Poseidon

In the Hindoo legend we find the fish-god, who represents Poseidon, father of Atlantis, helping Manu over "the Mountain of the North." In the Chaldean legend Khasisatra's vessel is stopped by "the Mountain of Nizir" until the sea goes down.

"Now, the relations of their governments to one another were regulated by the injunctions of Poseidon, as the law had handed them down.

These were inscribed by the first then on a column of orichalcum, which was situated in the middle of the island, at the Temple of Poseidon, whither the people were gathered together.

As we have seen, Poseidon, the founder of the civilization of Atlantis, is identical with Neptune, who is always represented riding a dolphin, bearing a trident, or three-pronged symbol, in his hand, emblematical probably of the triple kingdom.

tell us that in their time there were seven islands consecrated, to Proserpine, and three others of immense extent, of which the first was consecrated to Pluto, the second to Ammon, and the third to Neptune.

Atlantis was also consecrated to Neptune."' (See Humboldt's "Histoire de la Géographie du Nouveau Continent," vol.

The Atlantean civilization had deep connections to the ocean and believed in gods like Poseidon, with water being a central element of their worship and energy systems.

Zeus, seeing their corruption, gave Atlantis to Poseidon, and the city was eventually swallowed by the sea.

The men of Neptune!" cried he loud, at last.

March the Neptune foemen at advance on leaving ships, well guarded at their anchorage.

As he spake a rush of icy air encircled, a fall of seeming forms, and where the men of Mars stood red enrobed or Neptune's blue, or white like lily leaf, stood shadows—one for every warring man.

They charged impartially upon Mars and Neptune—seemed to smite with shortened axes to the left and right and fought in line of single, compact hordes; each line a wall of bristling marble seemed, with not one break.

Next Neptune's fuller charge, impotent, broke not the ranks.

Helpless fell the hand that held the spear, and to their air boats rushed old Neptune's sons while Mars’ stood helpless, dumb!

Poseidon: Greek god who received Atlantis as his allotment, fathered its kings with a mortal woman, Kleito (Cleito).

Kleito (Cleito): Mortal woman, daughter of Euenor (Evenor) and Leukippe (Leucippe), mother of Atlantis’ kings by Poseidon.

Atlas: Eldest son of Poseidon and Kleito, first king of Atlantis, namesake of the island and the Atlantic Ocean.

Ampheres, Euaimon (Euaemon), Mneseus, Autokhthon (Autochthon), Elasippos (Elasippus), Mestor, Azaes, Diaprepes: Other sons of Poseidon and Kleito, rulers of Atlantis’ ten regions.

Creation of Atlantis: The gods divided the earth; Poseidon took Atlantis, marrying Kleito and fathering ten sons (five twin pairs).

Division of Atlantis: Poseidon divided Atlantis into ten regions, with Atlas as king over the central, richest part.

.Concerning the allotments of the Gods, that they portioned out the whole earth, here into larger allotments and there into smaller, and provided for themselves shrines and sacrifices, even so Poseidon took for his allotment the island of Atlantis and settled therein the children whom he had begotten of a mortal woman in a region of the island of the following description.

And when this damsel was now come to marriageable age, her mother died and also her father; and Poseidon, being smitten with desire for her, wedded her; and to make the hill whereon she dwelt impregnable he broke it off all round about; and he made circular belts of sea and land enclosing one another alternately, some greater, some smaller, two being of land and three of sea, which he carved as it were out of the midst of the island; and these belts were at even distances on all sides, so as to be impassable for man; for at that time neither ships nor sailing were as yet in existence.

And Poseidon himself set in order with ease, as a god would, the central island, bringing up from beneath the earth two springs of waters, the one flowing warm from its source, the other cold, and producing out of the earth all kinds of food in plenty.

And they had built the palace at the very beginning where the settlement was first made by their God [Poseidon] and their ancestors; and as each king received it from his predecessor, he added to its adornment and did all he could to surpass the king before him, until finally they made of it an abode amazing to behold for the magnitude and beauty of its workmanship.

In the center there stood a temple sacred to Kleito (Cleito) and Poseidon, which was reserved as holy ground, and encircled with a wall of gold; this being the very spot where at the beginning they had generated and brought to birth the family of the ten royal lines.

Thither also they brought year by year from all the ten allotments their seasonable offerings to do sacrifice to each of those princes.And the temple of Poseidon himself was a stade in length, three plethra in breadth, and of a height which appeared symmetrical therewith; and there was something of the barbaric in its appearance.

And they placed therein golden statues, one being that of the God [Poseidon] standing on a chariot and driving six winged steeds, his own figure so tall as to touch the ridge of the roof, and round about him a hundred Nereides on dolphins (for that was the number of them as men then believed); and it contained also many other images, the votive offerings of private men.

And the outflowing water they conducted to the sacred grove of Poseidon, which contained trees of all kinds that were of marvellous beauty and height because of the richness of the soil; and by means of channels they led the water to the outer circles over against the bridges.

