Detailed explanation-1: -In Greek Mythology, Poseidon was the god of the sea, son of Kronos and Rhea. Poseidon was known to be a god with a bad temper. Stories were told that when he became angry, he would hit the ground with his trident which caused earthquakes. He was given the Earthshaker.
Detailed explanation-2: -A natural aetiological myth explains an aspect of nature. For example, you could explain lightning and thunder by saying that Zeus is angry. An etymological aetiological myth explains the origin of a word. (Etymology is the study of word origins.)
