Olympian Census #3: Poseidon

Get the stats on your favorite (and not-so-favorite) gods and goddesses on view at the Getty Center.

Roman name: Neptune

Employment: God of the Sea

Place of residence: A fancy palace somewhere in the Aegean Sea

Parents: Cronus and Rhea

Marital status: Married to Amphitrite, a sea goddess, but had many affairs just like his brother Zeus

Offspring: Had many children including Triton, Theseus, Orion, Polyphemos and Arion

Symbol: Trident, horse, and dolphin

Special talent: Starting earthquakes & Shapeshifting into a horse to pursue women

Highlights reel:

When Goddess Demeter turned into a mare to escape Poseidon’s pursuit, Poseidon also turned into a horse and mated with her, creating a talking horse baby, Arion.

Athena became the patron goddess of Athens over Poseidon by giving the city an olive tree, which produced wood, oil, and food. Poseidon had given them a salt-water spring. Nice going, Poseidon.

Poseidon cursed Olysseus to wander the seas for 10 years after the Trojan War in revenge for Olysseus blinding his son, the cyclops Poplyphemos.

Olympian Census is a 12-part series profiling gods in art at the Getty Center.

#PaintingSetFree Post by our Instagram friend little_little_eva from her recent visit to the de Young. — So great seeing Turner’s later works in #PaintingSetFree today. A nice reminder to slow down and appreciate nature once in a while. (Also I love the little doggies in the bottom right corner). #art #SF @deyoungmuseum by little_little_eva http://bit.ly/1HxSulg
