him to release Persephone back into the
care of her mother Demeter. However,

and when she ate of it, it bound her to the
underworld forever.

carries a scepter. He also has a helmet,
given to him by the Cyclopes, which can
make him invisible. Hades rules the dead,
assisted by various (demonic) helpers, such

mythology have descended
into the underworld, either
to question the shades or
trying to free them.

allow his subjects to leave
his domain, on several
occasions he has granted
permission, such as when

十殿阎罗

阎王是梵文的音译，意译为 " 缚 " ，缚有罪之人。原来是古印度神话中管理
阴间的天王，在《梨俱吠陀》中即已出现，佛教沿用这一说法，称阎王为
管理地狱的魔王，据《问地狱经》载，阎王从前是毗沙国的国王，在与维

Hades is the Sanskrit transliteration, translation as a "tie" tie guilty person. Ancient

and had emerged, Buddhism, followed this statement, calling for the management of
Hades hell of Darkness, it was "asked to hell by the" contains, Hades used to adjoin

九殿平等王十殿转轮王

Like his brother Zeus, Poseidon, Lord of the Sea, has many
names— Earthshaker , Rain-God, Cloud-Gatherer, and
Poseidon of the Thunderbolt, to name just a few.
　　 Poseidon was powerful, decisive （ adj. 果断的） ,
competitive, and dignified. The common symbols of Poseidon
include tridents(n. 三叉戟 ), horses(stallions), springs and
dolphins, each involving an interesting story.
　　 Poseidon's trident(n. 三叉戟 ) is now the symbol of sea
power and the mark of many maritime （ adj. 海事
的） universities. People use trident(n. 三叉戟 ) to name
certain ships, too.
　　 Poseidon's common image is as a bearded （ adj. 有胡子
的） middle-aged man, sometimes driving a chariot （ n. 马
车） drawn by sea horses, and sometimes sitting on a spring
with a trident in hand. He is often accompanied by his wife,
Amphitrite, the Goddess of the Sea, and their son, Triton, a
merman （ n. 雄性人鱼） blowing(v. 吹 ) a conch （ n. 海螺）
shell to calm or raise the waves.

Also like his brother, Poseidon was famous for his
many love conquests. Once he pursued Athena, but
was rebuffed. Athena's rejection threw Poseidon in the
willing arms of the hauntingly （ adv. 难以忘怀的）
beautiful Medusa. They stayed overnight in the temple
of Athena. Athena, furious （ adj. 极愤怒的） over this
insult （ n. 侮辱） , turned Medusa into an ugly
monster with writhing(adj. 蠕动的 )snakes in place of
her hair. And Medusa's face could turn anyone into
stone if he/she looked at it directly. But she was later
killed by the hero Perseus.

For chasing Demeter, the Goddess of crop ,
Poseidon changed himself into a
stallion （ n. 公马） . They two had a little
horse Arion as their son, who understand
plainly human speech and always won in
horse race.
Poseidon eventually did manage to fall in
love with a goddess who loved him too . The
goddess’s name is Amphitrite .

Poseidon was also a vengeful god. He
once made reprisals( 报复 ) with king of
Troy ， got even with Odysseus ,revenged
King Minos and made his wife fell love
with a bull and so on. What's more
Poseidon is also a faithful god who always
gave his word and kept with it.

Now I will talk about Dragon King in
China. Chinese Dragon King is based on
two reasons. One is the Indian
Buddhism’s incoming ,the other is that our
Chinese respect dragons and kings. Both
ancient Indians and Chinese thought the
falling rain is because of Dragon kings
Who got the water from the sea in the sky
and then sprinkled (v. 洒 )to Human.

Dragon king’s common image is a old man
with Dragon face ,which is solemnly and
kindly.
According to Buddhism books ,there is more
than one Dragon Kings. But we usually think
there are four --four seas Dragon Kings.
They are masters in the sea world, and also
master the precipitation (n. 降水量 ) on the
ground.

Both of western Poseidon and eastern Dragon
King are the master god of seas and precipitation
,and they all live in deep sea
palace in people's thought. But in the same time
their differences are clear . Poseidon's
individualities are rich and likes a human ,but
Dragon King is kindly to help people who do good
deeds and punish bad guys, his characters
approaching perfectly ,like a god more than a
human being.
