Geocache Description:

Troy - Poseidon

(för svenska se nedan)

WARNING: This is a so-called "offset cache", a one-step multi-cache. The cache is hidden close to the coordinates, but not exactly there; see below.


Poseidon, the God of Seas

Story so far

The Greeks and Trojans are in the middle of their war, and some of the mightiest Gods have gotten involved. Poseidon, the God of the Seas, is still angry with the Trojans because their king never rewarded him for building their powerful city wall. Naturally, he has been helping the Greeks in their battles with the Trojans, against the will of Almighty Zeus, who has been favoring the Trojans. Eventually, Zeus thinks Poseidon has gone too far, and sends a messenger to tell him to stop interfering:


-- From the "Iliad", by Homeros

(... Go now, swift Iris,
convey to lord Poseidon these instructions,
report it all precisely—he’s to stop,
to leave the battle strife, and go away
to the group of gods or to his sacred sea.
If he won’t obey my orders and ignores them,
he should consider in his mind and heart
this point—no matter how mighty he may be,
he can’t stand up to me if I attack him.
-- Translation by Ian Johnston)

Cache description

The cache is a magnetic micro (slightly smaller than usual), and contains a logbook and a pen.

This cache is part of a series of caches in Göteborg called "Troy". Each cache in the series also contains a clue to where the final cache in the series can be found. Don't forget to write down the clue! The other caches in the "Troy" series are:

Troy - Poseidon

Troy - The Wooden Horse

Troy - Laocoön

Troy - Archaeology (final cache)

Cache location

The coordinates above only point to where Poseidon is, not to where the cache is hidden. To find the cache, you have to walk 0.025 degree-minutes eastwards for each of the Seagod's surrounding figures in the water.

På svenska

Du hittar cachen om du förflyttar dig 0.025 gradminuter österut för varje figur som omger Havsguden i vattnet. Glöm inte att skriva ner ledtråden till slutcachen i serien "Troy"!
