| Neptune is the roman version of the greek god Poseidon. He is a major deity and one of the twelve olympian gods. Neptune is believed to be the god of the seas and water, and also the patron of horse racing. His symbols are the horse and the trident. Neptune was the son of Saturn and Opis, he was the brother of Pluto, Jupiter, Vesta, Juno, and Ceres. His wife was Amphitrite, the daughter of Nereus and Doris. In Rick Riordan\'s The Son Of Neptune, Percy Jackson believes he is the son of Neptune, And in Injustice (video game) Aquaman yells out \"Almighty Neptune\" when performing his water move. Neptune entered a contest to see who could create the most useful being and he created the bull. Because of this, Romans often sacrifice bulls to Neptune when asking him for a favor. | |
