Presenting an impressive bronze sculpture featuring Poseidon, the revered God of the Sea, storms, and earthquakes in Greek mythology. In Roman mythology, he was known as Neptune, and both deities ruled over the oceans.

Tablets from the pre-Olympian Bronze Age indicate that Poseidon was worshipped in Pylos and Thebes. However, he later became part of the Olympian pantheon as the brother of Zeus and Hades. Poseidon, being an important deity, was worshipped in many Hellenic cities and held a prominent place alongside Athena in Athens. In Corinth and several cities of Magna Graecia, he was revered as the chief god of the city-state. Poseidon was said to have the power to create new islands and provide calm seas under his benevolent form.

However, when he was angry or ignored, he struck the ground with his trident, causing chaotic springs, earthquakes, drowning, and storms. Sailors sought Poseidon's protection, praying for safe journeys and sometimes sacrificing horses as offerings. Historical accounts reveal that even Alexander the Great, before the decisive battle of Issus, performed rituals by the Syrian sea, invoking Poseidon's help by throwing a chariot of four horses into the waves.

In this remarkable sculpture, Poseidon is depicted as a Merman, radiating power as his muscles flex while he wields his mighty trident. Crafted using the esteemed "lost wax method," this sculpture showcases meticulous attention to detail. It features a rich brown patina that enhances its visual appeal and is elegantly mounted on a marble base, providing a solid and refined foundation. This sculpture of Poseidon stands as a testament to the grandeur of ancient mythology and can be a captivating centerpiece for any space.

Whether displayed in a home, office, or art gallery, it evokes a sense of awe and reverence for the power of the sea and the mythical realm. In summary, this extraordinary bronze sculpture immortalizes Poseidon, the revered God of the Sea, storms, and earthquakes. Made with exceptional artistic talent and using the "lost wax method," it captures the essence of this mythical deity. With its brown patina and marble base, this sculpture exudes elegance and serves as a striking tribute to the rich tapestry of ancient Greek mythology.
