He has many siblings but the "main" ones are Zeus, Lord of the Sky and Hades, God of the Underworld. Poseidon is my favourite for many reasons but the main one I think is his personality. He can be gentle and understanding at one point and "shaking the Earth" at another. He is really cool. His weapon of choice is a trident and he apparently has a really amazing underwater palace. (Not that I've ever been there!!) When I imagine Poseidon's underwater castle, I see a HUGE, coral, silver, mother of pearl and other beautiful things making it up. It has many large rooms, but my favourite is the throne room. It has a BEAUTIFUL coral and mother of pearl throne set into an all natural reef while the floor is see through and you can see the reef extending below the castle to the Ocean floor. Oh yeah and the castle floats just above the Ocean floor with a reef under it swirling in magical colours and beautiful fish that have never been discovered. There is always music playing in the castle and amazing creatures to spend time with. So that is how I imagine Poseidon's castle.
I always thought that it would be REALLY cool to be one of Poseidon's children. (If he were real.) But that would be "illegal" for him. You see, Poseidon and his brothers, Zeus and Hades, swore an oath on the River Styx to never again sire children. This was because their previous children were too powerful and were causing problems. So to solve this, the brothers just decided to stop having children. I think it was effective but dramatic. Gods, "Alright brothers. Our children are problems. Let's stop siring children. Swear you will. Good, now that, that matter has been taken care of, let's polish our weapons!!" But then again anywhere you read Greek myths, you will notice that the Gods tend to be pretty dramatic.
Another reason Poseidon is my favourite god is because he seems the most "normal" of the gods. Usually he doesn't act all high and mighty like the others. Instead, he seems more human like in personality. So there you have it. All the reasons why Poseidon is my favourite Greek god.
Life lesson: No one is perfect, not even gods.
