Poseidon, the ancient Greek god of the sea, earthquakes, and horses, would typically be worshipped by sailors, fishermen, and those who depended on the sea for their livelihoods. Additionally, farmers might honor him for his control over water sources and agricultural fertility. His worship often included rituals, sacrifices, and offerings to seek his favor for safe voyages and bountiful catches. Cities near the coast, like Corinth and Athens, also held festivals in his honor, reflecting his importance in their daily lives and economy.

How did the Romans worship Poseidon?

Well you see, the Romans loved water and were addicted to cleanliness. Therefore they would sacrifice the water to the patriarchs or to the water god, known as Poseidon. Everyday they carried their gold encrusted goblets to the Chickwahee Desert Oasis. And then there, they would raise their hands in praise of Poseidon and dump their offerings into the Oasis. If Poseidon "accepted" their numina (spirits or divinities) then Poseidon would send down a lightning beam from his trident which would kill the second-born child of every family until the moon and sun lined up in a lunar eclipse. Plato predicted this will happen on December 21st, 2012.
