Detailed explanation-1: -Poseidon was the second son of the Titans, Cronus and Rhea; Hades was the first born. Like his brothers and sisters, Poseidon was eaten by Cronus after his birth, with only Zeus avoiding the same fate through his mother’s trickery.
Detailed explanation-2: -Athena and Poseidon argued over possession of Troezen, and Zeus ruled that they would share possession of the city. The most famous of Poseidon’s contests for power was over Athens [see Athenae on map], where he competed unsuccessfully with Athena [see Athena].
Detailed explanation-3: -That would be Poseidonia. It was one of the names which Athens could have had if Poseidon had won out over Athena. There’s also a large Greek colony which was named Poseidonia in Italy, which was renamed to Paestum after it was conquered.
