POSEIDON

Decorative figurine

depicting Poseidon on a wave, in the form of a merman, holding the trident. In Greek mythology, Poseidon is one of the main Olympian Gods, the supreme god of the waters, and thus of the sea. Poseidon’s main symbol – his emblem – is the trident, which was both a scepter of recognition and a means or weapon for enforcing his will. With it, by stinging the sea or rocks accordingly, he caused natural disasters, storms, earthquakes, earthquakes, depressions, volcanic eruptions, etc., but conversely peace, tranquility, solidity and even the emergence of land, or gushing waters. Other symbols of Poseidon were the bull (especially on the rivers), the horse, and the dolphin , as these were established his sacred animals, by the respective aspect of the state of the sea.
