Poseidon was known as the Greek god of the sea and the brother of Zeus. The Roman equivalent of Poseidon is Neptune, which is how the god of the sea came to be known in Roman mythology. The Romans often adopted Greek gods and goddesses into their own pantheon, giving them new names but maintaining similar attributes and domains.
