Athena & Poseidon


Illustration from a lithograph by Kaeppelin et Cie., ca. 1840.)
From a vase by Amasis (Athenian potter and painter, 6th century BC - not to be confused with King Amasis of Sais.)

Poseidon has words with a recalcitrant Athena. I am reminded here of the brief history taught by Sonchis from Sais to Solon from Athens in respect of the destruction of Athens by floods. But, that is a story for another day.
