Best Viewed Large Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion .. about an hour’s drive from Athens, Greece. “The temple of Poseidon was constructed in approx. 440 B.C. It is perched above the sea at a height of almost 60 m. The design of the temple is a typical hexastyle i.e. it had a front portico with 6 columns. / As with all Greek temples, the Poseidon building was rectangular, with a colonnade on all four sides. The total number of original columns was 42: 18 columns still stand today. The columns are of the Doric Order. They were made of locally-quarried white marble. They were 6.10 m (20 ft) high, with a diameter of 1 m (3.1 ft) at the base and 79cm (31 inches) at the top. / At the centre of the temple colonnade would have been the hall of worship (naos), a windowless rectangular room. It would have contained, at one end facing the entrance, the cult image, a colossal, ceiling – height (6m) bronze statue of Poseidon. Probably gold-leafed, it may have resembled a contemporary representation of the god, appropriately found in a shipwreck, shown in the figure above. Poseidon was usually portrayed carrying a trident, the weapon he supposedly used to stir up storms.” ... the above abridged from Wikipedia. I took this image with my little Olympus C5000 zoom in August of 2005. A bit of Photoshop work has taken place … cloning out tourists, adding a new sky and a texture layer among others. Also available without “effects” ... please contact me for more information /

AMPHITRITE was the goddess queen of the sea, the wife of King Poseidon. Some say she was one of the fifty Nereides, others an Okeanis, but most simply describe her as the female personification of the sea: the loud-moaning mother of fish, seals and dolphins. As such she was essentially the same as Thalassa. When Poseidon first sought Amphitrite’s hand in marriage, she fled his advances, and hid herself away near Atlas in the Ocean stream at the far ends of the earth. The dolphin-god Delphin eventually tracked her down and persuaded her to return to wed the sea-king. Artwork: Me Original image by the Very Talented Barssel Model the Beautiful TextureoftheSin

In The Wake of Poseidon / Plato’s spawn cold ivyed eyes / Snare truth in bone and globe. / Harlequins coin pointless games / Sneer jokes in parrot’s robe. / Two women weep, dame scarlet screen / Sheds sudden theatre rain, / Whilst dark in dream the midnight queen / Knows every human pain. In air, fire, earth and water / World on the scales. / Air, fire, earth and water / Balance of change / World on the scales / On the scales. Bishop’s kings spin judgement’s blade / Scratch faith on nameless graves. / Harvest hags hoard ash and sand / Rack rope and chain for slaves / Who fireside fear fermented words / Then rear to spoil the feast; / Whilst in the aisle the mad man smiles / To him it matters least. Heroes hands drain stones for blood / To whet the scaling knife. / Magi blind with visions light / Net death in dread of life. / Their children kneel in jesus till / They learn the price of nail; / Whilst all around our mother earth / Waits balanced on the scales. Lyrics: King Crimson Music – In the wake of Poseidon Work in wax, metallic acrylics, pigment, gold and silver leaf and graphite (Number III in the series) 8th October 2008

The details will be more visible in a larger view. This piece is created using my base photograph (statue) and a combination of 22 separate layers of Photoshop brushes, textures & misc. smaller photos. I used the Orton Effect to enhance the glow of Neptune’s watery world. According to Greek Mythology, Poseidon) – more commonly known as Neptune, was the God of the sea, earthquakes and horses. Although he was officially one of the Supreme Gods of Mount Olympus, he spent most of his time in his watery domain. Poseidon was brother to Zeus and Hades. These three gods divided up creation. Zeus became ruler of the sky, Hades became the ruler of the Underworld and Poseidon became ruler of all water, both fresh and salt. Thank you for taking the time to view and comment – it is much appreciated. Cheers, s. /
