His most important weapon is a three-pronged pitchfork, and when he hits the ground with this pitchfork, earthquakes occur. Poseidon represents ambition and power. Poseidon's ambition caused the destruction of Atlantis. The reason for this is the desire to build the most perfect city in the world. He is in a war to the death with Gorgos, the god of darkness and torture. Gorgos, the god of darkness and torture, is jealous of Zeus. That's why, as he created turmoil and chaos in Olympus, his powers were imprisoned in a stone and released under one condition. This condition is to grant him a wish whenever he is about to kill someone. However, he examines these wishes very carefully and fulfills them in a way that is to the detriment of the person who wishes them. Poseidon was revered in Peloponnesos and Boeotia before the migration of the Dorians. He would shake the seas, shake the lands, and cause earthquakes with his trident. For this reason, Poseidon is also called Enosikhthon and Gaeiokhos (the one who walks under the ground). He was also the god of horses; In the oldest legends, he is often depicted in the form of a horse. Pegasus is the child of Poseidon and Medusa, whom he had by force. Among the chariot races held in honor of Poseidon, the Isthmia races held in Corinth are the most famous. Traces of the race between Poseidon and Athena are seen in the Erechteion in Athens; When Poseidon struck him with his three-pronged staff, a huge crack opened in the rock. He was defeated by Athena, the daughter of Zeus, in Athens.
