  • Many heroes from Greek mythology have descended into the underworld, either to question the shades or trying to free them. Although Hades does not allow his subjects to leave his domain, on several occasions he has granted permission, such as when Orpheus requested the return of his beloved Eurydice.

  • Poseidon and Dragon King

  • Like his brother Zeus, Poseidon, Lord of the Sea, has many names Earthshaker , Rain-God, Cloud-Gatherer, and Poseidon of the Thunderbolt, to name just a few. Poseidon was powerful, decisiveadj. , competitive, and dignified. The common symbols of Poseidon include tridents(n.), horses(stallions), springs and dolphins, each involving an interesting story. Poseidon's trident(n.) is now the symbol of sea power and the mark of many maritime adj.universities. People use trident(n.) to name certain ships, too. Poseidon's common image is as a beardedadj. middle-aged man, sometimes driving a chariotn.drawn by sea horses, and sometimes sitting on a spring with a trident in hand. He is often accompanied by his wife, Amphitrite, the Goddess of the Sea, and their son, Triton, a mermann. blowing(v.) a conchn. shell to calm or raise the waves.

  • Also like his brother, Poseidon was famous for his many love conquests. Once he pursued Athena, but was rebuffed. Athena's rejection threw Poseidon in the willing arms of the hauntinglyadv. beautiful Medusa. They stayed overnight in the temple of Athena. Athena, furiousadj. over this insultn., turned Medusa into an ugly monster with writhing(adj.)snakes in place of her hair. And Medusa's face could turn anyone into stone if he/she looked at it directly. But she was later killed by the hero Perseus.

  • For chasing Demeter, the Goddess of crop , Poseidon changed himself into a stallionn.. They two had a little horse Arion as their son, who understand plainly human speech and always won in horse race. Poseidon eventually did manage to fall in love with a goddess who loved him too . The goddesss name is Amphitrite .

  • Poseidon was also a vengeful god. He once made reprisals() with king of Troygot even with Odysseus ,revenged King Minos and made his wife fell love with a bull and so on. What's more Poseidon is also a faithful god who always gave his word and kept with it.

  • Now I will talk about Dragon King in China. Chinese Dragon King is based on two reasons. One is the Indian Buddhisms incoming ,the other is that our Chinese respect dragons and kings. Both ancient Indians and Chinese thought the falling rain is because of Dragon kings Who got the water from the sea in the sky and then sprinkled (v.)to Human.

  • Dragon kings common image is a old man with Dragon face ,which is solemnly and kindly. According to Buddhism books ,there is more than one Dragon Kings. But we usually think there are four --four seas Dragon Kings.They are masters in the sea world, and also master the precipitation (n.) on the ground.

  • Both of western Poseidon and eastern Dragon King are the master god of seas and precipitation ,and they all live in deep sea palace in people's thought. But in the same time their differences are clear . Poseidon's individualities are rich and likes a human ,but Dragon King is kindly to help people who do good deeds and punish bad guys, his characters approaching perfectly ,like a god more than a human being.
