Poseidon would be important to the Greeks because he is the god of the sea and lesser known as the god of earthquakes (Earth-Shaker). He is one of the original 12 born of Gaia to Kronos. He was eaten after his birth as well as 10 of his sisters and brothers by Kronos due to a prophecy claiming a child of Kronos would overthrow him before being regurgitated. During the drawing to choose their realms, Zeus chose the heavens, Poseidon the earth and by extension the oceans, Hades the underworld.

He was important to the Greeks because he helped them explain events of the sea and earth.
