About this audiobook
This volume details the dominion and temperament of Poseidon, the Olympian brother who rules the expansive realm of the sea, the internal convulsions of the earth, and the tempestuous forces of nature. The text begins by establishing his origins and his participation in the Titanomachy, focusing on the symbolic significance of the trident as both an instrument of creation and an engine of destruction.
The analysis explores his role in shaping the geography of the Hellenic world, from the creation of islands and harbors to his destructive power manifested in earthquakes and tidal waves. A central focus is the tension between his aquatic authority and his terrestrial claims, particularly in contests for cities like Athens, which illustrate the cultural struggle between the forces of the wild, uncontainable ocean and the stability of civilized life.
