Poseidónas

While English speakers associate Ποσειδώνας exclusively with the sea, he was also the Greek god of horses and horses' breeding.
In Ancient Greek, the name Ποσειδῶν was likely composed of the elements meaning 'lord of the earth' or 'husband of the earth', rather than being directly linked to the sea in its original linguistic roots.
Greek sailors historically used various epithets for Ποσειδώνας, such as Enosigaios, meaning 'Earth-Shaker', because he was believed to cause earthquakes.
