Story

Dated: 405-367 BC

Syracuse, Sicily

Hippocamp: Hippos (horse) + kampos (sea monster). Poseidon, god of the sea, drives a chariot drawn by hippocampi.

The hippocampus is viewed as a benevolent and spiritual creature. As a mythical creature, it is strongly associated with creativity, imagination, agility, and strength. Sailors regarded the hippocampus as a good omen because it could control the waves and the weather.

Athena: Athena was Zeus's favorite daughter. She symbolizes wisdom, bravery, and resourcefulness.
