Atlantis was a highly spiritually and technologically evolved civilization dating back to around 20,000 years ago that was governed by a king. The civilization was dedicated to the god Poseidon, leading many to believe that he was the king of Atlantis.<\/p>\n

Poseidon is often mistaken as being the king of Atlantis, but actually it was his son Atlas. <\/strong>Atlas was born after Poseidon seduced a human woman who lived on the continent that he made into Atlantis. Atlas was the first born of five sets of twin sons, all of whom were given kingdoms in Atlantis.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Atlantis was ruled by the kings for many years, and constructed a temple to honor Poseidon. Eventually a schism occurred and Atlantis split into two groups, before being destroyed in a series of cataclysmic events.<\/p>\n

Atlas was the Son of Poseidon<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When the Greek Gods decided to divide the earth amongst themselves, Poseidon was given the sea as well as a continent. Living in a mountain on this continent was a human named Evenor along with his Leucipe and their daughter Cleito. They were autochthones, which means \u2018people who sprung from the earth\u2019. In other words, they were indigenous to the continent. As Cleito became a beautiful young woman her parents died, and Poseidon took her as his wife. Together they had five pairs of twin sons, with Atlas being the eldest.<\/p>\n

Poseidon named the body of water around the continent the \u201cAtlantic Ocean\u201d, which has its origins in \u201csea of Atlas\u201d. He called the continent \u201cAtlantis\u201d, which means \u201cAtlas\u2019s Island\u201d.<\/p>\n

Poseidon was the Greek God of the Sea<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In Greek mythology, Poseidon is the god of the sea. He also represents earthquakes, and horses. His parents were Kronos the god of agriculture, and Rhea the goddess of fertility. Poseidon\u2019s symbol is the trident. He is known as being very moody, with a terrible temper.<\/p>\n

Poseidon became the god of the sea after him, Zeus, and Hades drew straws to determine which parts of the world they would each rule. Zeus got the skies, Hades, the underworld, and Poseidon the seas. This was described in the Iliad<\/em> by Homer<\/p>\n
