Neptune (Roman counterpart)

Neptune, in Roman mythology, is the god of the sea, oceans, and freshwater, equivalent to the Greek god Poseidon. He is often depicted with a trident, symbolizing his authority over water bodies. As a major deity, Neptune represented the power and unpredictability of the sea, influencing navigation, fishing, and maritime activities in ancient Rome. His realm included all aquatic environments, and he was revered as a protector and ruler of water, essential for trade and survival. The planet Neptune, named after the god, reflects the vastness and mystery of the ocean.
