Triton of Greek Mythology

Triton was the messenger of the sea in Greek mythology, the son of Poseidon the king of the sea and Amphitrite the queen of the sea.

He is generally represented as a mermaid, with a humanoid upper body but with the tail of a fish.

Like his father, he carries a trident, but his characteristic appendage is a conch shell, which is used as a horn to raise the waves.

When he blew the conch so hard, it was like the roar of a ferocious beast, and even the giants with divine powers were moved by it.

According to Hesiod's Theogony, Triton and his parents lived in the Golden Temple in the depths of the sea; In the Argo Heroes, he lives on the coast of Libya, and when the Argo sails to the shores of Syltes the Younger, the crew takes the ship to Loch Triton, where the local deity Triton guides them into the Mediterranean.

Triton also appears in Roman mythology and legend, and in Aeneid, Misenus, the trumpeter of Yannis, challenges Triton, who throws the megalomanis overboard.

Over time, Triton's name and image began to be associated with a male or female merfolk creature called the Triton, who usually formed the Poseidon's escort.

The geographer Paulanias has a detailed description of Tritons.

A variant of Triton, "Kentaulos-Triton" or Ichthyocentaur (meaning "centaur fish"), is depicted with the front legs of a horse, the body of a man, and the tail of a fish. It is possible that the image of Triton comes from a Phoenician fish-shaped deity.
