In Greek mythology, Poseidon, a brother of Zeus {see planet  (5731)}, was lord of the sea and of earthquakes (since the earth is shaken by waves beating on the shore). He ruled all that lived in the sea and gathered clouds and raised storms. Poseidon was the constant enemy of Troy during the Trojan War. (M 17656) _ _.
