Poseidon was the Greek god of the sea and water, and is referred to in Roman mythology as Neptune, with some slight changes.

Poseidon is one of the big three gods, along with his brothers Zeus and Hades, Poseidon is also prided with creating horses from the foam of the sea.

if this is not entirely accurate the I apologise, but this is from my own knowledge.
