Poseidon (Neptune), son of Cronus (Saturn), brother of Zeus (Jupiter) and Hades (Pluto), chose to live in the sea. He ran through it mounted on white horses and shaking his mighty trident. He married the Nereid Amphitrite. He had children by other women, including: Danaide Amimone; goddess Ceres and the Gorgon Medusa who gave him Pegasus.