But their authority over one another and their mutual relations were governed by the precepts of Poseidon, as handed down to them by the law and by the records inscribed by the first princes on a pillar of orikhalkon, which was placed within the temple of Poseidon in the center of the island; and thither they assembled every fifth year, and then alternately every sixth year--giving equal honor to both the even and the odd--and when thus assembled they took counsel about public affairs and inquired if any had in any way transgressed and gave judgement.

In the sacred precincts of Poseidon there were bulls at large; and the ten princes, being alone by themselves, after praying to the God that they might capture a victim well-pleasing unto him, hunted after the bulls with staves and nooses but with no weapon of iron; and whatsoever bull they captured they led up to the pillar and cut its throat over the top of the pillar, raining down blood on the inscription.

If we find among the Frisians a belief in a Godhead [xx]and ideas of religion entirely different from the Mythology of other nations, we are the more surprised to find in some points the closest connection with the Greek and Roman Mythology, and even with the origin of two deities of the highest rank, Min-erva and Neptune.

The other, Neptune, called by the Etrurians Nethunus, the God of the Mediterranean Sea, appears here to have been, when living, a Friesland Viking, or sea-king, whose home was Alderga (Ouddorp, not far from Alkmaar).

Poseidon: the sea god whose Roman form, Neptune, Ottema traces to the Frisian sea-king Neef Teunis.

According to MacGillivray, Atlantis was a city founded by Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea, and was designed with concentric rings of water and land.

MacGillivray shares a unique interpretation of the myth, suggesting that the accounts of Poseidon fathering twin sons could point to genetic engineering.

He explains that the city of Atlantis, described as having been built around a mountain, included a temple of Poseidon and a series of moats wide enough to accommodate large warships.

These creatures were said to have raised Poseidon and used advanced metallurgy to create his trident.

A generational shift is underway with Pluto, Neptune, and Uranus all transitioning into new signs in 2025.

With Uranus moving into mutable Gemini, and Neptune moving into fiery Aries, the planet faces a period of intensified instability and transformation.

The lights outside the windows were started, our speed modified to suit the element, and then we all gathered in the salon by the windows, darkness within and the waters lit without, enabling us to see curious tribes of Neptune which crowded about the strange illumination in their midst.

Critias also discusses the layout of Atlantis, describing its concentric rings of water and land, and the grand temple of Poseidon at its center.

Athens was under the protection of Athena, while Atlantis was under the domain of Poseidon.

Meanwhile, Atlantis was under the rule of Poseidon.

The men of Atlantis, who were now ruled by Poseidon, were among these people.

The most important temple was dedicated to Poseidon and Cleito, and it was surrounded by a golden enclosure.

The temple was richly decorated with precious metals, and its interior featured a colossal statue of Poseidon driving six winged horses.

113a-113bThe Atlantean kings were descended from Poseidon and Cleito, who had five pairs of twin sons.

Poseidon divided the island of Atlantis into ten parts, giving each of his sons a portion to rule.

These kings governed according to the laws set down by Poseidon, and they remained faithful to their divine heritage for many generations.

The city was full of magnificent buildings, with the most important being the temple of Poseidon.

This temple was richly decorated with gold and silver, and it housed a colossal statue of Poseidon driving six winged horses.

The kings of Atlantis would meet regularly in the temple of Poseidon to discuss matters of state and to renew their oaths of loyalty to each other.

They would sacrifice bulls to Poseidon, and their rituals were conducted with great solemnity.

115e-116cThe kings ruled their territories justly, according to the laws set down by Poseidon.

For example Poseidon was allotted Atlantis, while Athena and Hephaestus were given Athens.

But later in the dialogue, the Atlanteans’ rulers (descendants of Poseidon) became corrupt:

Poseidon received Atlantis, but over time his people became greedy, unjust, and oppressive, forgetting their divine origin.

From Pontos came Sidon, who first discovered how to sing a song because of her superlative voice, and Poseidon.

In addition, Kronos gave the city Byblos to the goddess Baaltis who is also Dione, and the city Beirut to Poseidon and to the Kabeiri, the Hunters and the Fishers, who made the relics of Pontos an object of worship in Beirut.

Poseidon and the Gods' Movements

In Book 13 of the Iliad, Poseidon is depicted rallying the Greeks, disguised as Calchas.

They forged Zeus’ thunderbolts, Poseidon’s trident, and Hades’ helmet of invisibility.

Cronus, the leader of the Titans and father of Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon, ruled from Mount Othrys before being overthrown by his sons.

According to the myth, the giant Athos, in an attempt to overthrow the gods, hurled a massive rock at Poseidon, the god of the sea.

The Aloadae are Otus and Ephialtes, Poseidon’s oversized sons.

Their divine father is Poseidon.

After her I saw Iphimedeia wife of Aloeus who boasted the embrace of Poseidon.

Poseidon met her and begat two sons, Otus and Ephialtes, who are called the Aloads.

Meaning: Poseidon’s sons are giants who treat Thessalian peaks as a ladder so they can attack the gods.

The story is told in Greek, with Greek peaks, Greek gods, and Poseidon as father.

I also put it next to Poseidon on deities associated with fish, water, and the sea.

