How would you describe Poseidon?
Poseidon is the brother of Zeus. Zeus is the god of the sky and the king of all gods. Poseidon is the god of the water and earthquakes, he is a very powerful god. He and eleven other gods are the twelve main gods even though there are many other gods.
Since Poseidon is a god from Ancient Greek, there are no records or stories of what Poseidon fears, and most people do not believe in Greek gods anymore. However, since he is immortal, my guess would be being tortured and placed in Tartarus.
What was Poseidon the goddess of?
Poseidon was best-known as the Greek god of the sea. He was also the god of earthquakes and the god of horses. So, if you are asking his domain with respect to where he lived, that would be in the ocean or on the ocean floor, although the primary gods also had residences on Olympus. If you are asking his domain with respect to what he ruled over as a god, that would be the sea, earthquakes, and horses.

Like all of the Greek gods, Poseidon needs to consume nectar and ambrosia to maintain his immortality. Like any male, he also needs release of sexual tension.
(He also needs to make sure his father never escapes Tartarus)
In Greek mythology when Athena is the daughter of Zeus, Poseidon being the brother of Zeus, is her uncle. However, myths exist which make Poseidon the grandfather of Athena when she is the daughter of his son Triton, or Poseidon is the father of Athena when her mother is Tritonis or Polyphe.
Proteus was a sea god, a son of Poseidon.
There is no Greek sea god called Protean.
Why was poseidon's mood the reason of violence?
Poseidon's mood was often associated with the unpredictable and tumultuous nature of the sea, which he ruled as the god of water and storms in Greek mythology. When angered, he could unleash violent storms, earthquakes, and shipwrecks, reflecting his temperamental disposition. His mood swings could lead to chaos and destruction, symbolizing the destructive potential of nature when disrespected or provoked. Thus, his emotional state directly influenced the violence and turmoil experienced by mortals who relied on the sea.
