The crashing waves, the vast unknown, the untamed power of the ocean—all are under the dominion of Poseidon, the ancient Greek god of the sea. More than just a deity of water, Poseidon embodies strength, passion, and a deep connection to the natural world. At LYRIAH Jewelry, we’ve long been inspired by the myths and legends of the sea, and today, we’re diving deep into the watery realm of Poseidon to explore how his story informs our crystal and pearl creations.
Poseidon: A God of Power and Passion
Poseidon, brother to Zeus and Hades, held immense power over the seas. He commanded storms, raised waves, and controlled the creatures of the deep. He was often depicted with a trident, a symbol of his authority and dominion. But Poseidon wasn’t just about power; he was also known for his passionate nature, his love for the sea, and his connection to the creatures within it.

The Trident’s Influence: Strength and Direction
Poseidon’s trident, a three-pronged spear, represents his power to control the seas. It also symbolizes direction, focus, and the ability to overcome obstacles.
