Movies

[edit]

I would hazard movies about a capsized ocean liner, regardless of its name, aren't closely related enough to the Greek god to merit mention here. Spartan198 (talk) 15:19, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Etymology

[edit]

It seems impossible that the word dawon:water is Doric. Nilsson asserts that the name "Poseidan" was adopted by the Dorians from the older population. The word derives probably from a IE ROOT.It would be useful to include the exact sentence from the book of Janda Jestmoon(talk) 11:28, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nurturer of plants

[edit]

No mention yet of Poseidon's role as nurturer of plants and for agricultural fertility, closely connected with Demeter. Also a connection with the much older ritual of salting the earth from Mesopotamia, referred to by Homer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:9e8:186:2900:acb7:b581:3718:5c22 (talk)
