Holy War
The First Holy War was in the mythological age, although calculations and understood the fans located roughly in 2000 BC by the events of the Flood of Noah and the eruption of Santorini is traditionally associated with esl sinking of Atlantis.

The first God who rebelled at the territorial division of the gods was Poseidon who was determined to conquer the world, both sea and land. So he gathered his seven best warriors of the seven seas and Marine General named, gave them scales; sirens or mythical monsters as Krakens were inspired by these scales, not the opposite. Athena Saints defending Earth were overcome, until the goddess gave them armor with which to beat.

Poseidon, angered by his defeat, he gathered his Marine in his temple at the Atlantis, Athena sent eight Saints to destroy the Temple of Poseidon and ended up with Marine General. Marina General rank the entire continent to the deep sea. After this the goddess imprisoned soul of Poseidon at the North Pole, and sending some Warrior for the guard it, those Saints millennia later be known as The Blue Warriors.

War of Attica
At the beginning of our era, around the first century, Poseidon started Holy War Attica against Athena. There is little information on the conflict that took place on the peninsula of Attica in Greece. At the time of the war happened, belonged to Poseidon Cape Sounion and dungeons were used as a prison for war defeated enemies, walls and gates were indestructible and there was no escape, so that all prisoners eventually died by drowning in tide that flooded cells.

The Soul of Poseidon was sealed again in the Athenian amphora, in Atlantis with flakes of his Marinas General.

XIII Century Holy War
Poseidon woke again at about the thirteenth century, and initiated a new Holy War, in which he participated Aquarius Krest in the alternative version The Lost Canvas. There are no records of this fight more than the mention of it in the Aquarius Chapter.

Lost Canvas
This relates the alternate past in which the Sea God woke momentarily influenced by the then leader of the Bluewarrions, Sea Dragon Unity. However, at this time Poseidon had not meant to awaken as the Seal of Athena would not allow it, so had not prepared a body in which reincarnate, so Unity offered him the body of his sister Seraphine to gradually move its divine cosmos of Amphora body, all with the ayduda   of Orichalum. After the confrontation between Sea Dragon and Aquarius Degel, orichalcum was destroyed by Pandora , then the sea god awoke, albeit incomplete power, and attacked all present. Saint of Aquarius had to sacrifice his life to contain the power of the deity and locked himself, Poseidon and the entire city of Atlantis in a Ice Coffin Giant. After these events, the amphora was carried Poseidon Cape Sounion Prison where Kanon would find in the Twentieth Century.

Before Poseidon Saga
The spirit of Poseidon was locked in the Athenian amphora in underwater sanctuary within the Temple of Poseidon. About amphora were the Scale of Poseidon and the 7 Seas General. One day the spirit of Poseidon was released by Kanon.

The spirit of Poseidon fell on his armor and asked who had brought him out of his sleep. Kanon was told that by breaking the seal of Athena, but Poseidon's spirit told him that he would wake up when he saw fit without assistance. Kanon informed the spirit of Poseidon Athena was reincarnated.

The spirit of Poseidon asked his name Kanon, who tricked him saying he was the monster in the seas. Poseidon's spirit told him to continue sitting in the body of Julian Solo until the final moment of waking, and said he should not wake until Julian fulfilled 16 years. Then the spirit of Poseidon disappears and leaves only the body of Julian, who was only three years by then.

In the Manga
After Julian Solo was rejected by Kido Saori who asked marriage Mermaid Thetis brings the underwater sanctuary where he reveals that he is the Emperor Poseidon, god of the seas. A few days later, the world is affected by terrible floods, tidal waves and rain. Then Julian, even with most of the power of God slept in it, sends Siren Sorento to kill the Bronze Saints.

Also Saori who kidnaps a wave made by himself. Poseidon wants to destroy the world by water and Atena is offered as a sacrifice to delay total flooding, being locked in the Great found mainstay behind the temple of Poseidon, which gradually fills with the waters that should fall on the world. Bronze Saints must rescue Athena beating the sea seven generals, each pillar being generally protects a total of seven representing the seven oceans of the world, these are: Sea Horse Baian, Guardian of the North Pacific; Scylla Io , Guardian South Pacific; Kraken Isaac , General of the Arctic Ocean; Lyumnades Caça , Guardian of the Southern Ocean;Chrysaor Krishna , Indian Ocean Guardian, Sea Dragon Kanon , Guardian of the North Atlantic and Siren Sorrento , Atlantic Guardian South. All Holy War was planficada by Kanon, twin brother Gemini Saga who managed to deceive the god.

In the end, the Bronze Saints face a Poseidon asleep, but this is too powerful for the Saints, giving fatal impacts on them without lifting a finger, the Golden Armor of Sagittarius, Aquarius and Libra help Pegasus Seiya, Chygnus Hyoga and Dragon Shiryu respectively. Saints attacks are returned to them by the power of God, until Seiya raises his cosmos and Poseidon manages to hit the Sagittarius Golden Arrow. Poseidon more fully awake, but not enough because the Warriors of Athena have already destroyed the mainstay of his temple and Athena contains the soul of the God of the Sea in an amphora, freeing Julian Solo, who with Sorento, is dedicated to helping those affected by the flood.

