NEPTUNE GOD OF THE SEA

An Olympian God like no other
God of the sea, guards ocean portal
Cronus his father, Rhea his mother
He can never age and is immortal

Cronus sent all his offspring to Hades
Always in fear he would be overthown
Rhea sent Neptune to Rhodes by the sea
Hidden from his father, his fate unknown

Gods taught Neptune his mystical power
This God of Atlantis would rule the sea
Gigantic in stature he would tower
Helped by Zeus, set his sibblings free

Clash with the Titans lasted ten years
Zeus, Neptune victorious they became
Protector of fishermen, he appears
Poseidon was to be his other name

His magical powers made oceans swell
Fires powerful bolts from each hand.
Can be invisible so no one can tell
Transport himself in dimensions overland

Made by the cyclopes, a trident to hold
Water pressure raised with white caps
It helps him make tidal waves to behold.
Make fog and storms, move ships in a snap

Healer of humans and amphipious
Tranform beings into other shapes
This powerful God from Mount Olympus
Turned stallion to seahorse on the cape

Greek god of water and the sea, son of Cronus and Rhea. His brothers were Zeus and Hades. When the three brothers deposed their father, the kingdom of the sea fell by lot to Poseidon. Unpredictable and sometimes violent, he was also god of earthquakes, and he was closely associated with horses. Most of his offspring were giants and savage creatures. By Medusa he was the father of the winged horse Pegasus. The Isthmian Games were held in his honor. In art he was often shown holding a trident and accompanied by a dolphin and tuna. The Romans identified him with Neptune
