Greek Gods and their footballing counterparts

Poseidon – Lionel Messi

The Poseidon among footballers!

If Messi is not Zeus, then he is the God that is actually the most powerful in Greek mythology. Many believe that Zeus wields the most power in Greek myth, and they can’t be blamed for that. After all, the king of Gods must be the most powerful in order to be the king of Gods, right?

Wrong.

Zeus’ brother and the God of the seas, Poseidon is actually more powerful than his brother. While Zeus could throw a lightning bolt and mimic other people’s voices as well as shape-shift and turn humans into animals, elder brother Poseidon could cause earthquakes and storm as well as control the sea.

That’s not all. Poseidon, according to Greek myth, can control the atmosphere with psychic powers. He is also the God of wind, horses, seas, oceans, rivers, flood and drought. Cool, isn’t it?

Cristiano Ronaldo might go on to win his 4^th Ballon d’Or title, but in terms of ability, the Argentine is a lot of ahead of his Portuguese rival, which makes him the Poseidon among footballers.
