Amphitrite In Greek mythology, a sea-goddess, daughter of Nereus, or of Oceanus, and wife of Poseidon. When the latter demanded her in marriage, she fled to Mount Atlas, but was discovered by a dolphin, which Poseidon had sent after her, and borne back by him. In sculpture, she is often represented sitting next to Poseidon, or drawn by Tritons. Also on this site: Encyclopedia of Science Encyclopedia of Alternative Energy & Sustainable Living |
