Poseidon: The Unpredictable King of the Seas Poseidon: The Unpredictable King of the Seas "I am the Earth-Shaker, the Lord of the Waves!" Origins: Born From Chaos Poseidon is one of the most renowned Olympian gods, though his beginnings were far from glorious.

Most people would pull out every single one of them from the ground. Few know that it's an extremely valuable medicinal and wild edible plant, which is also an important nectar...
