He was son of Cronus and Rhea, hence full brother of Zeus and Hades. Originally a god of earthquakes and water, he became the supreme god of the sea. He was vindictive and tempestuous, subject to sudden and violent rages. He begot sea monsters of all kinds as well as giants. He also sired the winged horse Pegasus upon the Gorgon Medusa, and the speaking horse Arion upon Demeter. The manes of galloping horses are likened to breaking waves.
