Poseidon is the god of the sea, storms, and, as "Earth-Shaker," of earthquakes in Greek mythology. Poseidon was a son of Cronus and Rhea. In most accounts he is swallowed by Cronus at birth but later saved with his other brothers and sisters, by Zeus.
In the Series[]
Poseidon is the God of the Sea and one of Cronus's six children. He is armed with a giant trident that can be used by others to control water, though he also seems to be able to exert some control without it, such as when creating water tunnels.
He is depicted as a giant merman with a long sea-green beard, fins for ears and on his arms and wearing a crown made of shells. He was the father of Theseus, and Theresa is therefore also descended from him. He lives in an underwater palace beneath the sea. During the Titanomachy, he had legs in lieu of a fish's tail.
In Get Kraken, Cronus captures him and chains him to the sands of a desert in order to prevent the sea god from stopping the Kraken. He is rescued by Theresa while the rest of the heroes trap the Kraken underwater again. He appears in Time After Time, when the heroes are sent to the past in order to ensure Zeus and the Olympians defeat kronus in the Titanomachy. Poseidon returns in season two, when kronus strikes a deal with Poseidon's enemies, the Telkhines, to secure Theresa's pendant
