Document Summary

a very close r ival to zeus is his older brother poseidon. greeks put an enormous importance to the sea. A lot of their food came from sea (didn"t really grow things in soil) picture of statue of poseidon: very similar in portrayal as zeus but more mature looking and developed (longer beard and older face b/c he"s older). key differences b/t poseidon and zeus: the object he was carrying (he carries t rident three pronged spear and where he hit it on the ground earthquakes occurred. zeus on the other hand carries thunderbolt) poseidon is known as the earth shaker slide 2. when the us wanted to build weapon to shake the earth using nuclear weapon they named it the t rident missile. Slide 3 someone named a ship poseidon and that supposedly angered the god and the ship got destroyed.
