Poseidon. Amphitrite. Nereus and the Nereids. Triton and Tethys. Iris and the Graeae. Proteus and Styx and Medusa. They are of the sea, and more than the sea. They are the primordial ocean from which life arose, and which continues to sustain the world. They are the saltwater in our blood. They are storm and wind and tide and crashing waves. They are glorious beings of water and salt and light, avengers of injustice and providers of bounty. They are fathers and mothers and lovers. They are wrathful and exuberant, compassionate and wise, quixotic and impulsive and shrewd. They are Powers most worthy of our devotion, our prayers, and our respect. Hail Poseidon and the Spirits of the Sea!
From the Roaring Deep: A Devotional in Honor of Poseidon and the Spirits of the Sea Reviews
-
I really enjoyed the many modern writings of these Deities. My favorite was the Medusa story, of the waitress in the diner. Second favorite was a poem talking about how Amphitrite's swells belonged to Poseidon. It was sexual and romantic.
The modern writers for me really bring the Gods to life in this time, instead of Them only existing in history, in the past. My Gods are here and now, it's nice to have stories, hymns, prayers, and personal experiences that are, too. Breathes new life.
