Reading notes
- The Epigrams of Homer §6 Poseidon
God of the sea and earthquakes; this epigram is a sailor's prayer to him for a safe voyage and, pointedly, for vengeance on a faithless host.
- The Homeric Hymns §5.1 Poseidon
God of the sea and earthquakes, brother of Zeus and Hades. He is one of Hestia's rejected suitors (Hymn 5) and owns the sacred grove at Onchestus (Hymns 3, 4); Hymn 22 hymns him directly as tamer of horses and saviour of ships.
- The Iliad §1.380 Poseidon
God of the sea and earthquakes, Zeus's brother; he favors the Achaeans (in part from old resentment at being cheated of wages by Troy's founder Laomedon) and fights on their side in the gods' battle of Book 20-21.
- The Odyssey §1.1 Poseidon
God of the sea, who persecutes Odysseus for blinding his son Polyphemus the Cyclops and delays his homecoming throughout the poem.
