What modern words come from Poseidon?

Several modern words derive from Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea. The term "poseidon" itself is used in various contexts related to marine themes, such as "Poseidon adventure" in literature and film. Additionally, words like "neptune," which refers to the Roman equivalent of Poseidon, and "oceanography" can be linked to his domain over the sea. The prefix "pola" in some scientific terms also references his influence in marine studies.
