The lord of the Sea; one of the six original Olympians; one of the three sons of Kronos (Cronos) and Rheia (Rhea); often referred to as The Earth-Shaker.
His brothers and sisters are: Zeus, Hades, Hera, Histia (Hestia) and Demeter; when the Olympians divided creation into dominions, Poseidon became lord of the Sea, Hades became lord of the Underworld and Zeus became the supreme ruler with Heaven and Earth as his province.
For more detailed information on Poseidon I suggest that you consult the Immortals section of this site.
