The tradition & historical record

Poseidea (m.kreik. Ποσείδεα, lat. Posidea) oli antiikin Ateenassa vietetty juhla, joka oli omistettu Poseidonille. Sitä vietettiin juhlasta nimensä saaneessa Poseideon-kuussa eli nykyisen joulu-tammikuun aikoihin, oletettavasti kuun 8. päivä.
Juhlasta tiedetään vain vähän. Koska se sijoittui aikaan, jolloin meri oli myrskyisin, silloin oletettavasti rukoiltiin Poseidonilta rauhallisempaa säätä, jotta merenkulkua voitaisiin pian jatkaa uudelleen. Juhlan on arveltu palautuvan hyvin varhaisiin aikoihin, kenties mykeneläiseen kauteen, jolloin luonnonvoimien mahtavimpana jumalana pidettiin meren Poseidonia, ei taivaan Zeusta.
Poseidea-juhlaan kuului ilmeisesti myöhempinä aikoina ainakin joka neljäs vuosi purjehduskilpailut. Ne järjestettiin Sunionin niemellä, jossa sijaitsi Poseidonin temppeli. Kilpailuissa käytettiin mahdollisesti kolmisoutuja.
