Poseidon’s lagoon
Son of Cronus and Rhea, brother of Zeus and Hades, Poseidon is specially known for being the god of raging seas and oceans. When the three brothers shared the world, he received all the fresh and salt waters.
Poseidon’s major characteristic is his trident. The dolphin, a precious animal to all the divinities of the sea or protectors of sailors, is also one of his constant characteristics.
HIS creatures
The Nereids are sea nymphs. They are 50 and often accompany Poseidon. They are represented as very beautiful girls with hair ornate with pearls, riding dolphins or hippocampus. They are usually represented like the mermaid from the Norse mythology: half-woman, half-fish.
Ceto is a horrible female sea monster who looks like a whale with shark, ray and dragon characteristics. She was able to choose to which of these four creatures she wanted to look like or took the appearance of the four simultaneously. This “sea-monster” is sent by Poseidon to fight against Perseus who wants to save Andromeda.
The hippocampus is a fantastic creature having a head and neck suggestive of a horse, and the tail of a fish, a snake or a sea monster. Generally, they have a long tail covered with green scales and fish fins.
This terrifying creature was living in the water and the marsh. It is described as a monster who possesses many heads, including an immortal one. For every head chopped off, the Hydra would regrow one or multiple heads, and its poisonous breath is deadly even when the monster was sleeps.
