00:12I rule the deepest seas, playing with the tides as I please, the mighty Kraken I control, sending him after
00:26wayward souls.
00:27I am the earth shaker, cause of earthquakes, you feel my work when the earth shakes, and such disturbing sounds
00:40I make, there, you will know when I wake, be calm child, the sea will not harm thee, it holds
00:51many secrets, I feel you agree,
00:54I feel your fear, do not be afraid, if danger comes, I will come to your aid.
01:09Poseidon, the ancient Greek god of the sea and horses, the earth shaker, the savior of sailors, the leader of
01:17nymphs, the tamer of horses.
01:18The one who caused the tides to flow, who could create sea storms to sink ships, who caused the earth
01:26to tremble at his will, he whose cry was as loud as ten thousand men combined.
01:32Known by the Romans, with the name, Neptune, he was a fearsome god.
01:38Poseidon was the son of the king and queen titans, Cronus, and Rhea.
01:43He was swallowed by his father, Cronus, owing to a prophecy, that Cronus' children would overthrow him.
01:49After Zeus saved him from the belly of their father, Poseidon, Hades, and Zeus, went into battle with the titans.
01:58The brothers overthrew the titans, and gained control of the world.
02:02They divided up the world among themselves, Poseidon took over the oceans and seas, Zeus took over the skies, and
02:10Hades, the underworld.
02:13Poseidon was a large, and fierce god, having long curly hair, a big beard, gleaming eyes, and a stern look.
02:21He often wields a three pronged golden spear, popularly called a trident, and sometimes, rides his watery four horse chariot,
02:30over the raging waves.
02:32The golden trident, is his most symbolic attribute, which he struck on a rock, to create the very first seahorse,
02:39Scythus, and tear off a piece of the island, Kos, which is known today, as the island, Nisiros.
02:47Now, Poseidon was a violent, impulsive, and raging god.
02:52He would cause the sea storms, to destroy the ships of sailors, who would not appease him, and cause earthquakes,
02:59to ravage the lands, of those who scorned his worship.
03:03Once, he had unleashed a flood on Athens, because the people chose Athena over him.
03:08He had also flooded the city of Argos, when he lost the control of the city, to Hera.
03:14In addition, when he could not stand the behavior and authority of Zeus, as the ruler, he connived with the
03:20other Olympians, to overthrow Zeus, which ended up unsuccessful.
03:25The sky god eventually overcame the rebels, with the help of the goddess, Thetis, and the hundred-handed man, Brarius.
03:34Alas, just like his brother, Zeus, Poseidon was well known, for his love of women, but at a slightly lesser
03:41degree.
03:42He had many consorts, who bore him many children.
03:46His faithful wife and queen of the seas, Amphitrite, bore him Triton, Binphesachimi, and in some stories, Rode.
03:55Demeter, bore him the nymph, Despina, and the talking horse, Arian.
04:01Amimoni, bore him Norpleus, and Aethra, bore him the hero, Theseus.
04:07His other children were, the cyclops, Polyphemus, the sea creature, Charybdis, the winged horse, Pegasus, and the hunter, Orion.
04:17Yet these were not all of them.
04:20Whichever woman the sea god could not win, with his charm and gentleness, he did it with force and craftiness.
04:27An example, was Medusa, who he took by force, at the temple of Athena.
04:32Medusa was turned into a monster afterward, for surrendering to being defiled.
04:39単釣ed by surprise, Aidian.
04:41Now, the vehicle to ipthe wild start.
04:56As an an example, an afternoon and captain.
