Images of Poseidon
• This image is from 399 AD
• I chose this picture of a
statue because I think it
shows his trident and his
dark beard. Poseidon is
known for this dark beard
and his sturdy build. I think
he is sitting on a stone
looking out at the sea
admiring it.
Modern Art of Poseidon
• This modern picture of
Poseidon shows him as a
merman. He is
controlling the water
with his powers and he
has his trident with him.
I like this picture
because it shows how
powerful he is and how
angry he looks.
