Under the Ancient temple of Poseidon, God of Sea in Greek mythology the Akropolis Jet Raid 2010 will start and finish. In Roman mythology, Neptune (Neptunus in Latin) is the god of the Seas and Oceans, as well as the aquatic kingdom. Poseidon is his equivalent in Greek mythology. Neptune, the son of Saturn and Rhea was the brother of Jupiter and Pluto. Not being obliged to have descendants, Saturn ate his children when they were born. One day, Rhea gave birth to twins and wanted to save at least one of her children from the tragic fate that awaited them. She hid one in an Arcadian sheepfold and replaced him with a stone, which she wrapped in swaddling clothes. This was Jupiter, who later saved all his brothers and sisters. When Neptune divided up the universe between Jupiter and Pluto, Neptune's share was the sea, the islands and the shores. Greece is honoured to see the Jet Raid pilots exploring and challenging each other on the rough water of Peloponnesus and the riders themselves will be honoured to start and finish under the Ancient temple of Poseidon.
