PANHELLENIC GAMES : Isthmian Games

      The Isthmian Games are believed to have originated as funeral games for Melicertes (aka Palaemon), who died after being thrown into the sea from a high rock. These special games were celebrated a year before and after the Olympic Games or every two or four years.

The winners of the Games would receive a wreath of celery leaves that would later be altered to pine leaves known as Isthmian pine. They would also receive a statue or an ode or coins.

The Isthmian Games will be hosted by mythandlegend along with talesofthedeep and FreeThePOC

You're on a quest to find a mythical seahorse that hasn't been seen in centuries. On your way, you encounter a number of bizarre things (e.g. merfolk with healing touches, storms that upset entire seas, fish that float above water). 

Do you succeed in your quest?

 Why did you need to find the seahorse in the first place?

The last time you remember was falling asleep after a tiring day. You wake up to find yourself in the Atlantic where Poseidon resides and rules. And, it looks like he is in need of help to find a cure to an unknown illness to which you know best about as your profession is a doctor. But, the only issue is, this illness is something you had trouble curing.

 What would you do now?
(Please include at least one character of POC.)
