Poseidon was son of cronus and rhea, and brother of Zeus. After the war with the titans he became the mighty and majestic god of the sea, ruling all the waters around the earth. He was considered to have the greatest power next to Zeus. Poseidon ruled his kingdom with cold shaking. He could call up all the big winds and stir up or calm down the stormy oceans. With a trident in his hand he flew across the waves in a carriage drawn by horses with bronze hoofs and golden hairs. Although he had a seat on Olympus, he lived, most of the time, in his shining golden palace in the deeps of the oceans
