Publisher's Summary:
Poseidon is one of the most easily recognizable characters in all of ancient Greek mythology. His signature trident is iconic; one sight of it invariably floods the modern mind with images of aquatic chariots and daunting typhoons. But there is so much more to the character of Poseidon than maritime denizens and disasters, which shouldn't really come as a surprise.
Poseidon was one of the most revered gods of the ancient Mediterranean for centuries - if not millennia - and that kind of reverence brings with it the layering of myths, rituals, and history like the strata of sediments on a river bed. The idea of a god like Poseidon being only the god of the sea is too minimalistic and too reductionist to come anywhere near the truth of how an ancient worshipper may have pictured him in her prayers.

This was another good book in the series Charles River seems to be doing of Greek gods, where the book explains the stories about the gods and their historical links to actual real life events in Greek history. They're fun to read.

This isn't very long but a concise on the background story of the ancient Greek god, Poseidon, how it ties in with other Greek myths. I would recommend it for background information if you are into ancient Greek history.
Three Stars
good quick read about Poseidon
REALITY SEE the LORD of the SEA
â Poseidon's / Neptune's Trident iconic signature is very beautiful; however, his genealogy and progeny is too convoluted and weaved in complicated legends.
â Reality, "SEE" the Creator, who is the Lord of the SEA.
