He managed to defeat the Old Ones and the most powerful among them, Icthultu. But because he had taken all the mystic energy, he also drained the power that kept Atlantis afloat. His city drowned.

Many years later, Poseidon's trident helped Aquaman and the Justice League defeat Icthultu once again.
