More information about Neptune:
In Greek mythology, Poseidon is one of the main Olympian Gods, the supreme god of water (lakes, rivers, springs) and by extension of the sea (hence the name Pelagaios).
He was considered the general of many secondary deities, but also of amazing sea monsters, tentacle-bearers and fishes, which are even etymologised from the various aspects and actions of the liquid element.
Poseidon’s main symbol – emblem is the trident, which was both a scepter of recognition and a means of enforcing his will.
With this, by spiking the sea or rocks, it caused natural disasters, storms, earthquakes, earthquakes, depressions, volcanic eruptions, etc., but conversely peace, tranquility, solidity and even the emergence of land, or the gushing of waters.
Poseidon, allegedly the son of Cronus and Rhea, had also suffered the tragic fate of his brothers as a newborn, namely his swallowing by his father.
But when his younger brother Zeus, having secretly escaped this fierce fate,
with a trick of their mother and having in the meantime grown up in Crete, they overthrew their father, going on a mutiny.
So he compelled his father, before he hanged him, to examine his brothers.
Then both Neptune and Hades or Pluto came back to light.
After the great and fierce Titan battle that followed, in which Poseidon took part alongside his brother, which resulted in the victory of Zeus against the uncontrollable forces of nature, the three brothers Zeus, Poseidon and Hades constituted the great triad of gods over the dominion of the universal world according to the perception of the time.
