Because the fished a lot

Yeah he was a failry important Greek God. He was immortal... He didn't die. There is no record of Poseidon dying.
Amphitrite is Queen of the Sea, Poseidon's wife.
They would be important to us because they relate the stories that Poseidon played a part in, however the importance of the symbol to the god depends largely upon what it is and why it should have a importance.
Depends on your definition of important. I do know that he is the God of the sea and that he made horses.
Zeus has two brothers: Poseidon and Hades. Poseidon rules the sea, and Hades rules the underworld. The list of offspring is tremendous since fidelity isn't exactly honoured/important/in existence in Geek mythology. Some important ones are: Athena: Goddess of warcraft and knowledge;daughter of Poseidon & Tritonis Despoine: Daughter of Poseidon and Demeter Triton: Son of Poseidon and Amphitrite Orion: (giant), Son of Poseidon and Euryale (though there's some speculation about that) Polphemos (cyclops) Son of Poseidon & Thoosa Pegasos (Flying horse) Son of Poseidon and Medousa
Most important was his son Triton.
The trident was Poseidon's symbol of power.
Poseidon is the brother of Zeus, and all of them( hades Zeus Poseidon, Hera athenea, etc) were kids of rea and cronos titans of the Olympus so all of them would be gods no matter if there are important or not
