| | HELLENIC COSMOGONY-POSEIDON-PREHISTORIC HELLENES AND THE SEA (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) |
 | | Poseidon was the Lord of the seas, the son of Cronus and Rhea. |
 | | Moreover, Poseidon's quarrels with other Olympian gods (Poseidon-Athena, Poseidon-Hera) take place in regions which are in or near seismic zones even today or were such in the past. |
 | | Apart from Poseidon there is a plethora of other sea-deities: Oceanus, Pontus, Thalassa (Sea) or Tethys, Forkys, Thaumas, Nereus, Nereides, Oceanides, Triton, Proteus, Glaucus etc. This plethora of sea-gods and goddesses indicates how much associated Prehistoric Hellenes were with Water which constituted one of the three fundamental forms of the Universe. |
