Neither is correct.
2 would be right if there were a period after Poseidon.

Would it be okay if I typed my essay and if you could revise it? I already revised it but I want to make sure I did it alright before I write my final draft.
I won't revise it. But if you post it, someone may help you.
The second sentence is correct: "Tell me more," bellowed Poseidon, "Who are these people?"
When writing dialogue, it is important to follow the rules of punctuation and capitalization. In this case, the name "Poseidon" should be spelled with a capital "P" as it is a proper noun. Additionally, since the dialogue tag "bellowed" is followed by a comma, the first word within the quotation marks should be capitalized as it is the start of a new sentence.
To determine which version is correct, you can follow these steps:
1. Identify the proper noun in the sentence. In this case, it is the name "Poseidon."
2. Verify if the proper noun is written with the correct capitalization.
3. Check if the punctuation around the dialogue is correct. In this case, the comma after "bellowed" is correct because it is a dialogue tag. The question mark after "people" is also correct because it is part of Poseidon's question.
4. Compare the sentence to the rules of grammar and punctuation to determine if it is correct.
