderous sound of his shell pipe causes terrible storms. High above the palace the sea waves roar, a host of sea deities surround Poseidon, subject to his will.
Since then, Amphitrite has lived with her husband Poseidon in his underwater palace. Poseidon and Amphitrite, Jacob de Gheyn II (1500) Poseidon abducted the beautiful daughter of Nereus from Atlas and married her. At last the dolphin tells him where her hiding place is for this service Poseidon places the dolphin among the celestial constellations. For a long time Poseidon could not find Nereus’s beautiful daughter. But Amphitrite hid from the titan Atlas, who held the firmament on his strong shoulders. Captivated by the beautiful Amphitrite, the god of the sea wanted to kidnap her with his chariot. He saw her once when she was dancing with her nereid sisters on the coast of Naxos Island. There, in the depths of the sea, he lives with Poseidon and his beautiful wife Amphitrite, the daughter of the sea-sage-mystery Nereus, whom Poseidon, the great lord of the depths of the sea, stole from her father. Poseidon rules over the seas and the sea waves obey the slightest movement of his hand, armed with a terrible trident. Deep in the abyss is the wonderful palace of the earthquaking Poseidon, the great brother of the thunderer Zeus.