The Saga of Hades
Despite being a staunch enemy of Athena and her soul be enclosed in the jar, Poseidon sent the Golden Armor (Sagittarius Seiya, Shiryu Libra, Aquarius for Hyoga, Shun and Virgo to Leo for Ikki) to the Bronze Saints dimensional path through the Champs Elysees to meet Thanatos, in their fight against Hades. Although they are armor were almost immediately destroyed by the god of death. Poseidon reveals that he would have liked to do more for the Saints.

Legend Of Young Crimson
The god Poseidon, is mentioned in the final sketches of the film, as one of the gods who managed to defeat Abel and erase their existence. The gods ( Hermes, Zeus , Apollo and Poseidon) decided to give a new life to Abel to destroy the latter corrupt humanity.

Warriors Of The Final Holy Battle
Poseidon is meager and treated rudely, taking away all the character depth and placing it as a servant of Lucifer who seeks only to do evil and destroy the world. This equates to Poseidon with characters from the other films Eris and Abel as servants of the fallen angel with him in hell. This breaks the logic of the series, for the soul of Poseidon was not in hell, but in the amphora of Athena, also appears in the form of Julian Solo, who was apparently free of the influence of the God of the Sea

Mythology
Poseidon was a son of Cronus and Rhea. In the older version, told by Hesiod in the Theogony, is swallowed by Cronus at birth but then was saved, along with his other brothers, Zeus. However, in other versions of the myth, Poseidon, like his brother Zeus, he avoided the fate of their brothers to be saved by his mother, who hid in a flock of sheep and pretend to have given birth to a foal, which gave Cronus to devour it. According to Tzetzes the nanny curótrofa or Poseidon was Arne, who denied being when Cronus came searching for her. According to Diodorus Siculus, Poseidon was raised by the Telchines in Rhodes, just as Zeus was raised by the Korybantes in Crete.

As a single reference in the Iliad, when the world was divided in three, Zeus received the earth and sky, Hades the underworld and Poseidon the sea. In the Odyssey (v, 398) Poseidon had a home in Egas (Achaia). Athena became the patron goddess of the city of Athens after competing with Poseidon, although it remained a numinous presence on the Acropolis in the form of his replacement, Erechtheus. On the feast of dissolution at the end of the calendar year in Athens, the Esciroforia, the priests of Athena and Poseidon the procession under a canopy to Eleusis. Both agreed that each would make a gift to the Athenians and choose whichever they prefer. Poseidon struck the ground with his trident and a spring sprung, but the water was salty and not very useful, whereas Athena offered an olive tree. The Athenians (or their king, Cecrops) chose the olive tree and along with it Athena as their patron, for the tree brought wood, oil and food. After that, enraged by his loss, Poseidon sent a monstrous flood plain Attic, thus punishing the Athenians. The depression made by Poseidon's trident and filled with sea water was surrounded by the northern entrance to the Erechtheum, remaining open to the sky. "In the cult, Poseidon was identified with Erechtheus," Burkert said. "The myth turns this into a temporal-causal sequence: in his anger at the defeat, Poseidon led his son Eumolpus against Athens and killed Erechtheus." The contest of Athena and Poseidon was the subject of reliefs in the west pediment of the Parthenon The first view I had when the visitor arrived. This myth is considered by Graves and others as a reflection of a clash between the inhabitants during Mycenaean times and newer immigrants. It is interesting to note that Athens at its height was a major maritime power, at one point defeating the Persian fleet at the Battle of Salamis. Poseidon and Apollo, having offended Zeus, were sent to serve King Laomedon. He had them build huge walls around the city and promised to reward them, a promise he then refused to comply. In vengeance, before the Trojan War, Poseidon sent a sea monster to attack Troy (who was later killed by Heracles). His wife was Amphitrite, a nymph and ancient sea goddess, daughter of Nereus and Doris. Poseidon was the father of many heroes, including the famed Theseus. A mortal woman named Tyro was married to Cretheus (with whom he had one son, Aeson) but loved Enipeus, a river god. Pursued Enipeus, who refused her advances. One day, Poseidon, filled with lust for Tyro, disguised as Enipeus and its union with her heroes were born Pelias and Neleus. Poseidon also had an affair with alopecia, his granddaughter through Cercyon, the hero was born Hipotoonte attic. Cercyon his daughter buried alive but Poseidon turned her into a fountain near Eleusis. Poseidon rescued Amymone from a lecherous satyr and then fathered a child with her, Nauplius. After raping Dine, Poseidon gave him the desire to become a man.

Not all the sons of Poseidon were human. In an archaic myth, Poseidon pursued Demeter once. It rejected his advances, turning herself into a mare to hide in a herd of horses, but said the deception Poseidon became a stallion and kidnapped. Their son was a horse, Arion, who had the gift of speech. Poseidon raped Medusa also on the floor of a temple to Athena. Medusa was then transformed into a monster by it. When she later was beheaded by Perseus, Chrysaor and Pegasus emerged from her neck. Other descendants of Poseidon were Triton, the Cyclops Polyphemus and Aloadae.
