You know, is it only me that has a interest in Greek gods' weapons? I personally have an interest in them. So, I'm gonna write about the gods' weapons in series. And the first god that will showcase his/her weapon is Poseidon. I believe you already know the reason. And his weapon is the famous Trident.
First, the background of the Trident. The trident is a three- pointed spear that Poseidon wields. It's said in Percy Jackson that it's made by the telkhines(yeah, the seal-dogs), which is weird, since Wikepedia tells me that the Cyclopes did. Anyways, the trident is really famous, and comes out in many sea-related movies, like <Aquaman>. Plus, it's made of PURE gold, and then was enchanted by Poseidon himself.
Now, the powers of the Trident. It' isn't much. First, the most simple. Wielding and impaling. It's told in many myths that he cut off whole mountains with that. Next, a sea-green beam blast. Well, this comes out in Rick Riordan's <Percy Jackson> series. It blasts mostly everything. It's known to be as strong as thunder created by Zeus. Third, creating earthquakes. Poseidon is also called the Earthshaker. It is told he can create catastrophic earthquakes with one hit on the ground. Lastly, controlling any liquid/the Sea. The Trident can create tremendous tsunamis and waves, and calm or blast the water, like a water jet.
Like this, today, I've talked about Poseidon's trident. Next time, you'll see what comes up.
