A watercolour portrait of Poseidon, Greek god of the sea, earthquakes and horses. The god is rendered in the loose, tonal style of the watercolour — colour running into the page, the beard and trident softened at the edges.
Poseidon was the elder brother of Zeus, one of the three sons of Cronus and Rhea who divided the cosmos between them after the defeat of the Titans — sky for Zeus, sea for Poseidon, the underworld for Hades. His attributes are the trident, the dolphin and the horse (which he either created or tamed, depending on the source). He was the patron deity of sailors and fishermen, worshipped from Corinth to Sounion; he was also, in Homer's Odyssey, the principal antagonist of Odysseus, delaying the hero's voyage home for years in revenge for the blinding of his son, the Cyclops Polyphemus. The Romans identified him with Neptune.
Pair with other figures in this watercolour series: Achilles and Jason.
