In Indo-European mythology, the thunderbolt was identified with the 'Sky Father'; this association is also found in later Hellenic representations of Zeus and Vedic descriptions of the vajra wielded by the god Indra.

Still, depictions of Poseidon fighting overhand do exist. A modern cast of the statue.
