Myth Matters
Poseidon and the Best Laid Plans
“I sing of the great god Poseidon, mover of the earth and fruitless sea […] god of the deep, shaker of the earth […] tamer of horses and savior of ships […]” Homeric Hymn to Poseidon
After the Olympians defeated the old gods, Zeus and his brothers, Hades and Poseidon, divided the world into three realms. They drew lots to establish which of them would rule over each.
Poseidon was awarded the ocean.
In this podcast I talk about Poseidon and share some his myths, including his role in Homer’s Odyssey and the contemporary significance of his longstanding competition with the goddess Athena.
