Poseidon was also the god of earthquakes, and many of his oldest places of worship in Greece were inland. Most scholars agree that Poseidon was brought to Greece as the god of the earliest Hellenes, who also introduced the first horses to the country. Although Poseidon lost a contest for sovereignty over Attica to the goddess Athena, he was also worshiped there, particularly at Colonus, as hippios (of horses). The chief festival in Poseidon's honour was the Isthmia, the scene of famous athletic contests, celebrated in alternate years near the Isthmus of Corinth. His character as a sea god became the most prominent in art, and he was represented with the attributes of the trident, the dolphin, and the tunnyfish. poseidon god
