Anfítrite
Gods - Greek mythology
Amphitrite (in ancient Greek: Ἀμφιτρίτη), in Greek mythology, was daughter of the nymph Dóris and of Nereu, therefore a nereida.
She is the wife of Poseidon and goddess of the seas. At first, he refused to join the god, hiding in the depths of the oceans, in a place known only to his mother. Eventually she yielded to the pursuit of Poseidon, becoming queen of the oceans. It is represented by a trident, symbol of its sovereignty over the seas.
Like Hera, she suffered from her husband's extensive betrayals, but she did not possess the corrosive jealousy of the former.
According to accounts of the priests' visions, Amphitrite appeared to have long, smooth brown hair, light brown skin and dark eyes, having a beautiful body and looking 25 years old.
Story
In the book "The 100 Best Stories of Mythology," it is said that Amphitrite, daughter of Nereus and Doris, refused to marry Poseidon when he came to her.
Zeus, Poseidon's brother, first looked for Nereus to get him a good wife for his brother, who was causing earthquakes and hurricanes every time he got angry.
However, when Poseidon went after Amphitrite, she despised him for being rude to her, and so hid from him for little more than a year, when Zeus, desperate to see his brother so desolate, went in search of the mother of Amphitrite, who was the only person who knew where the daughter was.
Poseidon went after the nereid, who hid in a cave hidden by a forest of lichens. Different and more considerate, he conquered her and led her to be the queen of the seas and the mother of her children.
According to legend, Amphitrite is the mother of Triton. She is confused with other goddesses of other mythologies like Yemanja and Iris.
In Roman mythology, it is known as Salacia.