I put Poseidon-blood giants next to the Nephilim and Poseidon’s sea-god fatherhood on deities associated with fish, water, and the sea.

Poseidon as father of oversized rulers rhymes with Poseidon’s Atlantis line.

Who were the Aloadae?Otus and Ephialtes, sons of Poseidon and Iphimedeia.

Deities associated with fish, water, and the sea: Poseidon as Aloadae father / sea-god bridge.

In ancient times, Mount Pelion was considered a sacred place, associated with the worship of various gods, particularly Zeus, Poseidon, and the nymphs.

Despite living near a river, they did not give proper veneration to Poseidon, the god of the sea, earthquakes, and water.

Whether out of negligence or an intentional preference for other deities, the people of Erymanthos failed to offer sacrifices or prayers to Poseidon, overlooking his dominion over all waters, including rivers and lakes.

Poseidon, who was known for his volatile temper and his demand for respect from mortals, took great offense at this slight.

In his anger, Poseidon decided to punish the people of Erymanthos.

The people of Erymanthos, who had not shown the proper reverence to Poseidon, were forced to flee their homes or perish in the flood.

The once-thriving region was reduced to a watery wasteland, a stark reminder of the power of Poseidon and the consequences of neglecting the gods.

Poseidon, the god of the sea, intervened by striking the mountain with his trident, causing it to stop its ascent and remain at its current height.

The twelve Olympians included Zeus (king of the gods), Hera (queen of the gods), Poseidon (god of the sea), Demeter (goddess of the harvest), Athena (goddess of wisdom and war), Apollo (god of the sun and arts), Artemis (goddess of the hunt), Ares (god of war), Aphrodite (goddess of love and beauty), Hephaestus (god of fire and metalworking), Hermes (messenger of the gods), and Hestia (goddess of the hearth).

Poseidon, Atlas, and the ten kings feed 12 Kings of Atlantis.

High-signal names on this page include Oannes, Dagon (popular fish reception), Atargatis, Matsya, Poseidon, Neptune, Amphitrite, Triton, Nammu, and Nun.

In Plato’s Critias, Poseidon receives Atlantis, weds Cleito, and fathers five pairs of twin sons.

Poseidon and Atlas feed 12 Kings of Atlantis.

12 Kings of Atlantis: Poseidon’s sons, Atlas, and the ten-kings spine.

Zeus and his siblings (Hestia, Hera, Demeter, Poseidon, and Hades) became the primary deities of the new pantheon, known as the Olympians.

Each king governed one of the ten regions of Atlantis, and they were said to be descendants of Poseidon, the god of the sea, and Cleito.

In gratitude, they forged powerful weapons for him and his allies—the thunderbolt for Zeus, a trident for Poseidon, and a helmet of invisibility for Hades.

With the help of Metis, Zeus gave Cronus an emetic potion, causing him to vomit up his swallowed children: Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, and Poseidon.

The Cyclopes provided Zeus with his thunderbolt, Poseidon with his trident, and Hades with his helmet of invisibility, powerful weapons that would play crucial roles in the battle.

Cronus (Kronos): The youngest of the Titans, leader of the first generation of Titans, and father of the first generation of Olympians (Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Hestia, Demeter, and Hades).

Plato describes in "Critias" that the Atlanteans performed bull sacrifices to honor Poseidon.

The kings met every fifth and sixth year in the temple of Poseidon.

They prayed to Poseidon for a suitable victim.

While doing this, they swore an oath: they would judge fairly according to the laws on the pillar, punish anyone who had broken them, and never in the future command or obey anything that went against the laws of Poseidon.

And when they were gathered together they consulted about their common interests, and enquired if any one had transgressed in anything and passed judgment and before they passed judgment they gave their pledges to one another on this wise: There were bulls who had the range of the temple of Poseidon; and the ten kings, being left alone in the temple, after they had offered prayers to the god that they might capture the victim which was acceptable to him, hunted the bulls, without weapons but with staves and nooses; and the bull which they caught they led up to the pillar and cut its throat over the top of it so that the blood fell upon the sacred inscription.

Then they drew from the bowl in golden cups and pouring a libation on the fire, they swore that they would judge according to the laws on the pillar, and would punish him who in any point had already transgressed them, and that for the future they would not, if they could help, offend against the writing on the pillar, and would neither command others, nor obey any ruler who commanded them, to act otherwise than according to the laws of their father Poseidon.

On one side of the altar stood a gigantic, hairy, frightful form of Poseidon as a bull.

These kings were descendants of Poseidon, who was revered as the patron deity of Atlantis.

Sacred Oath: The kings would gather in the Temple of Poseidon, a grand and richly adorned structure that housed a golden statue of Poseidon and his chariot.

This act symbolized their unity, their shared commitment to the laws, and their connection to Poseidon.

Their decisions were considered final and binding, reflecting the will of Poseidon and the collective wisdom of the rulers.

The festival emphasized the divine origin of the kings and their special relationship with Poseidon.

The statue of Poseidon, along with various carvings and inscriptions, added to its grandeur.

The kings gather in the Temple of Poseidon to swear their commitment to the laws.
