Poseidon, earth-shaker, master of all the waters of the world, your hand we see in the trembling earth and the roiling seas; by your will does the land beneath our feet convulse and split open, by your might do waves crest and crash on the shore, breaking the works of men beneath. Many are the names we give to your rage–tremor, tsunami, landslide, surge–yet all are within your power to compel or to conclude. Poseidon, I pray to you, have mercy on the children of men, still and subdue the wrathful earth.
