Transmitting the cultural basis of humanity to a child is easy if we adapt Greek mythology for them. We are counting the Greek myths in the form of short legends for children. We dive into the bottom of the sea to meet this bad-tempered god who is Poseidon.

The underwater kingdom of the sea god Poseidon

There was once a Greek god named Poseidon who reigned over all the seas. Poseidon was a diving god and he preferred a thousand times to be at the bottom of the sea with his sea creatures, with his octopuses, his whales, his dolphins and his colorful fish before on the surface. There was a time when he came out more often from the bottom of the sea, but he has long since refused to leave his underwater palace.

One day he came to the surface to walk along the beach for a while and saw a family enjoying a spring picnic in the sand. Poseidon was happy to see the family having a good time, the bad came later. When the family finished their picnic, they left all the remains on the beach, they did not pick up the empty soda bottles and they left a lot of plastic on the sand. Then Poseidon got angry. He got very angry.

He got on his seahorse and returned to his underwater palace. There he took his trident and began to stir the waters, as if he were stirring a bowl of soup. Then the sea raged, the waves were gigantic and a great storm began. That made all the people who were enjoying their beach day have to run away and go home because the sea and the beach had become dangerous places.

And it is that Poseidón does not like anything that humans harm their sea creatures or dirty their beaches. That's why he never leaves his underwater palace, so if someone wants to talk to the god of the seas he has to dive to find him. And sometimes he shows his discontent with the people stirring the waters with his trident. These are the days when it is best not to go near the beach.
