Mexico ‘cancels’ statue of Greek god Poseidon after dispute with local deity

Activist lawyers filed a legal complaint saying the statue of the Greek god offended the beliefs of local Maya indigenous groups.

Authorities in Mexico have slapped a “closure” order on a 10ft aquatic statue of the Greek god of the sea, Poseidon, which was erected in May in the Gulf of Mexico just off the town of Progreso, Yucatan.
