THE ANCIENT THREAD
The result is modern. The correction is ancient.
Poseidon rules sea and earthquake, but epic also places him inside a contested sibling order. Domain gives him scale without making him independent of kinship or negotiation.
Family line: Son of Cronus and Rhea; brother of Zeus and Hades, with the sea allotted to him after the Titan war.
