Ten years all passed in this shadowy grave, Ten years from the day of your betrayal. Why, Poseidon? To execute that atrocious act to a loyal priest of your cause, One who has spread your greatness to its full extent. It seems such a merciless crime!!! This is how you repay your priests? Through a grizzly death? I remember distinctly how you betrayed me: You sided with the rest of the gods! You made no attempt to reimburse me for dedicating my life to you! I was the only one who knew of Odysseus' deadly plot; I could have prevented the destruction of Troy! Instead, you muffled the sound of weapons inside of that deathtrap Making me a fool in my comrades' eyes! You then sent your great serpents to kill me, Ensuring the downfall of my homeland. My tirade ends here, as a message of disappointment. Your path of betrayal will show you as a turncoat at heart. A monstrosity of a god!
