Poseidon (1930)

 

Poseidon is the god of the sea in Greek mythology. Poseidon is mighty figure, seven meters tall, standing naked with steady legs on a rock. In one hand he holds a fish, in the other a shell.

 

Poseidon appears to be part of the ocean to which he belongs. His hair is made of mussels, his hat is a shell, and his face can be described as wild, powerful and a far cry from classically beautiful. In the myths, Poseidon is both temperamental and unpredictable.
