The Myths
Earthshaker and stormbringer, Poseidon contested Athens with Athena, raised the walls of Troy, and pursued a decade-long grudge against Odysseus. His moods are the sea's moods.
Symbols & Domains
The trident, the horse, and the bull. Poseidon rules the sea, earthquakes, and horses — sailors and riders both pray to him before setting out.
Famous Children
Theseus, the hunter Orion, and the winged horse Pegasus by some tellings. His children run deep and restless, strongest near water.

Questions about Cabin 3
What number is the Poseidon cabin at Camp Half-Blood?
Poseidon keeps Cabin 3. Cabins one to twelve belong to the Olympians in council order, and thirteen to twenty to the minor gods, so Poseidon sits among the Olympians.
What is Poseidon the god of?
God of the sea, storms, and horses. Poseidon is also one of the Big Three — the brothers who divided the sky, the sea and the Underworld between them, and whose children are rare and unusually powerful.
How rare is it to be claimed by Poseidon?
Rare. Across the claiming trial, Poseidon comes up for roughly one camper in 24 when the questions are answered at random. Real answers are not random, so treat that as the shape of the trial rather than a prediction.
