The angers of Poseidon are famous and central in Odysseus ‘s Odyssey. His attribute is the trident with three points. He is figurate by animals which incarnate the principle of fecundity, the horse, the bull, and the dolphin. The mane of the horse by similitude of the noisy undulations of the waves, the lowing of the bull, and the jumping rapidity of the dolphin.
