Poseidón (Destripando La Historia)

The song 'Poseidón (Destripando La Historia)' by Pascu y Rodri is a playful and educational retelling of the mythological tales of Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea, earthquakes, and horses. The artists, known for their humorous and catchy songs that often explain historical or mythological stories, use a mix of modern language and cultural references to make the ancient stories accessible and entertaining to a contemporary audience.

The lyrics recount various episodes from Poseidon's mythology, starting with his near-demise at the hands of his father, Cronus, who swallowed his children to prevent them from usurping his throne. Poseidon's brother, Zeus, eventually rescues him, leading to Poseidon's reign over the seas with his trident. The song humorously touches on Poseidon's virility and his reputation for causing earthquakes, as well as his role in various mythological events, such as the building of the walls of Troy and his conflicts with other gods like Zeus and Athena.

The song also delves into Poseidon's complicated love life, including his pursuit of Demeter and his transformation into a horse to seduce her, resulting in the birth of two children. The artists use modern phrases and pop culture references, such as 'Come on, Jason, let's go party,' to add a humorous twist to the storytelling. The song concludes with a cheeky reminder that whenever one experiences a splash of water in the bathroom, it could be Poseidon giving a 'little kiss.' This playful ending reinforces the song's light-hearted approach to teaching mythology.
