<p>Perhaps I should not point this out, but…</p>
<p>Most people remember Poseidon as the Greek god of the seas, but he was also the god of earthquakes. In greek mythology, Poseidon builds the famous walls of Troy, but after being betrayed by the Trojan prince Laomedon, Poseidon turns against Troy and sends a sea monster to terrorize the city (that is later slayed by Heracles), and later supports the Greek Agamemnon in the Trojan War of Homer’s Illiad. Afterward, Poseidon does intervene to save the Trojan hero Aeneas (the main character in Virgil’s Aeneid) from being killed by Achilles. Later, in the Aeneid, Poseidon saves the Trojan navy from destruction, albeit reluctantly, still remaining continually bitter of the Trojans.</p>
<p>And that, my friends, is why Los Angeles and USC have earthquakes :)</p>
