Neptune (known as Poseidon in Greek culture)  was relied upon by sailors for a safe voyage on the sea. Many men drowned horses in sacrifice of his honor. He lived on the ocean floor in a palace made of coral and gems, and drove a chariot pulled by horses. However, Neptune was a very moody divinity, and his temperament could sometimes result in violence. When he was in a good mood, Neptune created new lands in the water and a calm sea. In contrast, when he was in a bad mood, Neptune would strike the ground with a trident and cause unruly springs and earthquakes, ship wrecks, and drownings.
