The Emperor Caligula once decided to go to war with the Roman God of the sea, Poseidon, and ordered his soldiers to throw their spears into the water at random. (14) Comments invisible pink unicorn:
Poseidon is the Greek god of the sea, horses and earthquakes. He rules the sea and controls how it behaves, whipping up storms when he is angry or upset, and creating horses fâ¦rom the seafoam when he is in a lighter mood. He also creates earthquakes when he is angry and is sometimes known as the Earth Shaker. Poseidon was born as a god during the 4th age, the age of the Titans. He is one of six children born to Kronos and Rhea, who were both Titans. It was prophesied that Kronos would be overthrown by his sons so, to prevent this from happening, Kronos ate all of his children by Rhea as soon as they were born.
