This Work describes how Poseidon lost his powers (life and fertility)
due to human beings who in this historical context have lost the most important values
Family, Religion and Love.
Power and Control: Just as Poseidon sought to dominate the sea and earthquakes, today people seek to control nature through technology. However, this quest for power often leads to a lack of respect for the environment, reflecting a poverty of ecological values.
Conflict and Rivalry: Poseidon's rivalry with Athena for control of Athens reflects modern competitions between nations and corporations for resources and influence. These conflicts often ignore the values of cooperation and mutual respect.
Symbolism and Iconography: Poseidon's trident is a symbol of power. Today, symbols such as money and professional success are often idolized, to the detriment of values such as integrity and community.
Environmental Impact: Poseidon was associated with storms and earthquakes, natural phenomena that are now exacerbated by climate change. Our era shows a poverty of environmental values, with little attention to sustainability.
Mythology and Popular Culture: Just as the myths of Poseidon influenced Greek culture, today the stories and symbols of mythology continue to inspire books and films. However, these modern narratives often lack moral depth, reflecting a poverty of cultural values.
These parallels show how the myth of Poseidon continues to resonate in our era, highlighting the poverty of values that characterizes many of our actions and decisions.
