Playmobil History 9523 Greek God Poseidon

Poseidon, the god of the sea, is depicted with a golden wreath and trident, along with fish and seahorses.

Poseidon is one of the Olympian gods and the ruler of the sea. The horse is sacred to Poseidon, earning him the title Hippios. Similar to his brother Zeus, the father of the gods, Poseidon wields lightning as a weapon. When the world was divided into three parts, Zeus received the sky, Hades the underworld, and Poseidon the sea. He fought alongside the goddess Athena for the protection of Attica, a contest which Athena ultimately won, leading to the city being named Athens.

The play set includes Poseidon with his golden trident, wreath, shell, fish, seahorses, and a column with an inscription.
