In Greek mythology, Poseidon was known as god
of the sea, as well as god of horses and, as "Earth-Shaker," the origin of
earthquakes. There is a cave-dwelling in Illyrian mythology that is linked to
Poseidon by Albanian writers. The name of the sea-god Nethuns in Etruscan was
adopted in Latin for Neptune
in Roman mythology; both were sea gods analogous to Poseidon. Graffiti show
that Poseidon was venerated in Bronze Age Greece, but as he was integrated
into the Olympian gods. Poseidon is the brother of Zeus and Hades and has many
children. There is a Homeric hymn to Poseidon, who was to be the protector of
many Hellenic cities, although he lost.
