We got the cult movie "The Poseidon Adventure" from him as well as the trashy remake "Poseidon" which no one liked. That was a great impact upon our lives. Other than that he was just a false god to the ancient Greeks or Romans with no impact upon us today at all.

The ocean was his domain. He had a bunch of kids, mainly waves or sea nymphs.
He gave humanity horses (very useful.)
But he lost out on ruling Athens to Athena.
Oh, well.
