The sculpture of Poseidon holding a Trident is located in The Bermuda Maritime Museum which is a sprawling six-acre fortress at the edge of the Royal Naval Dockyard at Bermuda's West End. Eight historic buildings, including old munitions warehouses and the newly restored and award-winning Commissioner's House, contain a great variety of exhibitions on Bermuda's rich history.
Poseidon is a god of many names. He is most famous as the god of the sea. The son of Cronus and Rhea, Poseidon is one of six siblings who eventually "divided the power of the world." His brothers and sisters include: Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, and Zeus. The division of the universe involved him and his brothers, Zeus and Hades. Poseidon became ruler of the sea, Zeus ruled the sky, and Hades got the underworld. The other divinities attributed to Poseidon involve the god of earthquakes and the god of horses. The symbols associated with Poseidon include: dolphins, tridents, and three-pronged fish spears.
