Pósis dá (Gaiēochos) > Poseidōn
Meaning:*
The god of the sea, rivers, floods, droughts, earthquakes, and horses’ creator is known as the “Earth Shaker.” He is a son of Cronus and Rhea and brother to Zeus and Hades. In classical artwork, he was depicted as a mature man of sturdy build with a dark beard and a trident. The horse and the dolphin are sacred to him. The origins of the name “Poseidon” are unclear. One theory breaks it down into two elements: “Pósis (Πόσις)” (husband, lord) plus “dá (δᾶ)” (earth), meaning “the lord of the earth,” considering his common epithet Gaiēochos (Γαιήοχος), meaning “Earth-shaker.” St. Possidonio (Thebes, 4th-century and 5th-century) was a Byzantine saint and bishop.
