The Tension Between Lavendria And Poseidon

Improved Essays
Long ago in the deep, blue oceans and the boundless seas near Greece, peace did not exist in the waters. Two siblings, Lavendria and Poseidon, were enemies who did not love one another, like brother and sister should. The two fought like cats and dogs, constantly nagging at one another. The urge to start a fight was uncontainable, similar to brawls between the two common house pets. Poseidon, god of the sea and earthquakes, specifically ruled over the Mediterranean Sea. He lived there on a daily basis and protected all sea animals. His younger sister, Lavendria, was also an immortal goddess, who ruled the Atlantic Ocean, which happened to be the ocean that the Mediterranean flowed into. Lavendria was the goddess of tsunamis, and she looked …show more content…

“Good idea. Let’s create more of this object, so the your whole ocean can enjoy it!”
Using their special powers that the god and goddess had in possession, they created a multitude of the unknown substance. The siblings made it into all different shapes and sizes, and dispersed the rock like clumps all over the ocean.
“We still need to name it,” stated Poseidon.
“Hmmmmm. I have it. How about seashells! Since we can’t place this foreign substance into your sea, we can name it in your honor. It will remain in my ocean, but we will call them seashells.”
“That is a great idea. I love it,” concluded Poseidon, as the two finally swam back to their family.
Everyone lived happily ever after, and seashells still exist on the earth today thanks to Lavendria and Poseidon. The shells represent the peace that came about whenever the two siblings ended their personal war. The seashells lie on the beach and float freely through the ocean, to show the calmness that came to the waters on the beautiful, sunny day that Poseidon and Lavendria ended their

Since “not even the gods/ can defend a man… from that day/ when fate takes hold and lays him out at last”, Athena must come up with other ways to help save Odysseus from Poseidon, a more powerful god, on his journey(III.269).
