  1. Probably on Mount Olympus, with all the other Greek gods and goddesses


  2. poseidon always lived in the sea. just as hades always lived in tartarus and zeus lived on mount olympus. thats just the way it was for them.

  3. Poseidon never resides in Mount Olympus,

    for he is extremely jealous of the fact that he (being the oldest brother) did not become king of the gods (Zeus was)

    Poseidon resides in the are around the Tartarus ( a sea realm near the underworld) where the Titans are caged. The pleople of the Island of Atlentis were his main worshipers.

    ~Child of Ra

  4. On Olympus with the rest of the greater gods.

  5. In Olympus

    Or, according to Plato's Critias, in Atlantis which was his section of Earth when the gods chose regions.

    Critias 113c

    "And Poseidon, receiving for his lot the island of Atlantis, begat children by a mortal woman, and settled them in a part of the island, which I will describe.



    "Looking towards the sea, but in the center of the whole island, there was a plain which is said to have been the fairest of all plains and very fertile.



    "Near the plain again, and also in the center of the island at a distance of about fifty stadia, there was a mountain not very high on any side. In this mountain there dwelt one of the earth born primeval men of that country, whose name was Evenor, [113d] and he had a wife named Leucippe, and they had an only daughter who was called Cleito.



    "The maiden had already reached womanhood, when her father and mother died; Poseidon fell in love with her and had intercourse with her, and breaking the ground, enclosed the hill in which she dwelt all round, making alternate zones of sea and land larger and smaller, encircling one another; there were two of land and three of water, which he turned as with a lathe, each having its circumference equidistant every way from the center, so that no man could get to the island, [113e] for ships and voyages were not as yet.



    "He himself, being a god, found no difficulty in making special arrangements for the center island, bringing up two springs of water from beneath the earth, one of warm water and the other of cold, and making every variety of food to spring up abundantly from the soil.



    "He also begat and brought up five pairs of twin male children; and dividing the island of Atlantis into ten portions, he gave to the first-born of the eldest pair [114a] his mother's dwelling and the surrounding allotment, which was the largest and best, and made him king over the rest; the others he made princes, and gave them rule over many men, and a large territory."

  6. He lived in the Ocean, or rather the Mediterranean sea.  He never lived on Olympus or anywhere else and I think he was exiled like Hades to his own domain (the sea in his case).
