Poseidon – Trident, Horse, and Sea Creatures

Poseidon, god of the sea, earthquakes, and horses, is most often portrayed with his mighty trident, a three-pronged spear capable of stirring storms, calming waters, or shaking the earth itself. The horse, especially the divine steed Pegasus, reflects his role as a creator of animals and his mastery over land and sea alike. Sea creatures such as dolphins and fish were sacred to him, symbolizing life beneath the waves and Poseidon's command over marine realms. His symbols convey his immense, sometimes unpredictable power, and his influence over both the beauty and fury of nature.
