The Greek god Poseidon (海王ポセイドン or 海皇ポセイドン, Kaiō Poseidon^?, the two instances of Kaiō meaning King of the Seas and Emperor of the Seas, respectively) is one of the main antagonists in the MangaSaint Seiya, authored by Masami Kurumada, that was later adapted to Anime. He was created by Kurumada based on the mythologic persona of the same name.

As in Greek mythology, he is the god and ruler of the seas, brother of Hades and Zeus. In Kurumada's mythos, he incarnates on Earth by possessing the body of a human, to be able to fulfill his will.

Poseidon has engaged in battle the protector goddess of the earth Athena, in several occasions, in different incarnations centuries apart. Kurumada reveals in his manga that Poseidon battled Athena in the age of myth (Saint Seiya manga, vol.1), and later they battled in the region of Attica, 2000 years before their encounter in the 20th century. (Saint Seiya manga, vol.14). In the same way as Athena's Saints, Poseidon has a personal army assisting him since the ages of myth, formed by thousands of low-ranking soldiers, and commanded by seven tremendously powerful warriors known as the Marina Generals, whose Cosmo equals that of a Gold Saint, and don powerful armors known as Scales, that represent mythical beings of the sea.

Poseidon was introduced by Masami Kurumada in vol. 14 of his manga Saint Seiya, as a young man named Julian Solo, and he first appeared in the anime adaptation in episode 100, in the same manner. Julian, the vessel chosen by Poseidon for his soul, is a young, very handsome man, with blonde hair. In the anime adaptation, his hair color is blue, to represent the seas.

Although Masami Kurumada presented Poseidon first in an antagonic role in his manga, it was revealed that in fact Poseidon never wanted the destruction of mankind out of whim or pure evil. He is in fact, an honorable and benevolent deity. He wanted to punish humans for their evil deeds and corruption of Earth. Also, he had considerations toward Athena, since she has been the object of his affection during millennia. He awoke in the 18th century and wanted to take revenge on Athena, but because she was fighting Hades at the time, he decided he wouldn't take advantage of the situation, knowing that she wouldn't be able to oppose both deities, and returned to his slumber within Athena's Amphora, where he had been sealed centuries ago. In the third act of Kurumada's manga, Poseidon awakens briefly from his slumber, to assist Athena and her Saints in a moment of desperate need, in stopping the evil scheme of the god of the underworld, Hades.
