Ever since my birth I’ve been alone,left to fend for myself my own father Poseidon doesn’t even speak with me. I’ve tried to be accepted by going kingdom to kingdom but all the humans did was chase me away with flaming sticks,and it really upset me I didn’t learn till later that all humans wanted to do to me was kill me. After I had just been chased out of yet another village, a human approached me begging for my help due to my massive size and strength. He led me to another human trapped under a boulder I removed the boulder from atop of him. The two humans brought me to their kingdom and convinced the others that I was a gentle giant and things finally started to look up for me. The humans began to show me extreme hospitality in exchange

    Born to the Titans Kronos and Rhea, Poseidon is the Greek deity of the Sea. In Greek Mythology, Poseidon is described as an immortal majestically bearded God, often seen with his Trident spear as he rules over the oceans and seas. Poseidon is wrathful, easily angered and vengeful but also mature and wise; peaceful and calm, serene like the sea, but also violent like the storms he produces. Because of his easily angered character, he is also called the "Earth-shaker", causing massive floods, earthquakes, tsunamis and other natural disasters when angered. Despite being described with a short temper, Poseidon also shows kindness and often rewards those who pleases the God of the Sea.

    The first king of Athens, Cecrops, had to find a patron deity for the city state of Athens. The two Olympian gods who were interested in the patronage were Poseidon and Athena. They presented themselves to Cecrops and he asked them to offer a gift valuable to Athens. Poseidon hit the ground with his trident and a water wall grew, but found that the water was salty. Athena struck the ground with her spear, opening a crack; she then kneeled down and planted an olive branch which grew to an olive tree. Cecrops was very happy with Athena’s gift and chose her to lay claim of the city of Athens and named the city after her. Poseidon was angry at Cecrops’s choice and so Poseidon cursed the city of Athena to never have enough water from there on.…
