Best Answer

In the earlier period of Greek civilisation, the Mycenaean culture, there was no connection between Poseidon and the sea, even though this culture flourished on an island (Crete). He was seen as the king of the underworld. Later, the poets Homer and Hesiod suggest that Poseidon became lord of the sea when his brother Zeus overthrew their father, Knonos (time). The three siblings then divided the world among themselves by lot. Zeus was goy the sky, Poseidon the sea and their sister Hades the underworld. They shared the earth and Mount Olympus.

Why was hades the god of the underworld?

Hades is the god of the underworld because when the universe needed to be divided between the three gods, Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades. They divided the sky, the sea, and the underworld. Zeus got to pick first because he is the one who killed Cronus, their father, in order to free his other siblings. Zeus chose the sky, Posedion then got to chose next. Posedion chose the sea. Now, that left the Underworld for Hades.
