Did I translate this properly into Spanish?

Question

"Poseidon, the mythological Greek god who rules over the seas, is often seen holding a trident."

This is what I worte: A menudo se le ve a Poseidón, el dios griego mitológico que gobierna los mares, llevando un tridente.

My goodness. I'm sorry no one has answered you yet. Please be patient a little while longer and someone will help you. - rac1, Jun 16, 2017

Answer 1

I'm native, from Spain. Your translation is great, But I would have said: "Poseidón, el dios de la mitología griega que reina/manda sobre los mares, suele ser visto (o" se le suele ver" in a more informal way) sosteniendo/llevando/aguantando/agarrando un tridente". Both are good enough, But "A menudo se le ve a Poseidón" sounds a bit weird.

Answer 2

Greek god who rules over the seas, is often seen holding a trident."

This is what I worte: A menudo se le ve a Poseidón, el dios griego mitológico que gobierna los mares, llevando un tridente.

My own attempt:

A menudo se representa a Poseidón, el dios que reina sobre los mares en la mitología griega, portando un tridente

Actually I would say it that way. It's how it sounds better. But you are changing the original meaning. - ale9194, Jun 16, 2017

I like the addition of "en la mitología griega". - polenta1, Jun 16, 2017

Answer 3

You're translation, as I see it, is perfectly acceptable.

I would change it a bit: "A Poseidón, el díos griego mitológico, rey de todos los mares, se le ve frecuentemente con tridente en la mano."

Answer 4

A menudo se le/lo ve a Poseidón, el mitológico dios griego que gobierna los mares /reina sobre los mares sosteniendo un tridente.

Answer 5

According to Google Translate,

Poseidon, the mythological Greek god who rules over the seas, is often seen holding a trident.

is

Poseidón, el dios griego mitológico que gobierna los mares, se ve a menudo sosteniendo un tridente.
