Both Uses of
Poseidon
in
The Odyssey, by Homer - (translated by: Butler)
- But when now the year had come in the courses of the seasons, wherein the gods had ordained that he should return home to Ithaca, not even there was he quit of labours, not even among his own; but all the gods had pity on him save Poseidon, who raged continually against godlike Odysseus, till he came to his own country.†
Book Pref.Poseidon = Greek mythology: the god of the sea (and earthquakes)
- Howbeit Poseidon had now departed for the distant Ethiopians, the Ethiopians that are sundered in twain, the uttermost of men, abiding some where Hyperion sinks and some where he rises.†
