Poseidon 53 cm

This bonded bronze statue portrays Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea, wielding a trident, a symbol of his control over oceans and storms. Known for his volatile temperament, Poseidon is associated with cities like Corinth, Atlantis, and Pylos. He played a key role in myths such as the contest with Athena for Athens and the Iliad, where he sided against Troy. His children include the hero Theseus and the Cyclops Polyphemus. Poseidon’s figure embodies the power and unpredictability of the sea, and his symbols—trident, horses, and dolphins—reflect his connection to both the ocean and earthquakes. Artefacts in places like Athens’ Acropolis Museum reflect his enduring influence, symbolizing the sea’s power and unpredictability.
