Poseidon (Greek: ) was the god of the sea, and, as "Earth-Shaker," of earthquakes in Greek mythology. The name of the sea-god Nethuns in Etruscan was adopted in Latin for Neptune in Roman mythology: both were sea gods analogous to Poseidon. Linear B tablets show that Poseidon was venerated at Pylos and Thebes in pre-Olympian Bronze Age Greece, but he was integrated into the Olympian gods as the brother of Zeus and Hades. Poseidon has many children. There is a Homeric hymn to Poseidon, who was the protector of many Hellenic cities, although he lost the contest for Athens to Athena.

Thanks guys! :D First scenes from the epic battle in which Kratos, the Ghost of Sparta, fights the mighty Poseidon, god of the seas and brother of Zeus. One of my favourite gods but of course, he has to die... Keep your eyes on him! Eh, on Poseidon, NOT Kratos! As you can see in the last few seconds, he doesnt like being stared at.

Since people ask about what happens at the end and why, I will explain it to you: It all began when Kratos first opened Pandoras Box back in God of War I. The Evils locked inside were released. Instead of simply taking over the world again they infected the gods and changed them. This ist he reason why the gods appeared to be more evil in God of War II. Each of them was infected with one of the Evils from Pandoras Box. Zeus was infected with Fear. This Evil drove Zeus into killing Kratos, he was afraid his son would turn against him, just like Zeus himself had turned against Kronos. When the Box was created, Athena feared what could happen i fit was opened ever again. So she summoned Hope and placed it in the box as well. This ist he power Kratos used to kill Ares. But after the gods refused to take /away his nightmares Hope became locked by Kratos guilt and thoughts of failure. And so he wasnt able to use it again. However, nothing of this was aware to ANYONE. Athena thought Kratos absorbed the Evils from Pandoras Box to slay Ares, not knowing that the gods were infected with these âbad powers. That is why she told Kratos to find Pandoras Box in the beginning of God of War III. She wanted Kratos to open the Box and take Hope to defeat Zeus. But since Kratos already took this power, the Box was empty when he opened it after Pandoras sacrifice. After Kratos was attacked by the spirit of Zeus, he learned to forgive himself and forget about his failures and so after all <b>...</b>

7.87 min. | 4.83 user rating		 If you ever watched the amazing movie "Poseidon", you will know the power of water and the weakness of a ship. In an underwater nuclear explosion, it gets WORSE. A 2-kilometer wave of boiling water from the atomic explosion can easily capsize and engulf cruise ships and aircraft carriers. THIS VIDEO shows what would happen if a ship like the "Poseidon" was a victim of a naval nuclear attack. --------------------------------- Operation Hardtack - 1958 Underwater at 7 kilotons
