Neptune was the Lord of the Sea. His brothers were Jupiter - the king of all the gods, and Pluto - the king of the underworld. 

Neptune was a good looking fellow. He had deep blue eyes and streaming green hair.  He was a  restless fellow, always on the move. 

Neptune was very powerful. He could raise his hand and a new island would appear! People were terrified of Neptune, especially those who lived in coastal towns. 

The ancient built temples to honor Neptune. They brought special gifts to the temple every day, hoping to keep him happy. Sometimes it worked. Sometimes it didn't. Neptune was very moody.

Neptune had many wives. But his main wife was not jealous, so Neptune did not have the problems at home that Jupiter did.
